No, only the ones (according to Xaccers) who happen to pray at the same mosque as a "suspect".
I agree that communication should be kept open. However surrounding them with a noticable "police presence" is probably not the best way of saying to these people "we want you as part of *our* society"...

The big difference is that the Muslim culture is very different from or own, not least in that they fundamentally oppose some things that most of us take for granted, and many have fought long and hard to achieve. And by the way, there are actually a lot of "blacks only" communities in the UK.
The communication lines have to be opened, and kept open. Someone has to start the ball rolling, and in this case, it may well be the police.
Re: your comment about Xaccers, what's that got to do with anything? I don't know Xaccers personally, but I would bet you a pound to a penny that he actually won't get to decide who is and isn't questioned?
