Some of the reasons that targeting Muslims is racist is because in the past people of the Muslim communities have committed bad crimes against the country.

If people of Muslim communities have committed bad crimes against the country, wouldn't that justify targeting them for surveillance?

Muslim isn't a race.

When they say Muslim they are clearly referring to Arabic people in general. It’s incredibly obvious but even if this is not the case it is religious persecution and also unconstitutional and inherently racist

Following the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015, a new wave of anti-Muslim sentiment rose up across the country. Governors declared they would refuse to accept Syrian refugees within their state borders. The House of Representatives passed a bill designed to halt the resettlement of Syrian and Iraqi refugees to the United States. Congress tightened controls in the visa waiver program by passing a law that enshrines discrimination against dual nationals of Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria, or anyone who has visited those countries in recent years — including the relatives of American citizens wanting to visit family.

People and the news sometimes really only tells you what they want you to hear. You can hear a million things about Muslims and people of other races and religeons, but this does not mean that they're the way everyone makes them out to be. It's extremely unfair to judge someone and everyone that would fall under the said catagory without even putting the effort to getting to know the person.

Muslims were never meant to be in America in the first place. If they wanna be here, they gotta live with the fact that their culture might not be as welcomed here.

Here's the thing they have been given many chances, and if it means protect the rest of the U.S. citizens so be it.

Targeting a religious group because of some extremists and criminals is unethical and many who follow the religion aren't like this at all. Target the criminals, not the Muslims.
