I really don't wanna research/run down the material, I just recall thinking upon reading this http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/did_trump-style_islamophobia_break_up_the_european_union_video_20160626 that some were exaggerating the role islamophobia had.

So, in response to your effort I guess the only thing I can do is ask a simple question -- would the vote result have differed with that element completely outta the equation.

If it would have differed, my "indisputable" claim stands.
