Wouldn't a more comparable test be "I don't like Christians" or "I don't like vegans"? If they say Jews it's often racist, not about their personal beliefs.

"Muslims" is often used in a racist way to mean brown people, not just refer to a religious group. "Jews" is used in the same way, to refer to an ethnic group as often as a religion.

The two are used by racists in almost the exact same way. "Christians" are mainly white, so racists dont often attack them at all, especailly since a large contingent of the racists are christian.

Is that a US thing? I've never seen that use in Europe (yet?)

You've never seen "Jews" used to refer to the ethnic group... in europe?

I should've been more specific that I was talking about Muslims

I think they're talking about referring to Muslims as an ethnic group. Jews does literally mean either the religion or the ethnic group.
