The PC jibe is commonly used by racists and bigots trying to hide their views behind supposed common sense.

Your point is that on grounds of ethnicity that people from SE Asia should be picked out and checked .

It ignores

a, Muslims are NOT a race . Islam is a religion and there are members from a multifarious range of different ethnic backgrounds . As Brian pointed out Richard Reid was from a mixed race Jamaican-English background. The white Englishman flying to Magaluf might be less likely to be a radical Islamic terrorist but it is not impossible . Indeed , if you were a white radical Muslim what better way to disguise yourself

b, The peoples of SE Asia comprise numerous religions -Hindusim, Sikhism for a start .

In essence , your proposal is to impose wholly unjustified collective punishment and isolationon the grounds of colour of skin. The sort of rubbish that was used to justify internment such that my great grandparents were interned in WW1 for being German whilst their sons fought for Britain on the Western Front :angry:

Moreover , if you want to radicalise more young Muslims then your proposal is a recruiting sergeant .
