Terrorists don't aim their bombs at particularly races, they kill everyone. Muslims have lost family members to terrorist attacks too, and it'll be a minority that would even consider to protect people, BEFORE you go rubbing today's news in my face about the wife and sister who helped the terrorist from london bus bombing escape.

There is no doubt the majority of Muslims are good people who do not condone terrorism. However, laws like this can help recruit terrorists (as can be seen during the IRA years).
