What can be dangerous is portaying yourself as an anti-religious socialist, where anti-religion and racism is synonomous with each other, and rightly so. My only belief is that of Karl Marx where "religion is the opeum of the people".
The majority of Muslims in the world are non-white people. Most people in this world are not white. This doesn't mean criticism of Islam is racism. Islam is not a race.
Blaming all Muslims for terrorism is not racism, it is anti-religious. Muslims are Arabs, Kurds, Urdus, Hindis, Tamils, Turks, Turkmenis, Azerbajainis, Russians, Spaniards, Albanians, Greeks, Afghans, Persians, Uzbekis and Malays.
It's not anti-religious the vast majority of muslims do not support or engage in terrorism, holding all muslims responsible is attacking a minority religion in Britain. If you want to be anti religious attack the dominant form of religion in Britian - christianity in whose name millions of people have been slaughtered.
Police conducting "anti-terrorist" stop and searches don't just stop muslims, they stop people who they think "look like muslims". Young asian men, sikhs and hindus, afro carribean people, anybody who may not "come from here"? leaving out the main ethnic group.
I sometimes have to delete comments off my videos that are clearly racist, are posted by BNP members and where the word "islam" or "muslim" is used instead of the word black, asian etc. It's hidden as an attack on religion when really it's an attack on the "non-whites".
white, you have a very courageous lady, called Cindy Sheehan, standing up for truth and justice in America. I admire her work and her courage, and you have every reason to be proud!

Actually the full quote is [roughly] "Religion is the heart in a heartless world, the sigh of the oppressed, the opium of the people".

But it is linked to their religious beliefs, not their ethnicity.
Also, is John Rees a Muslim? And are there loads of Muslims in the SWP and RESPECT?

We need an American fighter like Mr. Rees. I greatly admire this man for standing up for truth and justice.
