Anti-terror safety demands are displaced onto Muslims disproportionately
Evidence
Ensuring safety from terrorism is in the interests of all citizens, including Muslims. However, it is contrary to both equality and human rights law that Muslims, far more than any other group, are expected to pay for such safety at the cost of being subject to suspicion, demonization, racial stereotyping and unwarranted interference with their private lives. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 432
