quite possibly the most racist, exclusionist and intolerant religion i have come across.
Over the years, I have studied a number of different religions, and the upshot is that I found them all to be exclusionist to come degree. I think that is just endemic in the make up of religion.
The other relgions, christianity included, are all pretty toxic and all religions believe that they have the best imaginary friend and they are quite happy to go to war over it. They have happily gone to war over their beliefs over the centuries and I can not see it changing until such time as people become tolerant and accepting of each other beliefs.
So, in answer to your point, then Islam is racist and not in the least tolerant of others beliefs. The other religions are not perfect by a long shot, but Islam seems to lead the way in believing everyone should conform to their beliefs and doctrines.

There is in on way any thing that should make you think Islam is racist, you must be confusing your self with governmental policies of Muslim countries that happen to be racist.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are essentially the same they all follow the old testament and the only difference is on the choice of messier the Jewish believe that he has not come the Cristian's believe that it was Jesus and the Muslim believe that it was Mohammad.
Islam is practised word wide by all races it is one of the largest religions in the world, do not confuse the problems of the Mideast with a religious doctorate that belief will make you the racist one

Islam is the following of a certain religion, the Muslim religion and nothing to do with race!!
I have worked in Muslim countries along side Brits and Americans who have actually changed to become Muslims, without any prompting, so certainly nothing to do with race!!
I personally think that all religions are way beyond belief, the very concept of a God is beyond belief! But I try to be fair, Muslims are no more guilty of 'forcing' their religion on folk than the Christians!!
I don't ever recall having a Muslim knock on my door trying to sell me his religion!! But a few Christians have!!
You have asked a couple of questions along these lines, if you have a point to make, come out with it, don't beat around the bush, best to get it off your chest out into the open, don't worry about being called racist or whatever, I have been emailed loads of times to inform me that I am the AntiChrist, I will go to Hell etc etc, but I have stated my point of view and am happy with it.
So I suggest you do the same, if you treat the question in a polite manner no one can really have a go at you for that, we still have some little freedom of speech, this 'politically correct' BS cuts no ice with me, say what you want to say, and good luck to you!!

How can Islam or any religion be racist .try thinking about what you are saying .don't just say things for effect .Any one from any race can follow any religion .So for your question to be answered with a yes or a no .we will have to say that Islam is a race .but it's not .It's a religion .Is some one from lets Nigeria the same race as some one from Iran the same race not they are not they just got the same religion.If you are a white church of england and english .And the guy next door is white catholic and english .You are the same race but different religion .your religion is not your race .

Islam as a whole isn't rascist. I have met iranians or afghans who arn't biased against dark skinned people. But certain cultures, some ofthem islamic some of them not islamic are very rasict. To my mind, east Indians, pakistanis and some latinos are the most rasict people in the world. (There might be some exceptions though).They would appease light skinned people and kick darker skinned people.

No its not racist.
The Nazis who had similar views were racist because they believed their Race, Aryans, were superior.and others were inferior.
Muslims believe they and other Muslims are superior to Non Muslims.
However killing others because they are of a different religion is not racist, so wearing a swastica, supporting the Nazis, is racist because they killed those of a different race, while wearing a burkah or a veil to show that you identify with muslims who killed Americans who were ostensibly of a different religion, but actually were just as generally of different religions to being of different races is not racist.
Do you understand.
There are laws against promoting religious hatred but the Muslim attitude to non muslims and actual hatred are so closely allied it would need a QC to discern the difference. And there are not sufficirent prison spaces for all the muslims if it were enacted.
So I as a Christian love Muslims and wish them no harm but would like them to become Christian and enjoy eternal life after death. Muslims however regard me as an inferior and If I dont convert to islam they would like me dead, not exactly equitable that.

Islam is not racist, as they have people from every race and in fact it is not an all exclusive club. As with any religion they accept the religions of others but hold their ideology as the only truth.

Islam is a belief and religion, not a perticular race. So, the question itself is stupid. This is something to play with the word. Had you have called fanatic, I would have answered properly. Those christians and jews who beleve that Israelites are blessed race of God and this blessing is uncondition and absolute are racist.

It is not rascist, because any body from any race can convert into islam, but muslims believe everybody must convert into islam as it is the only religon.
What it is is intolerant, as you are not allowed to to practise any other religon but islam. If you want to coexist in an islamic country, you must pay tax to your islamic neighbours or have your head cut off, or have your church bombed etc etc etc

Actually, Islam does appear to be a racist religon (I am not implying that other religons are not).
The Muslim Hadith calls black people "raisin heads" (Bukhari: Vol. 1, number 662 and Vol. 9, number 256) and refers to them as slaves.
Islam calls blacks: “collectables,” and “men of no descent” (Ishaq: 405).
If someone dreamed of a black woman, she was an evil omen of disease (Vol. 9, numbers 162, 163).
Muslims are told that Africans “annoy the Prophet” (Ishaq 243), have hearts “grosser than a donkey” (Surah 9:61) and that blacks should be left to die if injured, and should be denied intercession and entrance to heaven (Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 137).
Muhammad himself had black slaves (Vol. 6, number 435).
