"Asian" is code for Middle Eastern

Sorry, but it isn't. Here in Britain, Asian is the conventional term, in use for many decades (long preceding PC, by the way) for anybody deriving from the Indian sub-continent, not the Middle East. It's not indicative of religion - it includes Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and those of any religion or none, as well as Moslems.

The trio - named locally as Shazad Hussain, Haroon Hussain and Musaver Ali; the source is the dailymail uk. My question is, who is leaving a mosque at 1 AM?

Sorry you guys have to keep explaining it, but FreeRepublic is a big forum out here and we’re so attuned to PC that we think we’re getting it again, even when that’s not the case.
