	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| The Guardian profile: Hazel Blears MP
		When Hazel Blears was first elected an MP in 1997 some London barrister colleagues at Westminster could scarcely conceal their disdain for the diminutive solicitor from Salford whose bubbly enthusiasms seemed to out-Blair Tony Blair's.
		Eight years on Ms Blears, now 49, is a recognisable starlet in the government firmament, minister of state in charge at the Home Office during Charles Clarke's absence on holiday, a combative defender of government policy on radio and TV.
		Blears is thus as much a Blunkett Babe as a Blair Babe, like Beverley Hughes, a Lancashire councillor spotted and nurtured by their Sheffield council colleague.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Muslims face increased stop and search
		Hazel Blears, the minister responsible for counter-terrorism, said yesterday that Muslims will have to accept as a "reality" that they will be stopped and searched by the police more often than the rest of the public.
		Ms Blears also cited new Home Office stop and search figures showing that the rise in the number of Asian people stopped under the Terrorism Act was no longer as sharp as those involving white or fl people.
		Ms Blears said the figures may reassure the Muslim community they were not being unfairly targeted but she said it was important for the government to develop a broader conversation with the Islamic community than just talking about the terrorist threat.

		IHRC condemns in the strongest terms the dangerous comments made by Home Office minister Hazel Blears that Muslims should be ready to be disproportionately targeted by anti-terror laws.
		Ms Blears stated that since the terror threat facing Britain is coming from "people associated with Islam", it was only right that Muslims should become disproportionate victims of stop and search and other anti-terror powers.
		IHRC is curious as to whether Ms Blears can define "Islamic appearance" as Muslims consist of every type of ethnic background.
