Seems to me it's more hatred than anything else. You don't have to be Middle Eastern or of a particular race to be Islamic. My area of "The Dark Side" is a major Islamic community. There is a mosque, an Islamic school, Halal restaurants, and even an Islamic ATM. A great many Thais living in this area are Islamic. I have never had any kind of problem or unfriendliness at all with any of them and I have never seen any evidence whatsoever of what the article says.

In other words, based on my opinion and what I have observed and experienced in my years of living here, that article is nothing more than baseless bullshit.

Since it refers to religion, not race, I don't see how it is racist. Possibly exhibiting religious bias, but it is not racism since not all followers of a particular religion are of the same race.

Looking at that article and seeing some of the other article titles on their site, I wouldn't believe a word of it before seeing something similar in multiple other reputable sources. This is not what I would consider to be a reputable source. You seem to like posting links to biased poor quality websites.

I'm saying that as someone who has a strong dislike of any hardline religion.

Just look at the site publishing this nonsense. Faith Freedom is an extreme anti-Muslim website. So it is deliberately racist.

If it considers that inbreeding is a fact in some Islamic countries, it should look at Japan. Japan's gene pool is virtually the most exclusive anywhere in the world. What about the Han Chinese?

The article is rubbish!

I think it is racist but it focused on Arabs. Thai Muslims seem to be an intricate part of Thai society from what I see in my day to day. Before I came to Thailand I lived in Bali but there were no shortage of Muslims. I spent time with a Muslim boy from Java and I asked him to show me where the last Bali nightclub bombing was, he took me and A bronze plaque had been placed there as a memorial with the names of the dead, we looked at it together and he commented “ok not many Muslims”.

There is a huge difference between interbreeding amongst cousins and within Japanese population of 120 million.

Interbreeding amongst European royal families supposedly resulted in the Hapsburg jaw. https://allthatsinteresting.com/habsburg-jaw

Although a few generations removed, Queen Victoria is the great-great grandparent of both Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Phillip.

And here is an alternative article on the subject.

The attitude conveyed there also explains why the Ottoman leaders thought it OK to have harems full of women from other religions, amongst other examples of discrimination. This does not cultivate goodwill amongst non believers.

Now I’m really curious. Does that have anything at all with being racist?

Had a look at the webpage. Maybe Trump supporters would buy into this rubbish but nobody with any common sense would. Fake news.
