Keffer posted:ba$eman posted:Yes, I refer to mitigate as something in your head. You were the one who dragged in issues of India when racism was exposed in Islamic societies.
The issue was discrimination based on race, color and it is prevalent in many Muslim/Islamic societies. Many fair Muslims do look on darker people with disdain. In India you get an education and perform, you are recognized and rewarded, regardless of the color of your skin, hair or eyes! That was my experience and observation living there!
What you believe is entirely up to you; but in this instance you believe wrong ! Discrimination is not now and has never been a 'Muslim' problem; it is a human phenomenon. My reference to India was merely to point out an example of what I personally observed there. It is disheartening that some of us, despite being able to utilize and benefit from education and technological advancement, are still steeped in 'us and them'; consequently failing to see the folly of such thinking.
Banna, I think you lost track all together how this convo started and got here:
It was a reference by someone to racism within Muslim societies.
You then dragged in India and as to somehow justify your position.
I challenged you on that since my experience and observation there was different from what you were spouting.
You then referred to people being shewed away from roadsides as your proof.
I told you these were pan-handlers and not an issue of race.
You then went all over like a headless chicken.
The point I was making, there is racism in Muslim societies, something which i saw for myself. So don't act as if Islam is the answer to all human ills, in fact I would argue it is part of humanity ills. Furthermore, I would add, if society adopts the principles in the Ramayan and the Gita and the virtues of Christian bible and the Magna Carta, the world will be a better place!!
You were caught in a web of lies about what happens/happening in India on this front. But you can only fool those who don't know better! And you will get buy-in from the gullible and ill-informed!
