Not on board with your perspective here at all, @chris, because even though what you're saying is literally and technically correct (probably better known as the worst kind of correct), the counterpoint is that in de facto practice anti-muslim sentiment is driven by racists for racist reasons. It's, in many racist's view, a "brown people religion".

So when pluralists decry the Jyllands-Posten caricatures or the Paludan muṣḥaf burnings or the Trump travel ban or the Dawkins or Harris showing fondness for the village vicar but wanting to nuke the Middle-East as racist, that's not particularly far-fetched. I'm, for once, completely onboard with the pluralists as they make that condemnnation.

It was such a huge get when it was revealed that Jyllands-Posten had, two years earlier, refused to publish caricatures of Christianity. And Paludan has his program where he literally wants everyone that has a parent born more than one country away from Denmark deported—probably better known as ethnic cleansing—is not the guy you wanna turn to for a nuanced take on various strands of Islamic scholarship.
