Islamophobia is not technically racism because Islam is a religion, not a race. However, it involves prejudice and discrimination against Muslims based on their religious beliefs. So, while it's not racism in the traditional sense, it's still a form of bigotry that deserves to be called out and challenged.

Would islamophobia be counted as being racist?

Although I'm sure many Muslims would take offense to it, I don't believe it is racist. My reasoning behind it is that any phobia is a mental disorder, some minor, some severe, either way it is uncontrolable for the person posessing it. (This is with the assumption they actually do have it, and are not using it as an excuse to be insulting).
