Point of Fact:
Islam is a religion.
Arabic is an ethnicity.
Semetic is a race.
At no point have I made a statement about "Semetic"
peoples because there are very few statements that
apply to even a majority of them.
I have made impolite statements about Arabs in
general. There's a lot to say on that subject--with
the caveat that I have met more than a few who are
Antiochian Orthodox Christians who are good people who
I like.
However, a statement about Islam and it's warping
effects on it's followers is not racist. There are
Muslims of every racial category. To include John
Walker, who is (near as I can tell) another Northern
European-descended American like myself.
And he is anathema to me, just as is Mohammad and all
his other followers.
John
