It's because they can't debate, they have to smear and demonise you.
I mean, have you ever heard anyone mount a credible argument that Islam is a religion of peace? No, because the Muslims with the most credible interpretation of Islam are Osama bin Laden and Boko Haram. Moderate Muslims, and their liberal apologists, have no credible case that Islam is peaceful. Hence they have to shut you up.
It's rare that someone will actually listen to rational criticism of Islam. So, by all means try to educate people about the true nature of Islam, but understand that 99% of the time you're going to get called racist. It comes with the territory. You get used to it.
