"...No-one knows if this man was Muslim or not"

Yes, we do. They were Muslims.

"I know many Muslims who are not Asian. Muslim (Islam) is a religion, not a race"

And what race are the muslims who are asian that you know?


"I know even more Asians who are not Muslim. Don't confuse the two".

Yes, thank you for repeating my earlier point, in which i said,

"Please don't get the idea that it is 'asians' who are to blame for these attacks, asian has a very broad meaning, and i tire of the media using the name asian to describe these attackers".

I agree, and that is why i tire of the media always describing the rioters in Bradford as Asians, when they were Muslim, and the same with the recent terror attacks, to call them asian is to criminalize every asian group, when the motive behind these attacks is not the fact that the killers are asian, but they are muslims who believe their faith gives them credence to kill.
