Is Islamophobia racism?

[Inactive]

Oh why don't you condem whites shootings or did your white masters forgot to tell you about that

White shootings? You don't see me condemn Somali gang shootings, or Asian shootings or Pakistan shootings. I am not going to focus on targeted crimes over drugs or personal grudges. That's ridiculous.

Islamophobia isn't racism to say so is bordering on the absurd.

So you're gonna focus on religion instead

Islam sucks anyways

 

[dhegdheer]

Its tricky and it wouldn't be far off to say that it's a racialised term imo. But then you have some ppl being wrongly labeled islamophobic simply for criticising Islam which is another issue all together

We need to start shaming whites who make bigoted comments about Islam in public.

Because of my non-Arabic name and appearance they often think I'm not Muslim and joke around about Islam at times. We need to make them walk on eggshells when it comes to Islam like how white people don't dare to comment about Blacks or Jews in public.

No fucking way they can drag Islam all the want tbh, it's a dangerous ideology

ISLAMOPHOIA IS RACIST WE ARE ONE UMMAH WE SHARE THE SAME PAIN AND SAME LOVE. ALL MUSLIMS ARE MY BROTHERS!!


SORRY FOR CAPS

Why is it that I have never been a victim of this so called Islamophobia? Not even a tease or joke was ever directed at me. I'm a Somali with a name many terrorists have. I never talk about religion in public either.



They look like the Taliban.

I don't agree with Islam but I've been targeted since the age of 12. Airports scare me, my first experience that I can remember of one was when I was stopped for wearing baggy clothing and I was wearing a tight dress. Women before and behind me were let go with baggy sweats. We all know this baggy clothing was code for "moslem wear". My mother was yelled at in the mall to go back to her country and to not be a terrorist. My sister was called a terrorist at work. On the school bus in middle school a wigger would call me a terrorist and say the henna on my hands were blood fingers from killing people. I have been glared at walking into restaurants due to my hijab. I don't like Islam but it is never fair to pin it down on Muslims who weren't taught any better than to live in violence. The main demographic oppressed by Islam is women. The women are forced to wear the hijabs, the women have to wear dresses, the women must dress like they just came out of huts. Not the men. Muslim men have oppressed women for centuries and although it's easy to say you never felt this prejudice it's likely because you don't have to wear a hijab or a dress or parade around in terrorist gear.

No because Islam is not a racial identity, it is a religious one. However I do want to mention how it is Ironic that whenever a brown guy does something who happens to be Muslim, is identified as Muslim first before their race.

Here in England, in Rochester there was a pedophile ring bust that involved several Asian men, they were identified in the media as Muslims before being called Asians, so because of this psychological manipulation of words people treat Muslims as if they are a race, and consequently Muslims defend themselves as if they are.

It can be for ex. post 9/11 alot of people who looked Muslim but we're not were attacked such as Hindu's and Sikhs.

i thought you said you were routinely confused for an arab

Islamophobia is a cover for racism, no doubt about that. Yes of course, Islam is not a religion and that Muslims can be of any race, but it's much more than that. The bulk of Muslims in the world are from three parts of the world: Africa, The Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Those people make up at least 80% of Muslims, with the other 20% being orientals (East Asians) and white people (Chechns, Bosnians, Albanians, and converts).

So people who hate Arabs, blacks or the three nationalities of the Indian subcontinent, replace the race or ethnicity with the Muslim tag. And whenever they're caught out on their racism, they say, "but Islam is a religion not a race" and thus they have their prejudice covered.

So true

i thought you said you were routinely confused for an arab

Never by non-MENAs. It's only MENAs who at times think Somalis and consequently I speak Arabic.

 

[Cognitivedissonance]

If Jews have Anti semitism then why can't Muslims have islamophobia

If you have a problem with Islam then you are a racist bigoted islamophobe nacaala iyo waxa tihiin ba waase

Using an analogy: if racism was a diagnosable disease then Islamophobic tendencies would be one of its strongest ascertainable variables scientists would use. Caveat: obviously, only applies to the West.

AbdiJohnson, you are in bed with the Nazis.

You're a dumbass. You clearly don't understand the difference between racism and prejudice.

Idiot, Mohamud was joking and referring to the fact that I find it annoying that people from Arab League countries often assume Somalis speak Arabic like the Sudanese do. I never ever claimed anywhere on this forum that I look like an Arab, in fact I despise Arabs just as much as Bantus, but obviously they aren't as much of a demographic threat.

You don't understand nuances, you are the dumbass.
