A Simple Rule

[abaris]

Or maybe I understand the basic concept that Islam is not a race.

Potential for indoctrination from birth does not turn an idea into a race.

I'd like to reach an agreement on this point before we go any further.

Yeah, how about bigotry?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigotry

Bigotry is a state of mind where a person strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc.[1] Some examples include personal beliefs, race, religion, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other group characteristics.

That's what we're talking about. Taking a bunch of people following a certain common denominator and to throw them all into the same pot.

From that point of view, I invite you again to review your arguments by inserting "jew" instead of "muslim" or "Islam". I also invite you to review certain comments by public figures.
