"you shouldn't be afraid to say asian, but please bear in mind it is muslims who are terrorizing not asians"

I am no more afraid to say Muslim than I am to say Asian, but again, I will only say it if I know it to be true. No-one knows if this man was Muslim or not. I know many Muslims who are not Asian. Muslim (Islam) is a religion, not a race. I know even more Asians who are not Muslim. Don't confuse the two.

I envy you your ability to know a persons religious affiliation and ethnic background without a) meeting; b) seeing; c) hearing and d) being told by that person.
