Criticizing Islam is racist?

RE: Criticizing Islam is racist?
The iSlamic clergy (high ranking idiots) are uneducated and opportunistic (pretty much sums up iSlam) ergo they will scream racism because it gets $$ flowing their way. No other reason.

You can hold enlightened societies hostage as well by invoking the race card.

(In the UK at least) no high profile politician wants to be associated with racism. Not even an accusation of it, even if that accusation is ludicrous and unfounded.

Indeed, presuming that Islam = Brown people/arabs is itself sort of racist.

Agreed. There easily over a billion people from brown skinned races that are not Muslims. You know, like that small island called South America.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

RE: Criticizing Islam is racist?
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.

I can read most of the site, with the aid of of a few translations. Its amazing how french can come back to me after 10 years.

Holy shit muslims out number everyone else by like 10:1

RE: Criticizing Islam is racist?
Anything that will deflect the truth about Islam is justified according to Muslims.

I just heard an interesting conversation on talkradio.

The caller said his college teacher on Middle Eastern studies was saying, there is no emphasis or thought about Truth in those countries.
It is a concept that does not exist.

What does exist is the most honored people are those who are able to pull the wool over the eyes of infidels- the greatest liars are the greatest Muslims.

A Muslim fighter- Saladin made a treaty, only to break it when he was strong enough to overcome the foe.
He was following the Koran which bans agreements with infidels.
So, anything is Kosher for Islam ( the term means-submission).
Upside down is right / wrong is right.
Welcome to Allah.
