There are bad people of all different races/religions/nationalities/ideologies. Why focus so much on the Muslim?

Oh, so Muslims aren't enacting Sharia law on their own people in Britain?
Do some Muslims chose to regulate dealings between themselves via the tenets of sharia law? Yes.
Is this done under a legally binding framework? No.
The state cannot stop people making agreements between themselves under whatever terms they wish. The State does however make a point of stating that these agreements are not recognised as being legally binding in a court of law.

Depends entirely on context. The vast majority of crimes in the US and Europe are committed by people who are at least culturally Christian yet there religion is rarely if ever mentioned.
Not sure why you choose that post to quote since it is accurate.
Happy to use the term bigot if you prefer, however I am confident that the roots of many anti Muslim posts are based on good old fashioned racism rather than any well thought out criticism of religion.
Curious if being critical of islam is rooted in Racism in your opinion, does the same apply to being critical of other religions? or do you just assume anyone critical of a brown person is racist?

This is something we can agree on. I don't believe that Sharia Law should have a place in the UK. UK citizens should follow UK law.

Objectively speaking Islam is a religious ideology not a race. If someone wishes to argue a critique of Islam is racist then they need to show why using an objective rational argument on a case by case basis. Not just some simplistic idiotic PC based blanket statement. This is clearly a big issue and won't just magically go away. Is mass islamic immigration really compatible with non islamic countries?
As the islamic population of countries in europe increases in the coming decades will it get better or worse? These are serious questions which deserve serious objective rational debate.
