don't like and hate are different. If you don't like it but let them do it then no, but if you hate it and want to change the way they are or think you are better then yes you are.

No. A raciest is a person filled with race-hatred against people of another [different] race than themselves. In some cases, for example race-hate against the Jews, this has a very specific meaning and is called antisemitism. Disliking another person's religion is not racism. For example, a Christian can be of any race on earth, likewise a Muslim. However it is not the case with the Jewish faith because to be a follower of that faith you are almost inevitably going to be Jewish [a Jew] by race. If you are having a problem with other religion[s] try to find out more about them. The more we know about other people the less we have to fear and the more we find that which is the same about us.

Not at all,what is the meaning of race in the first place, it means a major division of human kind,having distinct physical characteristic i.e colour of skin.
but this hasn't got anything to do with religion or way of live and the word racist or racism comes from race.Therefore, once more you are not a RACIST.

In todays world anything you don't like about someone else makes you a good candidate for them accusing you of being a bigot, racist and all that other garbage. The fact of the matter is, if you don't like something, then its just that, you don't like them. Who cares if a bunch of idiots call you a racist. Anyway, hopefully this is your best answer, cause I really need 10 points : )

Whether you don't like their religion etc. is not the issue.
You can dislike all those things. What is important however, is that you respect and accept their right to have different religions and beliefs and not judge them because of it.
Judge people on how they interact with you!

No, they may see you as being, but that's because it's the easy way out for everyone these days, to call everyone who disagrees with them, a racist!
Why should we all agree with each other. But at least we tend to agree to disagree, some people just want to push their views on others without informed discussion and putting it to a vote.
We Brits are the most easy going, to our detriment at times.

Everyone has the freedom of speach and opinion,just because you make a comment of someone's religion or disagree with certain belief's it doe'snt mean you'r racist....
My opinion is I don't beleive in god or allah or what ever you want to call him,it's a screen for people to follow world order.

No, I think most of us feel the same way as you do, I have many friends of ethnicity, and if I don't like something, then we debate it, which may make me understand better, or not in some cases.
Their are things with some religions, that really wind me up. If you chose to live in this country, then our laws should be aboded too.
Simple as.

No it doesn't.
I have been boile din oil on here for qustioning the Pope's recent erm lecture on Islam.
I would have respected him if he had said look ,this is my considered opinion and this is why I think this, its not racial. But he didnt he hid begind a quote saying it wasn't his opinon at all.
WHilst I thin khe was on dodgy ground its hard to deny someone a right to their opnion, provided it isn't encouraging epople to go wipe each other out etc,.
No doubt I will get shouted again now!

No, you're not a racist, but you should learn to be more tolerant of other's culture and way of life as many countries are getting more cosmopolitan nowadays as people movement/migration increases on a scale like it has never before.
We are entitled to our own opinions, but we should also accept others for what they feel is right.
