That was my point Neil. People talk about "whites and Muslims" which is illogical. There is nothing to stop white people being Muslim and in fact there are white Muslims and black Muslims as well as brown Muslims and Muslims of various assorted shades and hues. There seems to have become a confusion in people's minds between ethnic origin and religious affiliation.

I do understand that the majority of people here in this country whose ethnic origins are from the Indian subcontinent probably are Muslim but there are also Christians and Sikhs and Hindus and probably others I don't even know about. The fact that we each want to stay within our own religion does not make us racist. It's nothing to do with race.

There's a daft little thing I remembered where I was sitting in church one day and on the row in front was a teenage girl whose father is white British and whose mother is from the West Indies and has a dark brown skin with black curly hair. The girl herself has long straight black hair and brown skin. Someone who didn't know her asked me who the Muslim girl was!!! Apart from the fact that she isn't even of Asian origin it should have been plainly obvious that as she was sitting in a Christian church taking part in a Christian sacrament service she was highly unlikely to be Muslim!

BTW why did you vote BNP Flashy? Those people worry me.
