According to Oxford dictionary: Racism, noun
Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

So, if I have ideas that aren't racist, but because others think that me having them means I am racist for having them or that they must mean I also have racist views, that would make me racist?
Wouldn't it just make those other people wrong?
Yes but in case of politics this seems it seems always that way. Like to take on example, religious fundamentalism i am against, not against religion per se though. But its also a case that people who are against jihadism can also be pretty bigoted like "sandnigger" to mention a few which is racist to say, which is different to be against people who think killing people in the name of something is immorale and has bad circle of hatred that one shouldn't pass on. Not to mention nationalists who think that its not ideas that matters but your race which i dont share or believe in, i believe purely in passing on better ideas, not what your ethnicity is. But you are often put into that category if you were to raise an eyebrow on those bad ideas. And that is usually the problem.

Being against Jihadism isn't racist.
Calling people from arabic countries sandniggers is racist.
Calling people from arabic countries sandniggers being racist doesn't make a stance against Jihadism racist.
People who are against Jihadism and go on to call people from arabic countries sandniggers are being racist, but not because of the anti-Jihadism bit.
This is basic stuff.

Just because some would concider you racist for that, doesn't mean you need to think you are a racist.
Fuck those people.

One massive problem is genital mutilation has nothing to do with race .

I think Roberto might have left a while back, not positive about that though.
