I think that's the general idea Gary - if we are to believe all the anti muslim hysteria.

Whilst I have no sympathy for this chap (and one has to wonder how the police came to have his dna before the offence was committed) I think it's worth pointing out the following for clarity.
The CPS are referring to acts carried out
by a follower of Islam, not
on a follower of Islam. It's not racial beacause, as the CPS have stated quite clearly, "...no racial or religious group can be shown to have been targeted".
You are, not unusually, looking at the issue from completely the wrong perspective.

No one, in the context of this particular incident, has said that Islam isn't a religion. That is something that you have imagined someone has said as a result of your inability to understand the context of statements made in relation to same.
Again, here are the relevant points:
"The CPS said Shah's offence could not be charged as a hate crime because the law requires that damage must target a particular religious or racial group.
It said: 'While it was appreciated that what was sprayed on the memorial may have been perceived by some to be part of a racial or religious incident, no racial or religious group can be shown to have been targeted."
