Asian is code for Muslim in GB, isn’t it?

[laconic]

As I understand it, the Brits of Indian descent living in Britian have demanded that they no longer be included in the category of “Asian” as they don’t like being lumped with the Pakistanis, who have reportedly been far less successful in the UK and ahose communities are the source of much of the home-grown terrorists in the UK.

Good point.

In this case it is yes.
And its an insult to every Hindu, Buddhist or Christian Asian that they’re lumped in with this kind of crap by this PC language.
We of course don’t “know” these guys are Muslim, but I do wish the BBC etc would at least mention that its a strong likelihood.
Like 99.99%

From what I have read it appears to apply to anyone from South Asia, which in England usually means Pakistan or India.

Not so, a large percentage of Asians in the UK are Seikh or Hindu. Asian doesn't translate directly to Muslim there
