Didn't pretend anyone made any remark. I asked you if a remark was bigoted and you claimed it wasn't.
The only ways you could legitimately believe that is true is if you actually do not understand what bigotry is or if you actually believe that all Muslims are terrorists.
Personally I think you are desperately tying yourself in semantic knots to try and defend a position you must know is wrong.
It's possible to legitimately criticise Islamic religion without being bigoted. That doesn't mean that islamophobia isn't real and that any and all criticism is legitimate.
Your right that words do matter. Trying to claim that opposing bigotry is itself a form of bigotry is devaluing the word and giving a defence to the real bigots.
Oh and 'virtue signaling' is pathetic snarl phrase generally used by racists and other bigots who don't like being called on what the are.

It wasn't bigoted. If you had a tiny grasp of semantics and grammar, you might realize that.
Yes virtue-signalling. It's sometimes used to describe racists who hide it all under a veneer of moral posturing. Pretty accurate, in my opinion.
Do we need to redo the posting of definitions that showed how spectacularly wrong you are again. I thought we were by that stage.
Claiming its really the other side who are racist or bigoted is a classic play of racists and bigots.
There is a word of difference between racism & bigotry and people who oppose such behaviour. Is up to you if you want to pick a side with the racists.

Go ahead. None of your definitions accurately describes your make believe statement.
I would much rather pick a side with racists than the thought police.

See this kind of "Apologist" attitude hides facts, the facts are one particular race has a penchant for crime and the imprisonment statistics prove that beyond any shadow of doubt but you try and muddy the water with that garbage you just wrote. It seems we are living in an age where the lie is more important to some people than the truth.

Why not admit that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful and harmless, and that attempting to ban all Muslims is nothing but hateful, and won't even solve the problem of terrorism?
Because people like you who are unaware of the Islamic Agenda need to be taken to task for being stupid and naive, it has nothing to do with hate and everything to do with preserving our very way of life. You have no idea what has happened in Spain, France and now Germany...I will give you some advice, go and listen to Bill Warner on youtube and come back and talk in here. Islam is invading the West and the facts are there for all to see.

Not waded through the thread because I can only bet its been a 2 sided argument.
To actually answer the question posed by the OP, it depends what the crime is, if its not a crime directly linked to the religion and you are pointing out that they are Muslim just for the hell of it then its not racism but it is hate. Take rape, its a horrible crime done by many types of people, it has no one perpetrator but in recent years many have attributed it mainly to Muslim men and in truth Islam has not really done enough to sort those in its community out BUT and its a big but, just because its a Muslim man doing the raping does not make it a Muslim attached crime, that ONLY happens when the rapist decries that he did it because its part of his belief in the off shoot called Radical Islam.
There are Muslims who rape but not because they are Muslim but because of other factors, mostly the same factors any horrendous person rapes for.
