Is it racism or "Islamaphobia"?

Islamophobia blamed for attack

A Muslim man has been beaten to death outside a corner shop by a gang of youths who shouted anti-Islamic abuse at him, the Guardian has learned.

Nottinghamshire police described the incident as racially aggravated, not as Islamophobic, angering Muslim groups and surprising some senior officers.


Racists in Britiain have a long history of abusing "Pakis" which as nothing to do with Islam. I guess the anti-racism people and the anti-Islamophobia people are going to have to fight it out amongst themselves for who gets to be the voice of the victims going forward.
