ええ？変な文だww
Muslims...are now the most likely victims of stop and search=
Police choose muslims for stop and search more than anyone else.
with a full beard being like a red rag to a bull=
This sentence compares the police's attraction to muslims with a bull chasing a red cloth in a Spanish bull fight.
for the Five-O to go Rambo on ya=
five-0 is slang for police
"going rambo" is slang for being unnecessarily brutal. (rambo is a movie)
ya is slang for you
The whole thing is just an overexaggerated way of saying "police constantly single out muslims for random searches"

Do you think it is a weird sentence?
Anyway, thanks a lot.

It's weird because it starts out sounding like an ordinary statement of fact, then it drops into heavy street slang halfway through.
