Be sure to follow all my replies before you reply to me. What you quoted had nothing to do with the origianl post, as I explained - i was making sure there is a differance between colour of skin and religion.
Oh give me a break and get off your high horse. I don't give a damn what your degree is in.
Go back to the first page and you'll see that I followed all of your replies and read everything you typed. Reread the entire thread. You'll see. That wasn't the first time I quoted you. It was just the first time you responded.
I know that you know the difference btwn the two, but when you were trying to explain it you were using the words ideology and religion when everyone else was talking about the followers of these. Go back and look. I wasn't trying to disagree with you, I was trying to explain why everyone was disagreeing with you.
By the way, way back at the beginning, you said it wasn't racism. And then I quoted the definition of racist which clearly states that it deals with race and religion.

It can´t be racist because "Muslim" isn´t a race but a religion. All sorts of people are Muslims, whites as well.Is there a word for "Anti Muslim" like Anti semetic is for people who dislike Jews?
Not suprising that people are becoming less tolerant towards Muslims. At the moment thier extremists the only ones which participate in terrorist acts, and they don´t care who they kill even fellow muslims.
racistadj 1: based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks" 2: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion

Hating a certain religion or all other religions apart from yours own needs another word.
Why do we need another word for it, at its core it's all discrimination, why clutter our minds with six different words? Racism as a general expression of discrminination is fine as it is.
Originally posted by WindDancerI follow what you're saying but you keep throwing the word "ideology" in your examples and in your comments. That word is too broad for the discussion. Basically ideology is a collection of thoughts and ideas. If you're referring to ideology in a ideal moral order than you're indeed touching on ethnecities. Ideology also includes political association and since you're mention the Nazi's and the Jews then we have a clash of ideologies in both religion and politics. Do you really want to get into that?

Yes, religion is.
Islam = religion.
Muslim = follower of Islam.
A Muslim is a person.

I think it's the fear of Muslims because of 9-11.And to be fair, while not EVERY Muslim is a hate monger, there are probably some who support the silent majority or minority who believe things like 9-11 and the London railway stuff are right and just. And since Islamic public condemnation of these acts has been very little and nothing more than verbal condemnation, it perhaps makes people believe that they're "all the same" just as, to be fair, some Muslimpeople think about America and the pro-Western world. As far as racism and bigotry, people need to be reminded that it IS a 2 way street.
actually, there's been quite a lot of condemnation and action from the Muslim community all over the world. There's just no coverage of it becuase it is not the administratios goal to show this. In fact, recent evidence and developements all points to the fact that Bush and the PNAC are ENCOURAGING TERRORISM and trying to sabotage CIA efforts to hunt stop terrorist plots in the first place. wether it be by exposing valerie plame and her entire covert operation group (apparantly they'd discovered some interesting ties between the saudis, washington, and al qaida), putting an idiot like john bolton in charge of forging an agreement with russia to control their nuclear arsenal, or keeping a dick like George Tennet in charge of the CIA who spends half the terrorism budget investigating all Jewish CIA agents cause he's paranoid about Israeli spies.

Have you evidence of Tennets spending?
what I find funny about some people is the lack of knowledge they have. All of these Christian morons who blame Islam for the actions of a few idiotic terrorists seem to be unaware of the fact that it was Christians who enslaved and beat to death black men.........it was Christians who committed the native American holocaust........yet they preach, love thy brother. If they are to paint all Muslims with the same brush as Muslim extremist terrorists...........shouldn't they themselves be painted with the same brush as those christians who raped, enslaved and murdered their brothers simply because the color of their skin was different?

i said the same thing (but in a more polite way) to my 9th grade Christian Scriptures teacher. she said it was suppose to be done, or some stupid ass bullshit like that.
im still christian, but some take it to the extreme.
