Islam isn't a race, so only ignorant people would accuse you of being racist for such a comment.

Critics of Islam are not racist, just as critics of feminism are not necessarily sexist.

Ideas and people are not one and the same and should be able to be seen separately.

I believe that we should show love and respect to all people, but be free to criticise their ideas.

My point is I hear Obama and world leaders talk like parrots that 'Islam is peace'

 

No it is not.

 

No religion with extremist elements is peaceful. 

 

I am not saying hate on Muslims either, just  I dislike the talking point as its pointless nonsense. 

I agree. It is not a religion of peace.

But it seems to me people have trouble separating a belief system from the people who believe it so I reinforce this point every chance I get.
