28. By 'criticize', if you mean flogging rightwing tropes that denigrate an entire religion

then, yeah, you're probably correct.

A more useful discussion might be had if you post your specific grievance that made you feel uncomfortable as a perceived "bigot or racist" in criticising the Islamic faith.

BTAIM, by aligning your personal POV with Trump's Muslim ban, which was denied by the courts as a flagrantly bigoted and racist policy, and is not going to change due to recent current events, seems to contradict your assertion.
