Most of the world's christians aren't even white, they're africans and asians.
Yet no one with a brain claims that criticising christianity is a racist
The term has been used and widely, stupidly accepted to simply get rid of our freedom of speech and expression and the attempt to remove the right to tolerate those without beliefs rather than just those with beliefs. People think religion requires some sort of respect and specialism when it does not.
it is islamaphobic though! like if i criticis homosexual people i would be considered a homophobic
Islam, and all other religions, is a set of ideas at its core. As ideas, they are intellectual property and so are there to be discussed, criticised etc. When people try to criticise religions, especially Islam, they get shouted down for being offensive. Homophobia is a different thing because that is treating people differently for a state of being (homosexual), which is very similar to sexism. Please try to avoid drawing comparisons between things that have nothing in common.

I am a muslim and have never said that it is racist...coz you can get any muslims in any race. But some people lol think that muslims are only arabs or like the middle east. Trust me they are people like that.
Oh and they have noo clue how diverse asia is lol...all they think of is brown people or like chinese LMAO.
Too many people can't understand that the idea of race and nationality are more or less irrelevant in Islam. Apologists will argue that race is no longer about 'race' but about cultural discrimination (here is an example of this argument: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/craig-considine/muslims-are-not-a-race_b_8591660.html). The issue, however, is that there is inconsistency in the definition of the term 'race' between proponents of the idea of 'cultural racism' and traditional 'racism'. Secondly, race as understood in Islam, is very different to 'cultural racism'. Accusing someone of being racist for criticising Islam will only lead to further confusion and frustration.
