I think most would consider them "brown".
Muslim is a religion, if someone considers them anything, that's pretty racist. If a white person converts to Islam, they don't become a brown person. And Semites (Arabs and their kin) are considered white (using Semites in Hollywood is the core of "white washing" that people complain about; and Iranians are the very definition of white - considered the "original" white race by many. Which is a bit weird, but they are as white as white can be. What non-white large Muslim group does anyone even know of outside of Indonesia and Pakistan?

Yes, but it's about perception. The guy who posted that was talking about, I'm sure, Europeans and Americans who are, predominantly, caucasian, or "white". Let's not get hung up on semantics. I get what you're trying to say, but take it with the intent it was meant with.

Sounds like the intent was to be racist. It was an anti-white rant that made no sense. He's implying that Muslims can't be white and that whites can't be Muslim. He's clearly got an inappropriate agenda. If he was complaining about American and Europeans he should do so as American is only about 50% white, and while Europe is higher, it's still not all white. And there are loads of Muslims in those places. There are at least four or five officially Muslim countries in Europe, in fact (Bosian, Kosovo, Alabania, Azerbajan, Turkey.)

We could alter his statement.... nearly all people killed by ISIS were white, here is a Muslim trying to make it all about himself.
Reality: most people killed by ISIS are white Muslims. Most of ISIS are also white.
