It is not racist to be against a backwards and still primitive religion or have it take over large sections of our cities.Which it is and that is undeniable.I can walk to more than one of these areas from my front door within fifteen minutes.There are areas where it is inadvisable for white people to walk through.This is not fantasy,This is the cold hard truth.Why should we have accept this and remain silent or be called racist?

The constant use of that word is an intimidation tactic and, at the end of the day, says more about the person throwing it around than those they attempt to label.

It is boring but what it won't do is shut down opinions - try as they might.
