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.

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