True, but there is no getting away from the fact that it is muslim extremists that are the perceived threat.
If was hare Krishnas then if you had a bald head, orange robes and little symbols on your fingers then you may be viewed with suspicion in a given circumstance.
And I have to stress "given circumstance" if you are a muslim or asian out doing your shopping on the high street you will not be unneccessariliy harassed.
but if you were to go into a chemical wholesalers and ask for 300ltrs of a volatile compound then that might get someones attention.

True, but that is the wrong point.
The search was a condition of your entry to that establishment. If you objected to the search, you could choose not to go in there.
If you object to the Police searching you because you look like you follow a particular religion, they arrest you.

I take your point, but I refer you back to my posts on Northern Ireland for a better analogy
