Carol - I'm not saying that racist cannot be defined. Of course it can but since the foundation of the word is a lie, anyone who uses it is immediately discredited and thought to be ignorant of the facts. In other words, you either know its a false construct or you don't.

You also said, "But to deny only Muslims the ability to use protective language while all other groups have such language as protection has the effect of being discriminatory."

Thats bullshit. I don't deny anyone (Muslim or otherwise) the ability to use protective language. I do, however, wonder if Muslims want non-Muslims to determine whether or not those who discriminate against them are racist, anti-Islamist, prejudice or discriminatory. Have you ever heard a Muslim refer to their religion as a race? Have you ever heard a Muslim complain about racism?

You can use whatever language you like but whenever you attempt to speak for a group of people in an attempt to protect them, its best to know if the language you are using to describe the action is acceptable to them.

Like I said, I would not use an inaccurate word but if you want to continue to use a word to describe a false concept, go ahead, it gives the Supremacists credibility.
