I’d even argue it’s the natural state as not all Muslims practice Islam the same—my parents, for example, are Muslim but aren’t practicing.

To argue “you cannot separate Islam from the Muslim” does a great disservice as you imply there’s a single interpretation all must adhere to

Why dont you tell the families of Sikhs killed by Islamophobes not to worry because Islam isn't a race? Or the Iranian artists denied visas?

That there are racists in the world doesn’t invalidate the fact that religions are simply a set of ideas.

As a rational, progressive person, I really wish the world was the nice logical place you believe it is.

It’s not today. It could be one day. To quote Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
