I agree with you on that last line, bringing race into the mix is a nice argument to avoid criticism, particularly because western societies are constantly worried about racism and racial persecutions since WWII; it is also easy for the common peasant to believe it is about race and not religion.
Personally, I like to criticize religion and never the believer as a person, creating a clear line between belief and race to avoid problems.
