Perhaps "race" was the wrong word to use, but I don't think it makes a difference what word is used, I think its pretty clear as to what is being said.

Suggesting someone is a racist because they express intolerance of a particular religion
is clearly wrong, there is a huge difference....but the racist card is
so easy to grab onto.

Sorry, I thought this thread was about legislation being proposed in France,
which was in Europe last time I looked. Simple enough?
Go to any Islamic country and they will not hesitate to tell you what is unacceptable behaviour
/ dress / consumption etc.and you have no choice but to comply with these laws no matter how
arcane or irrelevant they may seem, or be punished (as in really punished) accordingly.
Muslims might just have to get their heads around the fact that other countries may choose to do the same.[/quote:705fd]
Look, the guy said he hated muslims. In my book, that's racial discrimination. It's the same thing as saying I hate Christians because their christian, or blacks because their black, or Germans because their german. It makes no difference. And again, I was referring to some of the posters here, not European countries.
Last time I checked a lot of countries with a Muslim population supressed its people. Eg: Afghanistan 2001. So because a tyrant government in the Middle East won't allow Catholics to wear a cross, a supposed democratic government of the west is supposed to do the same? i don't buy it. Our countries are built on equality for all, not on what other countries do.
