If they don't want to get touched by sniffer dogs looking for explosives, then they must stop killing innocent people and protecting those among them who plan to do more terrorism. Muslims have been blowing people up on the London public transport system. It is entirely within the rights for a sovereign nation to do what it can to reduce the chance of that happening again.

Everyone else in a country is expected to reduce their freedoms if it is required in times of need. Muslims who choose to live in the UK - or any other Western country - must be expected to do the same. If they have a problem with dogs touching them when it is necessary for the protection of others, they can STFU and deal with it or leave the country.

I'm pretty sure if we were living in Iran or Saudi Arabia and we objected to those parts of Sharia law that we found offensive such as their practice of beheading people, we would not be heeded. Why should we heed those who are offended by a PICTURE of a dog sitting in a hat? The picture of a dog isn't going to hurt anyone.
