I think you're reading too much in to my post. If people are uncomfortable with Islam, I don't consider them to be racist. If some people express the opinion that they would not want Britain to be an Islam state then equally I would not call them racist. Even if there are some people who would actively prevent Islam from running the UK, I would not call them the racists I'm talking about.

I for one do not want the UK to be run by Islam. I am engaged to a British-Indian woman and I'll be taking on her 2 British-Indian children when we are married. She is a former Muslim (she took on the religion as part of her Sharia Law marriage to the children's father - that's a different story though). She has told me the other side of Islam. It will never appeal to me but it I can see it is, in the main a peaceful faith. But I am Christian and I'm happy for the UK to remain a (predominantly) Christian country, although there should always be room for opposing faiths and non-faiths.

The reason I digress is to demonstrate I don't consider everyone who opposed Islam to be racist. But in the context of the point I'm making, those who are happily racist and islamaphobic could be relied upon to ensure it never controls the UK although as I've stated, I hope it never gets that far.
