Criticizing Islam is racist?

[abaris]

I'd also like to elaborate that even deeply religion influenced nations under Islam draw very different influences ex. Iran and Saudi Arabia.

I think I pointed that out previously here, in this very thread. But I gladly repeat it. Compared to the Saudis, Iran is a liberal paradise. Especially when it comes to women's rights. It also points to our own hypocrisy. The worse one is our very best friend. The better one is our enemy. Purely because they haven't played western ball in the last 30 years.

Also, Iran is Shia. The Saudis are a peculiar sect of Sunni. Wahhabism is considered to be abysmal by most of the muslim world too. They mostly look down on them, calling them uppity nomads coming in from the desert.

As for not eating pork. That's actually one religious rule still making sense in certain regions. There's a reason why jews as well as muslims have that rule. The experience of eating pork making you sick. In some of the less developed regions, it still would. But it also points to humans being behind the creation of the particular religion. They simply collected their ways of life and their experiences with nature there and attributed them to the respective gods.
