Tasteless Jokes

True enough. Except that 'muslim' is generally used as a shorthand to describe people of a particular ethnicity.

It's the same argument used by the British National Party to protect themselves when they say things like 'muslims are like cockroaches infesting our country, and what do we do with cockroaches ?'

Obviously had they said 'Pakistanis are like cockroaches infesting our country and what do we do with cockroaches?' they'd fall foul of our racehate laws.
