I don't think that this is racist to criticise Islam because this is not a race.
You can find them in the Arabian peninsula (Irak , Saudi Arabia , Qatar etc...) , Indonesia (first Muslim country in the word) , Russia (Chechenya , Dagestan , Tatarstan etc...).
Conclusion : Muslims have different skin color. Therefore this is not racist to criticise this religion.
In my country (France) there are a Muslim minority (Islam is the second religion after Christianity but they practice more theirs religions than Christians).
If you dare criticise the behavior of Muslims or the religion itself many people will say you that you're racist. If you dare say some truth like than the majority of people who commit crimes in France are Muslims you risk to have problems.
These people are the most wanted by French Authorities (a website owned by "Ministère de l'intérieur" or Interior Ministry in English language) : http://www.avisderecherches.interieur.go...s1.asp?T=R
Now , tell me what do you think after that you see the website.
For those who want to know how use this website. I can translate the French term used.
If you dare say me that I'm racist I precise that I know some Maghrebin who apostated of Islam and they are occidentalised. I know many cocktail Muslims (the majority of them are from West Africa. For cultural reasons this is more difficult to find cocktail Muslims in the Maghrebin community) who adopted Western values. This is not a problem of race nor nationality. This is a problem of religion.
