There's a famous quote by Gaetano Salvemini about Catholics that it's even more on point: "They demand their (religious) freedoms based on our (secular) principles, while denying our (secular) freedoms based on their (religious) principles".
Another great article by the great Christopher Hitchens re #Islam.
@MaajidNawaz talks about how, as an Islamist, he took advantage of this hyper-aversion to being perceived as racist. @Ayaan talks about it in her book. @SalmanRushdie alludes to it below.

There is an important difference that needs to be addressed, not all critics of Islam are racists,but all racists are critics of Islam. Hitch was right about Islamists, but he was a supporter of the Iraq war, which created more Islamists by removing a non Islamist.

Racism is always based on absolutes and generalisations, and they are generally the province of the idiot. I watch a lot of Jews for Judaism, and they destroy Christianity using scripture (ironically u can use scripture to destroy Judaism).This is not racism. Same 4 all faiths.
