Islam is not a race, so the issues that I have with Muslims can't be racism.
Now let's address the definition of racism that PJ posts, and the word "inherent". Boiler doesn't believe that any groups faults are inherent, so that rules me out as a racist towards any group.
While I'm a Reds fan, I fully admit that they suck. A few of the players last year where outstanding, bringing to mind Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto. PJ, since Boiler believes that the as a group the Reds suck, does this make me a "Redsist", or I'm I simply stating the facts? The facts prove me correct, by the way.
Once we are forbidden to state the truth, we are in trouble.

racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
