bigoted, maybe. but the word "racist" simply doesn't apply as that implies that Muslim/Islam are races. that line of thinking could also be used to counter people who oppose, say.........Christianity (since it too is not a race, but an ideology). |

When bigots decry Islam, it's generally shorthand for the Middle East as a whole, so it's easy to make that connection. But fine, it's not racist so we'll just call it ****ty now.

So when they "decry islam" they are really decrying the Middle East which means they are really decrying Christians, Jews, Yazidhis, Buddhists, and Zoroatrians because they are part of the "Middle East as a whole" too.
