That means you hate all Muslims.
Muslims are not a race. And I don't hate any Muslims. Where have you gotten any of that?
Now you're getting into the semantics of the words when you realize you've backed yourself into a corner.
You are aware that people are Racist and hate Muslims. Yes? And granted participating in the Muslim religion doesn't make you a type of person.
This does still mean that you are a racist.
What means I'm a racist? There is something fundamentally missing here. You think I'm a racist while not hating any group: race or otherwise?
You agree that the war after 911 was acceptable, yet that was was specifically and blatantly targeting Muslims.
I never agreed to that. I said that people who supported it were racists. I've never agreed with any war that the US has engaged in since 1960.

I'm using racism in the only valid way, meaning race. You can't just make up a new definition. That's totally a different thing.
Racism as a sole word would be to hate a specific ethnicity. But it has evolved to include hating any group or culture.
FFS. Is this really difficult to understand?
-
And I know that you will completely twist that, but it does not imply that I agree with all wars prior to 1960. But I know you are planning to go there.

No, it hasn't. You are simply confused.
-
But regardless, you think that I have a religious hatred of a group. But have said no reason why you believe this to be true.

You're insane if you think the definition of racism hasn't changed to include hating groups of people based on religion alone.
Absolutely insane.

An interesting aside..... calling something like Muslim or Judaism racism is, itself, kind of racist. By projecting racial characteristics onto a religious group. Not all practitioners of either religion are one race.
The term for what you want is often just called "religious intolerance." But as religion is voluntary and race is not, they are unrelated concepts.

Well I provided the dictionary definition. So the dictionary is insane.
You are desperately on a tangent and avoiding providing the proof that I hate Muslims.

Weird that this isn't under racism, right?

Yes, religious intolerance is the exact term, and racism is included with it. The crusades were both religiously intolerant and racist at the same time.

It is not. They are totally different concepts, as I explained why. You can't lump involuntary groups with voluntary societies. SO different, obviously. Would be insane to even suggest otherwise.
-
So stop avoiding the point. WHY do you feel that I am anti-Muslim?
-
Which, I have to say, is really weird to call me of all people, because as a deist I see all of that religious group as one Christians, Muslims, Judaism... it's all one group.

You said you condoned the war on terrorism. Which is known to be a war against Muslims of the middle east.
By condoning a war against an entire race of people (middle east) based on your religious intolerance, you are not only racist but also religious intolerant.

I get that. I don't disagree. But where did I condone it?
-
I just read everything that I wrote to look for something that I mistyped. And there is clearly nothing you could possibly construe as having supported the war, being angry with any racial group or religious group. So no clue where you made that up, but not even a typing mistake made that a possibility.
-
Unless you are trying to claim that simply because of my racial or national membership that I must be a racist because you see all Americans as racist and therefore I'm racist by birth. That's the only thing I can guess you mean?
Which makes no sense, to say that millions of American Muslims are anti-Muslim and therefore auto-racists against themselves?
-
Anything? These are big claims to make but providing no suggestion of why you feel this to be the case. What have I ever said to suggest in the slightest way that I was not completely anti-war in this context?
