Not all Muslims are Terrorists!

[Mister Agenda]

But if it's a swarthy-skinned or slant-eyed foriegner, the response is...different. His race won't be questioned, but his nationality or religion will be used as a basis to drum up hate. But it's nothing to do with complexion. Honest.

You're right, it's not.

If I see a brown girl walking about and she's wearing 'western' clothing, perfectly 'assimilated' if you like into British culture, I wouldn't bat an eye. I see one wearing full hijab on the streets of Birmingham and I think "wtf, you're not in the middle east, why are you wearing that shit".

But that's got fuck all to do with race. It has to do with the stupid religion that dictates they wear such a thing. You could argue 'culture', has a lot more to do with it perhaps, but not race.

Can we please stop with this bullshit side-tracking deflection of the issue. This is not about race.

Well if you wouldn't bat an eye, that must mean that the overlap between racists and anti-Muslim bigots is just a coincidence and people getting beaten or shot for 'looking Muslim' in no way implies that their superficial ethnic characteristics have anything to do with bigots disliking them.
