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.

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.

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.
