It isn't racist AT ALL. There are Muslims of ALL races. Islam itself is NOT a race, it's a hateful religion which wants to subject all non-Muslims (the very word "Islam" means submission and NOT peace as some say). I know most Muslims are good people (I know many), but does that make the belief system ITSELF automatically OK? Absolutely not. Good folks can be enticed by evil things too.
BTW, you are PERFECTLY normal. Don't worry about it.
I agree that the OP isn't racist, but I see how this might sound racist. There are Muslims of all races, but Islamophobia is still very much tied in with racism.
Yes, it is tied in with racism. Still, there is a huge difference. A person cannot choose their race, but a person CAN choose to be a Muslim or not. Personally, I despise racism, but I fully embrace hatred of Islam (NOT necessarily Muslims themselves though). Islam is actually a bit akin to Nazism: they are both supremacist and antisemitic.
They both think that they're an elitest group who is better then everyone else. I'm not a racist either, but I completely agree with the OP and this string of comments.
IIN to feel this way when talkign to someone wearing a niqab/burqa?
