I'd say interpretations and it happens with every religion.I agree with most of what you have said in all the above posts. And I respond to you with wider points because it's no point addressing the other fella.
However I don't believe using Zionism is lazy.
I'm Muslim. Within Islam there are certain ideologies that arise. Not all are as Islamic as they claim to be. But that's a wider argument. The point is to be against that specific ideology isn't lazy and not all encompassing.
So someone may hate the shia ideology. That isn't hating all Muslims. Just as an example.
Zionism is by definition and by it's very nature a specific ideology. It has certain beliefs and claims that even all Jews don't agree with.
Anti Zionism being anti semitism is like like anti Al qaida or anti ISIS is Islamophobia.
Not sure what you're getting at. If Shia is an ideology, so is Sunna. I personally find your analogy a bit wonky to say the least. I personally see Sunna and Shia as two different interpretations of the same religious source. A bit like Catholics and Protestants. Hating Shia believers makes you a biggoted asshole and anti-muslim, because Shiites are muslims. The same goes for hating Sunnis. Or Jews. Or Christians. Or Buddhists. Or Atheists. You get the gist of it.
You also can't compare Zionism with Shia. Shia is an islamic religious belief. Zionism is a nationalist ideology born out of the prevalent antisemitism and mass persecutions in Europe.
