I always see people say it isn't racism as it's against a religion - what is the equivalent term then? do we just say bigoted or use terms like islamophobis/anti-semetic?

Well, religion is only an idea as it isn't proven, so as far as I'm aware, you are only criticizing an idea.
It's like how people used to argue against Darwin's theory of evolution. It was only an idea until proven. You wouldn't be racist for saying that Darwin was wrong back then.

Anti-semitism is having a prejudice against Jews. Jewish people are a race of people, not a religion so anti-semitism is just a specific version of racism.

It's religious discrimination. Religion isn't determined by skin colour although it might seem like it. Most people born in a certain religion remain as a follower of that religion but some people do strain from how they were raised and follow a different religion or no religion at all.

what makes Judaism a race more than other religions? is it just because it is hard to convert to or something? or is It more to do with less inter-faith marriage?

Judaism is a religion that Jewish people follow. Judaism is not a race.

Location --> related to race
However, this can slightly vary if someone who isn't Jewish converts to Judaism. Then they are Jewish but not ethnically but religiously.
Muslims are just people who follow the religion is Islam, therefore, they are a religion and not a race.

How on earth could it be racist to criticize an ideological belief system? That is like saying it is racist to criticize a scientific hypothesis, which itself, is an ideological belief system desiring to be converted into a concrete belief system - a scientific theory!

Muslims aren't a race, just a follower of the religion. You can be of any "race" to follow Islam.

Criticism of religion should be allowed and I don’t see reason to classify it as racism, bigot, etc or whatever word the left has for it.
But using that to discriminate those following the religion is probably where you should draw the line.

You don't choose your race. You choose your religion.

The Jewish people are what you call an enthoreligious group. Basically it is a religion that is shared by an ethnic group.
Muslims aren't a race, just a follower of the religion. You can be of any "race" to follow Islam.
