The accusation of racism was ridiculous and demonstrated a complete misunderstanding of what was said. James was simply quoting what Lexuschap said, as I understand it. It was Lexuschap who introduced the Islamist elemt and if he shouted that down the phone, it can only have been to intimidate. It was completely out of context and makes you wonder even further about what he is like, and what his agenda is. It is likely that it was either a racist comment or an attempt at intimidation. In either event, I would be tempted to report it to the police, so that they can decide whether they should take a close look at him.
