Did you realize that you wrote a whole paragraph of something I already know?
Islam is a faith, not a race. When I offend Islam (I do that often, as an Ex-Muslim), I try to do it without discriminating people of that people. It doesn't make anyone racist or bad for criticizing someone's faith or ideology. Blasphemy=\=race. But discrimination=discrimination.
