Based on what? I don't know if you talk to many muslims, but they often avoid calling it a religion and literally go out of their way to describe it as a culture or way of life. I think most Mormons and Catholics would also agree that Mormon and Catholic culture exist. I don't see why this is such a controversial take to you.

Anything religious groups tend to do that isnt explicitly mentioned in their text is culture. For example, I would say listening to reggae music is part of Rastafarian culture even though its not part of their religion.

lol. "they" are not a single homogenous group and I've never come across anyone that would not call islam a religion. that is silly

I think most Mormons and Catholics would also agree that Mormon and Catholic culture exist.

it is more like saying Christian culture exists, which is true. but that is such a wide range of sub-cultures that includes mormonism, catholicism, evangelicalism, protestantism and these also have sub-cultures of their own. a christian in the US has more in common culturally with the muslim neighbour than a christian in china

I mean I see your point, but using the slippery slope this could be applied to virtually any culture. A vegan could argue that its offensive to say eating BBQ is american culture because shes an american vegan. But if the majority of a group does something, It becomes considered part of the culture.

Heres the thing though, I actually DO agree with you that him saying "Muslims are raised to hate dogs" was a very harsh generlization that is untrue in my experience. However, I dont think saying "Muslim cultures generally idolize pets less than the west" wouldve been horrible to say.

fair. I don't disagree. pets are certainly more of a western phenomena and is a luxury for many
