True, Islam is a religion and not a race. But it is the predominant religion of Arabs. I doubt that Coulter would care if an Arab Christian from Lebanon was denied flying - that's just collateral damage and would somehow protect America. The Middle-Eastern guy was denied boarding - phew - that was a close one.
Painting all Muslims (and therefore, most Arabs) as terrorists and promoting something outlandish like not letting any of them fly at all, is simply blatant discrimination. Deciding whether it is based on race or religion is splitting hairs - pick one.

Congratulations. You picked out the prejudice.
BUT...YOU SAID RACIST not discrimination. And her exact quote is, "Not all Muslims are terrorists but ALL terrorists are Muslim." That is not racism. And please stop moving the goal posts. I perfectly understand that you feel her statement was way out of line.
