"Counter terrorism powers" now that is big area. I suppose the headlines could easily have read.
Home office minister advises asians that they are all going to be locked up without trial
That's a counter terrorism power they have, but she didn't say that or indeed imply that. Nor did she imply that they were going to stop and search everybody either.

Yes, but then, as you go on to say...
You see, it's this word "disproportionately" that gives problems.
If the response was *proportionate* to the threat, I wouldn't necessarily object so greatly, but she's *not* talking about it being "proportionate".
She's talking about treating an entire *religion* as suspects.

Is's disporportionate in so far as if you are an islamic asian then you are more likely to viewed with suspicion in a given circumstance - that is a fact, there's no wrapping it up in sugar.

 Oh, that's *priceless* Pierre!!
You're asking everyone to calm down then you say something grossly offensive and inflammatory to the entire Islamic religion saying that *all* of their condemnations of terrorist are nothing but "lip service" and implying that, secretly they're actually approving of these actions and want them to succeed.

Words in mouth time, much like what's happened to the minister.
I'm not implying that. However, I do believe that
not all those that speak out are genuine.
