In reply to the discussion: Dear Liberals: Being Critical of Islam Is Not Racism [View all]LittleBlue
(10,362 posts)I'll admit that the vast majority of Muslims are brown or dark skinned. So let me concede the point right away that 99% of Muslims aren't light skinned. For the sake of this argument, let's call Muslims a nonwhite race.
You can either believe they're being singled out for their skin color or their practices. If you believe it's skin color, then why aren't Hindus also being singled out? Why aren't Buddhists? Why aren't Shintoists? 99% of those religions are comprised of nonwhite followers, a higher percentage than even Islam.
So why aren't those religions and cultures being singled out for what you believe is "racism"? Because they don't engage in insane religious practices like stoning women, executing gays, etc.
The criticism is mostly because of their practices, not their particular religion or skin color.
