Racism...But Not Racism

Moroccan organisations in the Netherlands want the Dutch public prosecution department to prosecute Freedom party PVV leader Geert Wilders for discrimination against Muslims, because of a ten-minute film about the Qur'an that Wilders has not even made yet. Wilders plans to make the film to show the world what kinds of unwholesome things are recommended in the book, but these people want him prosecuted before they've even seen it.

This line is quite hilarious:

"Wilders is a racist with regard to Islam. His comments are not aimed at a race, but at a religion and population group."

Here, the man admits that Islam is not a race, but he still calls Wilders a racist. So he's effectively saying that Wilders is a racist without the racism.
