The London police are racially profiling Muslims on mass transit systems....

Real American:
....and I for one say its about time. Unfortunately we in America are too stupid to do it because it isn't "politically correct". In NewYork City, they just started a program where they randomly search the bags of people on the subway in an effort to stop Islamic terrorists. But they don't want to racially profile, so they are searching blond haired blue eyed teenage girls, Japanese people, elderly women....pretty much everyone except the people who would be actual terrorists. It is ridiculous. Anyway, read the last few paragraphs of this article.

Alert over fears of third attack
2 August 2005

Police are still on high alert in London amid fears that a third terrorist cell could be plotting another strike on the capital.

Thousands of officers have been on the streets and guarding Tube and overland rail stations.
 
It came as the huge security operation continued, despite all four suspected would-be bombers from July 21 being in custody.

Security sources have reportedly told The Times newspaper that a third group, believed to be made up of British-born Muslims, was on the verge of staging an attack on the Tube system last week.

The men are thought to be of Pakistani origin, and have links with the Leeds-based terrorist cell which carried out the July 7 bombings which killed more than 50 people.

However, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said that the possible existence of a third team of bombers was "media speculation".

"We can't guarantee that there won't be a third attack, but we have never talked about a third cell."

She added: "We are remaining vigilant and operations continue."

British Transport Police have been targeting specific ethnic groups for "intelligence-led" stop-and-searches as part of their heightened security measures.

BTP Chief Constable Ian Johnston said that his officers would not "waste time searching old white ladies".

mauzip:
You have no idea how much respect I have for the London police.

rafsta:
europeans get to the point, no fucking around... stupid U.S is scared to offend people...

the muslims should understand it too, if i looked like a muslim i wouldnt be cut that they search me, atleast i'd feel safer they are doing their job.

UAK:
Good luck with that  ;) but there are White/Asian/Latino/African American Muslims you can't profile.

What are you gonna do then ?

Deeez Nuuuts:
This is good, but I doubt a muslim who was planning an attack would dress like it was obvious that they are islamic
