I'm not sure what you mean about knee-jerk reaction? do you mean to this thread (the first of its kind I believe) ? or all the threads that keep going up about Muslims committing crimes? The only reaction you can have to a thread like this is a sense of sadness and anger towards this man's killers but on that other thread about Muslim rape, I've seen a few very strong knee-jerk reactions towards Muslims not just the rapists.

I think you need to be careful about terms. People are rightly concerned after the events in Paris, they have been told by governments to be more vigilant and careful. That advice doesn't come without consequences, but it doesn't necessarily equate to racism either

Some English fans used to go abroad and cause havoc where ever they went. It was a small bunch out of the total, number of fans, but the towns where they visited would be vigilant and prepared for trouble from any English fans. That doesn't make them racist, not in the least.
