Best Answer

Islam is a RELIGION; it is not a race. Like all other religions, Islam has a series of supernatural beliefs about the world, divinities who should be worshiped, particular rituals for doing this, and a moral philosophy. Additionally, Islam is not a race since the devotees (Muslims) come from many races, particularly from the the South Asian, Arab, Austronesian, African, and White races. However, since most Muslims are not White, many people lazily consider Islam a race in order to say that discrimination against Muslims or hatred of Islam is racist. This is in incorrect. Discrimination against Muslims is Religious Discrimination and hatred of Islam is no different than hatred of any other idea; simply an annoyance.
