Islam isn't a race. If you criticize Christianity, or Hinduism, or Buddhism, or yes, even Islamism, you aren't being racist.

- skinnymuch 6y agoThe poster meant bigoted. This is pedantic.
- maccard 6y agoI did. Thank you.
- skinnymuch 6y agoHah people correcting racism on a technicality but not at all addressing the bigotry issue is a personal pet peeve of mine. Anti intellectual in my humble opinion
- rayiner 6y agoThis is mostly true but the three religions you mention aren’t parallel in this respect. Apostasy in Islam is (typically) defined as someone who leaves Islam after being born into a Muslim family or previously accepting Islam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam. So it’s not a race or ethnicity, but in a theological and practical sense people are “born Muslim.” Put differently, separation of ethnic group, language, and religion are less well-defined in many parts of the world than it is among people of European descent.
