""It's absurd that Moslems pretend to be offended. I think they just enjoy being rabid and violent and any excuse is a good one." You generalize without any proof. I doubt that you can supply proof that "Moslems pretend...enjoy..." Not a good basis for a discussion "so the problem can be properly considered"" You didn't answer this. ""Jew" is used to describe genes and religion, so it's an ambiguous word. Moslem only means religious. So one can't be racist against Moslems, or Christians." Not so. Jew may be used to describe genes but that is patently false. No Jewish genes exist. Brown guy meets white guy. White guy asks why brown guy hates all white guys. Brown guy says you're a racist. Brown guy meets white guy. White guy calls him an Islamist terrorist. Brown guy says you're a racist. Brown guy is right in both cases but for different reasons. 1) White guy generalized from a specific to claim that the brown guy hates all white guys. 2) White guy generalized about all brown guys from a specific about some brown Islamists. "I suppose that means you are superstitious [aka religious]." You don't have to be religious to be superstitious.
