There is no single definition of what a "race" is. However, it nearly always includes religion. Race and ethnicity are two entirely different things, where race is encompasses a range of cultural, social and ethnic bases, and ethnicity is focused solely on ethnic grouping. Therefore, religion, as a cultural/social construct, is classed as a race.
If you disagree, I invite you to try and define "race". Are Jews a race? Can't be, Islam isn't! So are Israelis a race? Well, that's not based on any real biological trait, is it? Just a meaningless country border? So what about Middle-Eastern people? Asians, whites and blacks? But that's just skin colour, which can come in a huge variety! There's a huge gradient of colours, so where does "race" as a definition come into it?
There's no such thing as "race", biologically speaking. It's a social construct, which includes religion.
you're right, i forgot we live in a time where sjws have to change the definitions of things to fit their agenda. but sure if religion can define your race then by that logic all muslims are the same race, even if they are from different countries or continents because muh cultural and religious sameness so we must be the same
on the other hand you could always go down the street and ask ahmed and his family if muslims identify as a race
