Islamism confused/conflated with racismWhat kind of logical fallacy is Greg's position below?
Sam: I'm against Islamism which is the ideology that imposes or tries to impose any version of Islam on society. Greg: So basically you're against Islam. That makes you a racist! Sam: No, I'm not against Islam. I'm against Islamism. This first is a religion, the second is a political ideology. Greg: They're inseparable. Racist! Is this a variation of the Strawman Fallacy? I keep seeing people who take Greg's position in this sort of discussion. It's a very powerful way to put people like Sam on the defensive.

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

Greg is simply misusing the term "racist." Neither religion nor political ideology is race.
