Racism is not just about skin color. Here is how the United Nations describes it:
The term “racial discrimination” shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, color, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. (UN International Convention on the Elimination of All of Racial Discrimination, New York, 7 March 1966)
Racism includes prejudice against “national or ethnic origin,” such as the diverse tribes of the Canaanites living within the “holy land” and other groups bordering the targeted territory of the so-called “chosen people” during Old Testament times. The God of the Old Testament is therefore a racist, since he denigrates all ethnic groups except the privileged people whom he considers his “treasured possession.”
@BlueSkyKing yes Muslims do believe in the same abrahamic God, good connection. However “we “ also believe that the Torah and gospel which you are quoting from Have been corrupted by kings priests historians and bishops throughout time and that is one of the major reasons why Almighty God sent prophet Mohammed. So quoting the old or New Testament as reference against Islam does not make a valid point. no where in the Quran it says there are favorite chosen people In fact it’s against it And I quote from the Quran {Al-Ma'idah - Verse 18 { The Jews and the Christians each say, “We are the children of Allah and His most beloved!” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Why then does He punish you for your sins? No! You are only humans like others of His Own making. He forgives whoever He wills and punishes whoever He wills. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. And to Him is the final return.”}
Many Christians and Jews back then in Arabia especially with Israeli ancestry would claim that they are Gods favorite so God revealed that.
So if my post is not enough to show that Islam is 100% against racism Then that is another.
