Making fun of religion isn't a sign of racism. Really, I poke fun at religion all the time. I don't hate the religions in question, nor do I hate their followers. I simply wouldn't want to be one of those followers.
Specifically on the topic of Islam: the Qur'an is the Qur'an, and I'm sure it's filled with wisdom, just like every holy book, and promotes peace and equality and love and brotherhood and science etc. etc.
But the thing is, a religion isn't judged based on any theoretical perfect practice. Like any sort of ideology, it is judged based on the actual practice of the religion by its followers. Look to Communism for a fantastic example - a beautiful system based on equality was ripped to pieces by the Soviet Union, and now everyone despises the concept - more due to human nature than anything else.
There are over a billion Muslims in the world, but nobody ever encounters or hears about any of the good ones who live normal, tolerant lives - which is to say, some 99% of them.
Who do we hear about? Al-Qaeda with its terrorist attacks. The Taliban with its oppression of women. The Iranian government with all of its bullshit about destroying Israel for being an infidel usurper state. These are the people who have grown to represent Islam, because of their power and influence in the world. When the stereotypical Muslims of the world happen to be among the most hated motherfuckers in the world, what do you expect people to think?
It's not the fault of the people. It's the fault of Ahmadenijad and Bin Laden, and all of the others who bring disgrace to the Islamic religion. Oh, and it's also the fault of the people who try to claim that either of the two disgusting excuses for humans whom I just mentioned are somehow morally right.
