I'm not saying that they would be lax in their response / fail to protect Muslims. I'm suggesting that the level of response in this case might be disproportionate to the intelligence that has actually been received. We do of course know that there are different alert levels - I'm just saying it's possible that they might be artificially stepping up that level because of the potential fallout.
Again, I'm not saying I know this to be the case, because obviously us civvies are not given information detailed enough to make that call. I'm just saying it's feasible. And that Jews being threatened isn't any "sadder" than Muslim being threatened, if those being threatened are innocent. And let's not pretend that innocent Muslim people havent been attacked and threatened across Europe in the last week.
