That is reality, but she has not issued a directive to stop and search only muslims nor has she said that they should get used to it.

That is racist. Or, if you prefer, religionist. Whatever you want to call it, it is *discriminatory* based on nothing more than fear and innuendo and *that* is most definitely an *unacceptable* fact.

No it's not.

If, for example, an unkept scruffy individual was loitering around the jewellery dept in Harrods he would be viewed with suspicion in that circumstance. If he was under the arches with a can of special brew he wouldn't.

In a given circumstance an asian or islamic looking person may be viewed with suspicion over another individual.

It is not racist
