There’s almost never a point arguing with either a devout liberal or Muslim because no matter what you say, no matter how sound your logic is, no matter how much your argument actually makes sense, it will go unheard because it disagrees with whatever the already-fabricated answer is. You could say the moon is made of stone and if they were told that the moon is made from cheese, they will be offended that you even suggest otherwise and will even go to their death defending it is made of cheese.
For years we were told that Islam is not a race. Muslims will tell you that Islam is not a race. Anybody of any race can be a Muslim. Therefore, logic would dictate that if a person doesn’t like Islam, he is not necessarily a racist. For most people, they don’t like Islam because it has a 1400 year long history of promoting, justifying, and supporting very anti-social behavior as a means of achieving earthly and heavenly beatitude. Normal people don’t find mass murder, rape, beheadings, and robbery a means to achieving spiritual enlightenment, unlike Mohammed and his companions.
Normal people don’t do things like this..
…or this.
Or carry signs like this in public.
In spite of this fact, according to the Arab American News, Islam has nothing to do with race, but you are now racist if you are “Islamophobic” (which means you do not like the above mentioned anti-social) behavior. However, this totally ignores the fact of her own racist attitudes towards “white people” Via the Arab American News:
Anti-Muslim bigots often try to escape accusations of racism by proclaiming that Islam is not a race.
Vilifying, marginalizing or hating others because of their gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or skin color is not acceptable. But beyond bigotry, current anti-Muslim sentiments are racist.
Racism is racial prejudice powered by actions and institutional structures.
All elements that define racism are prevalent in the recent anti-Muslim wave of xenophobia.
The Islamophobia industry is not attacking Muslim theology, but Muslim people. It is not a movement based on ideas countering ideas. It is an extremist cult with communities of color in the crosshairs of its hatred.

“Go back home” are words that anti-Muslim social media users frequently direct towards Muslims. This statement has nothing to do with religion. Rather, it conveys hostility toward immigrants and channels a nativist, racist notion that the United States cannot be home to “non-Whites.”
Powerless bigots’ attitudes do not constitute racism. Islamophobia is not mere dislike of those suspected to be Muslim because of their race; this xenophobia is accompanied with tangible crimes and political influence at the local and national levels.
Anti-Muslim sentiments are being promoted and perpetuated by organizations, pundits and politicians who are mostly White. Those are powerful players pursuing policies that victimize people based on their race.
On the institutional side, mayors, county executives and governors who spoke against the resettlement of Syrian refugees focused on the national origins of those fleeing the war.
No, I don’t want to live with people like the above. I like heads and limbs attached to bodies and not mutilated, being able to think and believe as I please, and being able to agree to disagree with people of different backgrounds without having to resort to violence to convey my point.
