Any word for group of individuals who have the same belief system? |
I don't think so, but religions/philosophies that end with -ist, -ian, or an entirely different word altogether are defined as people practicing/following said religions/philosophies.
Examples:
Confuscianism -> Confuscianist
Christianity -> Christian
Taoism -> Taoist
Marxism -> Marxist
Judaism -> Jew
Buddhism -> Buddhist
Hinduism -> Hindu
Sikhism -> Sikh
Race has more to do with categorization of humans based on physical (and sometimes genetic) characteristics that are common in one group, but not the other. The biological defintion of a race (also known as subspecies) is a genetically distinct population of interbreeding individuals within a species. This cannot be applied to Muslims because the definition of what a Muslim is is not based on genetic distinction or distinct phenotypes.

Exactly. Most Muslims are Caucasian, and in fact are considered white legally in the US (well Middle Easterns). You can be middle eastern and Christan, or an irishman and muslim.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

to be fair, apologists don't defend the extremists. They want to show a better image of islam but assholes like you go ahead and say things like, 'omg this isn't real islam'. Then you go ahead and criticize 'real islam' and whine about how the Islamic community needs to change.
Grow the fuck up and stop flip flopping. Perhaps if we stopped bashing everything apologists say, we'd have the Islamic community significantly improve by now.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

While it isn't racist to be rude to an entire group of a religion, it's a dick thing to do.

This will shut up a lot of people.
Now we can stop bashing everyone and just see what is actually happening.

I hope they catch the perpetrators soon. I really wanna know if they are Islamic or just Neo-Nazis.
