    Idk about it being a racist term in general.

    1st of all because Islam is a religion not a race, and we are dealing with Christianity and Judism which are also religions.

    And yes, it is a term to group 2 of 3 Abrahamic religions. One that is an offshoot of the other.

    Islam is different in that it rejects much of the Old Testament.

    So its a term that refers to the group of people that believe the Old Testament.

    Its a term. People have used it when making racist policies, but that doesn’t make the word racist.

      It’s a term invented and popularized by racist people to make racist policies (yes even Orwell - “Shooting an Elephant” is sus af) . There is already a term that refers to all three Abrahamic religions! By specifically excluding Islam, they are able to exclude the Arab world and all those nonwhite Muslims and make them into an Other. It’s an underpinning ethical framework for shit like the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, overthrowing Ghaddafi and the Muslim Brotherhood and plunging North Africa into chaos, and ethnically cleansing Palestine.

      It needs to fucking stop.

        So people can never refer to judism amd christianity by them selves?

        People should be able to talk about them in any combination of one, two, or three that they want. Thats how open intellectual shit happens.

        I think your passion has clouded your logic and debate.

          You are glossing over the question of why they would be choosing to refer to only 2 out 3 related religions.

          Do the brain thing yourself before you judge people for it. Some people talk big about debate and intellectuality even though they are the first to disengage and dismiss others’ arguments.

            Yours is the side telling people they cannot use the term or even consider the concept jnown as ‘Judeo-Christian’ without being an irredeamable racist.

            I judge people who tell me what things i can and cannot think about and what words i can use.

            I call them facists.

          People are one thing, but the fucking Pentagon shouldn’t be talking about it! There’s nothing intellectual about this shit.

            Yeah, the Pentagon kills just about as many innocent people as God did in that Old Testament this General masturbates to.

              Well, to be fair, the Pentagon never wiped out the entire human race and forced it to restart from a single family.

              So, God? More evil than the Pentagon.
