Criticizing Islam is racist?

[abaris]

So while I think Islam is a vile religion, I think most muslims are basically decent people that wonna get by like the rest of us

I think, every religion taken by the letter and carried to it's extreme, is vile. As I often say, it's only a thin coat of society and laws that prevents christian and jewish radicals to act onn their violent impulses. And sometimes this coat breaks and the results are ugly. Always keep in mind, we're talking about failed or authoritarian states when we talk about the Middle East.
