.....and they should be helping us stop terrorists......but they don't appear to be very enthusiastic about doing so.  |
Want to back that claim up with any cites or proof?
Or is it just what you've seen reported in the Tabloid Media (those noted bastions of impartial reporting...!) about a minority of Muslims??

But they would look pretty f'kin stupid if the four were terrorists and the police hadn't stopped them because they looked like muslims  
|
And once again the presumption of innocence goes out of the window...
So far all we have is a "group of four men... near an airport". Should *ALL* Muslims near airports be stopped and searched "just in case"...?
Maybe we should stop Muslims living anywhere under the flight paths to Heathrow et al...

How many do you want? And how many does it take for you to perceive it to be a threat? Answer: None. And none. Wait for it to happen and it's no longer a threat. |
How many do I want? None.
Do I want to violate the civil rights of an entire religion *just in case* one of them may be planning such an attack? Hell no!
But you seem to think that such an action is justifiable based on nothing more than fear and suspicion.

What is being proposed are "preventative" measures, not punishments. Punishment comes after the act. I know which I would prefer to happen.
|
And we could do more to prevent this from happening by kicking all Muslims out of the country or locking them up "just in case"...
Ever read 2000AD? Ever heard of Judge Death...?
