There is no getting away from the fact that if you are trying to counter the threat, because the threat at the moment is in a particular place, then your activity is going to be targeted in that way.

Now as far as I can see it clearly states that activity is a) falling disproportionately on the Muslim Community and b) that activity is being *targetted* towards that community. |
As far as I see it, there is a women telling it like it is.
a)The threat is from Islamic terrorists, therefore it is not very clever using your "resources" surveiling Jews, Bhuddists, Christians, Wiccans etc Of course compared to those other religions there will be a disproportionate experience.
I don't see how there could possibly a proportionate experience
b)Of course its targetted at that community, what other community should they target.
