You cannot be racist towards a religion, but given how Islam has been racialized and discriminated and rallied against based on said racialization, you can’t ignore that context when criticizing the religion. #IslamophobiaYa’ll
Yeah, but restricting the term Muslim or Islam to just one race is, in my views, a bit problematic. You have Arabs, people of African descent, Asians, White people (like Brother Ali) who are Muslims so to link the term to one race is just dildos IMO.
Evidence that the word choice section of my brain is shutting down after liberal consumption of nicotine, alcohol, and sleep deprivation.

I don’t think they’re advocating making Islam/muslim synonymous with Arab, just pointing out that is a connection many uninformed people make. So when they criticize Islam it’s a backhanded way of saying “I’m terrified of scary Arabs.”
