You'd be lifting the guard placed around them which increases their potential to harm others.
And the law does not discriminate. It accounts for the differences between normal people and mages.
Given that some circles are housed in major cities I strongly disagree. In those cases you'd be diminishing their ability to harm others by putting some distance between them. The distance between them and potential victims would diminish the threat and it'd make the mages safer from abuse at the hands of templars.
Descriminate: make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of
different categories of people or things, esp. on the grounds of race,
sex, or age.
Yes the mages are being descriminated against based on their race.

Allowing yourself to be influenced by another is bad, period.
You mean like how the templars influence the mages? You know. Taking their children from them, locking them away for life, forcing them to fight a demon to the death. By your own statement the mages allowing the templars to influence them is bad.

How would this set anyone but mages free?
With the mages in an isolated region there would be less of a need for templars. They wouldn't need to continue poisoning themselves with lyrium use and slowly destroying their own minds. They could then devote themselves to other chantry friendly tasks such as hunting bandits. There was one templar that was well liked because he'd take some time from his patrols and go check outlying farms. They'd have more time for such activities.

Just as bad or worse.
For someone who's so fearful of others influence you'd think you'd sympathize with the mages not wanting the chantry's laws forced on them or even the Rivaini's people desire to keep their seers or the Dalish desire to keep their keepers. Double standard?

I can think of plenty of other drastic changes.
How many of them wouldn't be your speculation?

One Abomination in Redcliff killed dozens of people and nearly destroyed the city.
Dozens of Abominations in the Circle were contained and not a single one escaped to threaten the civilians outside the Circle.
Therefore, I feel confident in claiming that the system works. If the system works in keeping the people safe, then yours must be even more effective in order for it to be considered. And sending mages far away and hope for the best does not seem a very reliable plan to me.
Can you prove that was the templars doing? Uldred didn't seem to be making a major push for an escape as he was busy torturing the mages the templars failed to protect and some surviving templars. It was Wynne and a few of the mages preventing the demons from reaching the doors. I see that as the templars being saved by a few benevolent mages while the templars ran and hid.
What about the people who were inside the tower at the time?

There have been failures but just because one or two particularly powerful mages or organized groups manage to escape containment, that doesn't mean the Templars are not effective. For instance, they destroyed the mage underground in Kirkwall.
As well as turn some of their own against them and make the remaining mages more desperate helping to bring about a war even going so far as to sick death squads on the people they're suppose to protect. I wasn't going to bring up DA2 but as you brought it up. How many people do you believe were killed by those circle mages? Especially during the fighting in the streets.
Plus if you want to use DA2 to argue why templars are effective I may as well yes mage Hawke, Anders and Merrill to argue why they aren't. Cullen must be freaking blind not to notice Merrill and especially Anders. Even my warrior Hawke had the elf blood mage walking around with her.
