Muslims are NOT racist.

Muslims are rarely racist. Muslim 'racism' came into vogue after West begun it's 'war on terror'. It was never a subject of serious discussion even 10 years ago.It's a propaganda by the enemies of Muslims to scare non -Muslims and gather political support for attacking Muslims.
Malcolm X, who imported the concept of racial equality and social justice from Islam to America said -
Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and the overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the House of Abraham, Muhammad, and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors. . . .
You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.

i think if you ask Muslims who are African-American if there is racism you might get a different answer. No they would not say it is Islam that does this.

They face discrimination not because of their race but because they are not rich enough or very well-educated.

I never said racism started after 9-11. Most Muslims, of course, are not racist. And you are silent about Aus's comment.

I believe that the tenants of Islam do not allow racism of any type, but Muslims, well that's a different matter.
