Just because something isn't about race doesn't mean it's not intolerance and prejudice. If you were intelligent, as you seem intent on trying to be, you'd realize that as soon as you start referring to entire cultures, groups, countries, and so on then you're probably not saying something worth adopting. Ie: "X is cruel" vs "that person is cruel". Individuals are, not entire groups.
Opposing prejudice and intolerance is sensible when the victims of that prejudice are innocent. Or when, as you pointed out, an entire race or group of people are being tarred by the actions of a few individuals.
However, when discrimination of women, Jews, gays and non-muslims is part and parcel of a religion's ideology and it's adherents, then it is justified to make generalizations about that group, since the vast majority of them adhere to these practices and beliefs.
Anyone who has some basic familiarity with Islam and with muslims would know such forms of discrimination are a mainstay in Islamic culture. So it would be a crime not to point out such things, or else they'll never end.
