Islam is not a biological race (though after 1350 years it probably is).
Sorry, dear, you are very correct and I can explain my strange mistake. :P Here, in my country, we use the adjective 'racist' only when happens discrimination against a race. When we talk about discrimination against creeds or origins, we use the adjective 'prejudiced'. In the last months, because of all the Trump news, I was finding a lot of texts in English using 'racist' to make reference to any kind of discrimination, against Muslims, Jews, Mexicans, LGBT, etc. It doesn't make much sense in Latin languages, but when I asked about it to a North American friend whether this use was correct, he said it was pretty usual to call 'racist' an anti-semitic person, for example. Until I know, prejudice against Jews is terribly stupid, but it is not racism. The same about prejudice against Muslims. It is not racism, but a horrible prejudice against a creed. Prejudice against someone's origins (Mexicans, for example) is not racism too. :P Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the lesson, my dear! Now I learned how to express correctly my revolt against prejudiced people, aww... Pretty sweet of you! <3 On Dec 22, 2016 3:59 PM, "grarpamp" <grarpamp@gmail.com> wrote:

Islam is not a biological race (though after 1350 years it probably is). As with all religions, what it *is* should make you laugh... in particular at the ridiculous ways in which they all are adopted, followed, hypocritized and twisted by their claimed believers, adherants, judges, proselytizers and executives, executioners and tax collectors, etc.
