I never stated that Enoch Powell mentioned Muslims nor did I state that he was not a racist. Enoch Powell was referring to immigrants and their descendants and today that includes Muslims. When he made that speech there were very few Muslims in the UK.
So tell me which of the current Muslim population is not an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant?
Mentioning “Negro” or “Negroes” FIVE TIMES in a speech of just over 3,000 words can hardly be called many times.
The link that I provided contained a link to the speech in full for anyone interested enough to read it.

Seems to me that you are the one putting your own "spin" on a speech that was at the time clearly aimed at the Black population...not Muslims as was the origin of this thread.
