It's not that it's non-PC, it's that it's fatuous.
This is exactly why I used the word "bigot" upthread, and said as much ... but perhaps you missed that post?
She is right Muslim is a religion, not a race. But seems to keep missing the point You can stop being a Muslim, Ayaan Hirsi Ali did. You can stop being a Hindu and you can stop being a Jew. It is as simple as not buying the stories of society or your parents. You can leave India with darker skin migrate to America, have a kid an raise them Christian. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has parents from India yet as far as I know she is Christian.
I'd agree with her but again my point still would be "so what" no, Muslim is not a race, but religion does cause racism.
