Yes, this is true. I find the word islamophobia problematic and I do have issues with the conservative patriarchal system and misogyny of islam. Yet I’m not anti-muslim.
It has to be repeated that Islam is
1- A set of beliefs, with no skin tone.
2- A religion with rituals,holy books and morality, with no feelings.
Therefore, to criticize it is not racist.
It has to be repeated that Muslims are
1- from all countries.
2- believers in the religion of islam.
Therefore, Muslim and Muslim-ness are not ethnic terms.
It has to be repeated that if you use insults against an ethnicity who are believers……then that is racist and bigotry. I
This is why anti-muslim bigotry(Muslimophobia) is the more accurate term.
