As a society, I think we need to be very careful not to conflate the religious with the political whether through racist attitudes or through crass generalisation. Religion and belief may be a part of the individual’s identity but individuals and even groups are much more complex than that. If you target a group and discriminate against them, you force the creation of a political identity which stands outside of society. We need to concentrate on addressing issues of equality and justice in all sectors of society instead of pointing fingers accusingly and drawing lines in the sand. We need to work together instead of singling out a target group and casting blame.
