Re: Muslims should expect to be stopped....

Some posts have been considered, others less so and there has definitely been more than a hint of Islamophobia in some.

I do not think that those who have argued against this measure on both practical and moral grounds have acted 'because it's Islam' and threatened to call people racist. If someone makes a post on this or any other thread which makes sweeping generalisations or pours opprobrium on people because they are of a different race, religion or culture, or because that poster has no understanding of, or interest in understanding a different race, religion or culture, then it may be legitimate to point out they are being racist ( and my own rule is always to be wary of a post beginning "I'm no racist but...."

Personally though, I think this debate has run its course as little in the way of fresh ideas are being brought to the table from either side.
