There are all kinds of people believing in Islam. It is a religion/ideology. It is NOT a race. So you jumped to a wrong conclusion.

When being referred to in the manner described, it's being used as a proxy for race, so that was indeed racist.

Right? And even if I took the guy at his word that it's 100% the religion.. I happen to like the First Amendment. I think all of it's previsions are good in spirit and in practice.

To try and win an election specifically by rallying people against a domestic populous as their enemy is an awful hitler-esque thing to do. Isn't that literally the same recipe?
