When William is available to post again, if he chooses to respond, he will say that "racist" is an entirely inappropriate charge, since Islam is not an ethnicity but a religion.

Nope, won't wash. See my earlier comment. The term "sheet head" is a reference to Arabs, not Muslims.

There's one telling point no one has yet to mention. The term "sheet head" is clearly a reference to Arab headdress - aqul and guthra. First, not all Muslims wear such headdress (and it's certainly not common in Turkey). Second, not all Arabs who wear aqul and guthra are Muslim.
