Oh that's OK then. Its that fluffy, friendly, more focussed brand of bigotry.
I disagree anyway; if the man in the picture was white and cleanshaven, even if he had a massive sign above his head saying "I am a Muslim", people would not be having the same reaction to this "hilarious" photograph. Therefore, let's call it what it is: not islamophobia, but negative, destructive stereotyping
based on casual racism.
