Correct and rewrite: While Islam itself is a religion and theoretically separate from race, Islamophobia often embodies elements of racism due to the racialization of Muslims. It is a multifaceted form of bigotry that combines both religious intolerance and racial prejudice, making it possible for individuals to experience racism due to their Islamic faith or appearance associated with it. While Islam is a religion and not a race, Islamophobia can intersect with racism. Muslims may belong to any race or ethnicity, but many people make racialized assumptions about Muslims, often associating them with certain ethnic groups. For example, individuals from the Middle East, South Asia, or Africa, regardless of their actual religious beliefs, are often stereotyped as Muslims and subjected to Islamophobia. For many Muslims, Islam is intertwined with their cultural and ethnic identity. This can result in prejudice that targets both their religious and ethnic identity simultaneously. For example, a Muslim Pakistani individual might face Islamophobia due to religious bias, which may also overlap with racial prejudice against South Asians
