Criticizing Islam is racist?

RE: Criticizing Islam is racist?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS_conspiracy_theories
Quote:The Nation of Islam endorses the view that governments and pharmaceutical companies have pursued genocidal racist policies including the creation and spread of HIV.
Consequently, the group called for a boycott of U.S.-sponsored vaccination programs for children. Leonard Horowitz has been cited as influential in the NoI boycott decision.

Abuse of human rights is where this originates. They have even formed a phrase known as 'Islamophobia' - using it to only prevent people from questioning them.

To me this is patently absurd and small minded as I can name at least three different races off the top of my head that are commonly Muslim ( East Indian, Persian, Arabian). So where does this idea of critizing Islam being racist even come from? Its like being called racist against Hispanic people because I criticized Catholicism. So where did this idea come from, let alone gain ground?
Oh this is a classic! Happened to a friend of mine just a couple of months ago.

So, by all means try to educate people about the true nature of Islam

What is the reasoning behind this?

I think religion is okay as long as believers don't disrupt the mechanisms that allow progress. This can be a matter of certainty in the belief rather than the nature of the belief.

One of the issues with what you say is that Islam is not only a religion but a political system as well.
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.

Not racist at all. It's a defence mechanism some within the religion use to try to shut up critics.
Dying to live, living to die.

No it's not racist. But Christians shouldn't be trash talking Islam when Christianity has had their fair share of violence and killing off innocent lives in the name of a political/religious agenda

Islam isn't a race.

This is just another tactic they use to silence criticism of their religion.
Dying to live, living to die.

I wonder how that is working out?
