He has worked with some people in Quilliam before, so one should understand that they are going to be biased. He tried to distance himself from his past rightwing group, because it tilted towards racism while he was in prison. Sometimes he makes decent points, but it is often overshadowed by his zealous nature, and penchant for being Islamophobic.

I think he can easily be described as a bigot, although not necessarily racist. He clearly has a great deal of contempt for many aspects of Islam, and he's not very great at compartmentalizing those beliefs, and dealing with people on an individual basis.
