But the question is so loaded and misses the point. In promoting stop and search, and explicitly accepting that more innocent muslims will be subject to it, the Police risk losing the support of the 1.6m muslims who live in Britain and who are already feeling alienated because of growing Islamophobia in which people increasingly equate 'muslim' with 'terrorist' Indeed in an earlier post you talked of targeting Muslims. Slip of the keyboard no doubt, but it's terrorists we're supposed to be targeting.
Anyway, as I say, my argument is simply that this tactic will be counter-productive.
