Well, even though I hate Tami´s "christian" comments/generalisations, I see no racism in his comment and in fact what he says is true - racism and nazism are growing in popularity at an alarming rate in europe 
In addition, you may be offended at being called "Christian" as a country/state, but the fact is, whether or not you are personally religious, we ARE christian countries (you personally happen to live in a country extremely influenced by catholicism) and the people who feel so offended by being called so seem to have no hesitation in calling others "muslim countries"...
Hmmm...interesting thread. Roswitha does it again.. 
I do think it is interesting to look at this:
Angela Dorothea Merkel born Angela Dorothea Kasner, 17 July 1954) is the current Chancellor of Germany. Merkel, elected to the German Parliament from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, has been the chairwoman of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since 10 April 2000, and Chairwoman of the CDU-CSU parliamentary party group from 2002 to 2005. She leads a grand coalition with the Christian Social Union (CSU), its Bavarian sister party, and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), formed after the 2005 federal election on 22 November 2005.
I am not in any way indicating anything other than the fact that the term Christian figures prominantly, but could one imagine the furor that would ensue if the word Islamic were inserted where Christian now is?
