I agree with you over all (however when I've spoken with Mossos it's been much better than with the Guardia Civil, so they are not all bad)

I was thinking of their motivations. Regarding terrorism, they missed one guy who planned an attack, so it's not surprising they want to chase all Muslims now. I think a lot of it is to do with protecting their backs.
