So why do
you suggest that any criticism of Muslims is de facto racism?
I know that the argument of "if they don't like it they can go back home" is not very good - as you have said, for many Muslims in the UK this
is home. I think to assume that anyone uttering something along these lines is intrinsically racist, is - of itself - a prejudice.
However, I do believe that if 'they' don't like it, then they are free to leave the UK and find another country where they'll like it better. In this case, whether it's immigrants going 'back' or UK natives choosing to go to the country of their family's origin - then that should be their right and their choice.
But equally, since they have the right to live in the UK and chose to do so, then I suggest the sooner they start accepting that the UK is different to the country of their birth or heritage, the better.
As someone said; "When in Rome, do as the Romans" - that means finding out about the place and then aiming to adapt your own lifestyle to fit in - rather than demand any kind of accomodation.
And that applies to immigrants and their UK born offspring, equally. Whatever their race or creed.
