No. The proposal is for ordinary people (the police) ask questions of other ordinary people (Muslims) to try and find information and weedle out less than ordinary people (terrorists). It's a form of communication. Granted, it may not appear the perfect way to open lines of communication, but it's quick and direct. Isn't that the best way to combat terrorism?
