Would you honestly and truthfully be saying that if a person with ginger hair a kilt and claymore was stopped because he looked scottish?
Or a man walking down street with leeks and clogs being stopped because he looked Welsh?
Graham, I do accpet our views are extremely different in these cases (but not always ALL the time). But I do sense that a lot of what shapes your views does come down to their race. For example, I am under the distinct impression that because they are black and muslim, you will jump to their defence, no matter what.
Whilst I often fail to see the side you obviously do, I do think that you fail to see what any repercussions could be should we ignore the fact.
What is right?
What is wrong?
We both are almost certainly in the wrong in our views. The right choice would be somewhere down the middle. However that choice isnt always possible.
There is a growing problem, yes the problem is fundementally an islamic one. But the islamic groups need to realise that whilst they cover for the behaviour of their kind, in the name of their religion, its inevitable that they are all, at some point, going to be regarded with suspicion. And whilst that happens, the powers of stop and search will be used.
