Plastic bags to be put over Birmingham 'terror cameras'
Muslims will cry about anything .
The U.K. has the more Security cameras trained on it's citizens , Than any other country in the world , It is something These citizens all have to deal with in their everyday lives .
Except for Muslims , They feel they need to know where every camera is , nobody else waking the streets of the U.k Know or really even care , But the muslims feel as though they are the only ones being watched

Bags are to be put over dozens of surveillance cameras in parts of Birmingham with large Muslim populations, after local objections.
Safer Birmingham Partnership (SBP) said 218 cameras were put up, including hidden ones, mainly in the Washwood Heath and Sparkbrook districts.
The cameras were financed through a counter-terrorism fund, but the SBP said they would tackle all crime.
Councillor Salma Yaqoob said people had lost faith in the authorities.
The Respect Party councillor for Sparkbrook said: "In terms of reassurance it's going to take a lot more than plastic bags.
"The residents have lost faith with the authorities for their sneaky handling of the way they went about this and will not be reassured until they have been told the locations of the hidden cameras too."
SBP - a partnership of the police, the city council and other agencies - said 72 cameras had been placed covertly but that they would not be covered by the plastic bags.

A British soldier dubbed the Silent Assassin has broken a distance record after taking down two targets from a mile and a half away.
Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, a British Army sniper, killed two Taliban machine gunners in Afghanistan from a distance of 8,120 feet, Sky News reported.
"The first round hit a machine gunner in the stomach and killed him outright. He went straight down and didn't move," the 35-year-old said of the incident, which took place in November 2009.
"The second insurgent grabbed the weapon and turned as my second shot hit him in the side. He went down, too. They were both dead."
Harrison was nearly 3,000 feet beyond the effective range of his British-built L115A3 Long Range Rifle...
The sniper's shots broke a record previously held by Cpl. Rob Furlong, a Canadian Forces soldier, who in 2005 killed an Al Qaeda gunman from about 7,972 feet away.
Sgt. Brian Kremer of the United States Army held the record in 2004 with a shot in Iraq that struck its target from about 7,545 feet.
