I could be wrong though.

I don't know.
I am baffled that people pointing out factual things that might be stretched into generalizations by some unable to isolate anything is called "racist".

I agree, "racist" is not the correct word.

I've been called a racist here for expressing my intense dislike for the Chinese... again, not a race, a nationality, but folks found it racist at that time.
Like Rush Limbaugh's mocking the Chinese Premiere, mimicking his Chinese accent. It was a childish thing to do, but liberals across the nations were screaming it was racism.
Like any dissatisfaction expressed about the President - racist.
Like I said, when it suits.
On topic, I don't think it's racist, the death penalty for homosexual acts. Third World barbaric and demonstrative of a Dark Ages mentality, yes. Racist? No.

So the question is whether or not its stereotyping to suggest that Muslims are violently opposed to homosexuality then. I'd say it's a generalization at the very least since it can't possibly apply to all Muslims. I suppose it would depend on the Muslim and whether or not if he/she were put in a position to decide whether or not violence should be used against a homosexual/homosexual acts. Tbh I'm not even knowledgeable enough about the religion to know if it's belief system dictates one way or another.

I certainly agree with your post here. To say that all Muslims are violently opposed to homosexuals is ludicrous. To make any statement that would suggest an entire group of people would want to oppose homosexuals with violence is not being fair. Certainly individuals would not all agree with the question being asked; however, I can say that Islam is not the only religion that professes the "evils" of homosexuality. The Old Testament gave the commandment:Leviticus 20:13 wrote:If a man lie with a man, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Putting homosexuals to death was apparently commanded by God, and not only Muslims practiced executing homosexuals. My question would be: "Does GOD violently oppose homosexuals?" Because the obvious answer is: "Yes!"
