Equality of religion?

[Thorne]

They say at the end of that article, "The same considerations and respect for faith and diversity are always applied no matter what the belief
of the household, Muslim or otherwise."

It's my suspicion (no evidence to support it) that these "concessions" needed to be spelled out for Muslims in particular because of violations which had occurred in previous raids on suspected terrorists. Still, it does smack of either favoritism or fear of reprisals. Certainly not the right kind of attitude for the police.

The thing is, the muslims in UK have had a hard time of it with suspisions from other people, harrasment from the police, and pressure from the more radical of their own to be more radical.
Maybe this is simply a rather sensible attempt to try to calm things down.

I agree that one should not give in to pressure or fear of retaliation.
