just thought i'd point out to some folks that Muslims are followers of Islam. Islam is a religion. Islam is not a race. There are white, brown, black, red and yellow Muslims. Again it is not a race.
So when you say someone is racist against Muslims or Islam then you look pretty silly because it is not a race its a religion or someone who follows that religion. Someone may be prejudice against Islam or Muslims but thats it and no other label is needed. Racists are people who are prejudiced against other people simply because of their race regardless of their religious beliefs.
for example:
Joe says, "I sure hate people who drive Chryslers."
Bob responds, "You fucking racist!"
in this example we see that Bob is mistaken. So, I'm not going to point out the particular posters who made this mistake, but I thought i'd just go ahead and educate you. you're welcome.
now that we've cleared that up, please continue the debate.....
