Yes it is! In this world we all are human and lets treat eveyone in humanly manner.

Just becauase few people from a particular sect committed terror, it doesnt mean everyone are following it and we can call them by whatever name we want.

Just because it's not rascist, doesn't mean it's not hate inciting -- inciting hatred, by way of religious bigotry is a crime in some countries.

Yes, unfortunately, you are free to be a bigot in the USA, however, Canada and the UK both have laws against inciting hatred -- last time I looked, both those countries were part of "the free world" -- whatever that means.

1) "The literal meaning of the word bastard is the circumstance of being born of parents who are not married to one another (see illegitimacy). The word is also used as a generic derogatory term for a male who is rather obnoxious or unpleasant (a derogatory word for an obnoxious or unpleasant female is bitch)."

2) "A Muslim (Arabic: مسلم) is an adherent of the religion of Islam. The feminine form of 'Muslim' is Muslimah (Arabic: مسلمة). Literally, the word means "one who submits to God)"."
Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim


3) Saying "muslim bastard" wird generally be understood as an insult apllied to an adherent of Islam. It is discriminative against muslim. It is not racist (whether "bastard" nor "muslim" have something to do with "race")
