Why should muslims in the UK get special "protection" unavailable to anybody else? The are laws that deal with racism, religious prejudice, inciting hatred etc already.
P.S. The best of luck with the baby, I hope everything goes well with you.

No, they were set up to target
terrorists. They would apply equally to, say, the IRA, if they returned to violence. At present, though, the primary terrorist threat to the UK is from muslim radicals, like it or not.
the police stop and search rules target muslims, especially practicing ones where as everyone knows the people who did these things shaved off their beards and looked like westernised immigrants.
Not so long ago the accusation was that blacks were targeted by stop-and-search, not muslims. Under
law, however they should not target any religious or racial groups, so if such abuse occurs it can be prevented by ensuring the existing laws are correctly applied, not by bringing in new ones. What are you suggesting, a stop-and-search law that prohibits its application to muslims?
