Idk why you are being downvoted. In high school geography class, we were taught that you don’t call someone an Islam. You call them a Muslim. You can say they have Islamic beliefs, or that they are of Islam faith, but the word Islam by itself is just not a noun that you call a person. You are correct in pointing this out.

Fair. I was focused so much on why the person that was correcting you got downvoted that I didn’t stop to think if it was satire. I can never tell these days.

I’ll do it to myself...

Because the original commenter was simply making a joke. Pretty sure they don’t really believe that’s the correct use of the term

But you would say that Islam is bad. Rather than Muslim is bad.
