Can anyone see anything wrong with only searching muslims ?

I realise it would make terrorists try to sneak bombs on board with other passengers ... but who is going to offer to carry a package for someone ?

No ! That's not what I'm advocating.

I met an Australian girl who had converted to the Moslem faith ............ I see nothing wrong with asking all Moslems, who are after all containg a fanatic minority who wish to cause harm to the west, to put up with being searched.

All of the attacks have been carried out by Moslems.

I know what your saying and im well aware many people would be of the same opinion but it would never happen.

How would it encourage racism ?

I would have thought if people could see Moslems/ Muslims putting up with this inconvenience they would get sympathy rather than an increase in hatred from racists.

It will encourage the belief that every Muslim is a terrorist and an enemy of the country. Furthermore every Muslim will resent being targetted because a miniscule minority of their religion want to blow people up.

I have no problem with Muslims resenting being the only people searched ........... the alternative is that we all will be.

The analogy pointed out what a miniscule minority was capable of.

How many Moslems support Al Queda in response to being asked by pollsters ?

It might be a miniscule minority who are prepared to blow themselves and others up but it appears they have more than a miniscule minority supporting them.

if there was a gang of young white males robbing people at train stations, police wouldnt search old black women in relation to the crime would they?

spending more time searching muslims at airports is the best way to use the resources available but it will never happen as its not pc.

Perhaps search all men just to be safe.
