The above statement you're responding to is clearly a statement that islam itself is horrible, and muslims suffer for it. This is not a racist statement for obvious reasons. Anyone's opinion on the system of islam, no matter how horrible or even disgusting they find it, does not constitute a racist opinion, obviously. Claiming that islam itself is the main reason for the current state of muslim countries is merely stating the obvious, and is no more racist a statement than that communism seems to have failed. As somebody who's studied law, let me just say that I fully agree that islam is a horrible system. Islam itself, imho, also fits any reasonable definition of racism due to (amongst other things) the laws that openly discriminate based on skin color, religion, and sex. And it's a law system that was rightfully considered archaic in the dark ages, when it was created. It is stupid for giving power of life and death to people who are loosely specified and giving blanket reasons for "the state" to kill people (google "3 reasons to kill a muslim", "dhimma", "women testify islam" for a basic introduction to these issues). Aside from that, the central figure of islam, the "prophet" is a paedophile, a thief, a mass-murderer, a rapist, a slave-trader, someone who kidnapped innocents into slavery, torturer, and plenty worse. That's the figure islamic "holy" texts describe.
