But to have it over someone who dresses like they might be a muslim is pure bollox and totally irrational no matter which way you look at it.
Thats true that its stupid statement and in many cases terrorist don't look like terrorists(generally speaking) but you should see a faces of regular people when an Arab with big bag would enter a bus in a period of time when Israel signed peace treaty with PLO and buses blew up almost every week.
Thats a BASIC instinct that happen to be with most if not all of people.
