Islam is a religion, not a race or ethnicity. Anyone can become Muslim. Anyone can cease to be Muslim (unless of course they live in a country where the penalty for non-belief is death). I am anti-Islam. It is a religion of violence. I do not hate everyone who believes in Islam.
I'm also anti Evangelical Christianity. It is a religion of willful ignorance and sexual repression. Does that make me Evangelicaphobic?
Antisemitism as I understand it is not just anti-Jewish religious practice, but anti-persons of Jewish ethnicity whether they are atheists or have converted to another religion. Should I start to hate all people who have a Muslim background regardless of whether they are a practicing or believing Muslim, that would be antiislamic in the sense that people mean antisemetic.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
