Why aren't people who support and defend Islam considered racist?
Because Islam (or ‘Muslim’) is NOT a race - but a set of ideas (in many ways a complete worldview affecting all aspects of existence) one subscribes to.The entire Islamic ethos is firmly rooted against any kind of racism (which calls for the establishment of the ‘Ummah’ - or the community/brotherhood-sisterhood of believing men and women subservient, in essence, only to God, and no one else. This does not mean that they cannot uphold other ideological positions - as long as these do not clash with Islamic doctrine). It is unfortunate that the political situation of the Muslim world has more-often-than-not been contrary to the Islamic creed; today more so than ever.According to the Qur'an, the only criterion for the elevation of some human beings over others is their degree of God-consciousness and piety (something which can only be judged by God and no one else - on the Day of Judgment). So it is very important for believing Muslims to strive hard to do good works on earth (in accordance with their faith - as well as fulfill any non-faith-contradicting covenants that they may enter into with others: such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).That there exist many ‘muslims’ today who are unaware of the principles & requirements of their faith (either by choice or lack of opportunity), or who may choose to completely violate them in the service of some political or social agenda, is extremely regrettable and another matter altogether.
Why can't you criticize Islam in some European countries? Why is this called racism when Islam doesn't respect non believers or people from different religions?
I am Christian and live in Auburn NSW Australia. We have a large Islamic community. I have not had ANY problems with the older Islamic community however have had considerable issues with the younger muslims. I have encountered threats for simply living in the area, been called all sorts of names and told that I should get out of my own city as it now belongs to the Muslims. As I said, it is not the older community, but the younger. The older and broader community needs to look at this asap however it seems to carry on and get worse year after year. Everybody needs to look at what their children are doing and solve the issue before it spirals out of control. At the moment, it is every other religion and atheists against Muslims and the unfotunately a lot of the Muslim youth in Auburn like it this way.
Why are BLM and Farrakhan not demonized and labeled a hate group like KKK?
That is a great question and I agree with you. However, the answer we always seem to get is that it isn't racism or hatred when it is directed at a white person.
Why are so many black stereotypes true and why does acknowleging them make a non-black person a racist (which, by the way, i am not)?
Answering in order: 1) Having been a server I can honestly confirm that no one likes to see a black family at one of their tables, especially other black people. Many black people basically expect to be treated like crap, and have in turn developed a defense of taking first offense. This is one of those cases where no one wins really. Businesses treat black people like crap because they act this way, and black people act like crap because they're treated this way. It's a vicious cycle. 2) As opposed to the white guy who drives around a $60,000 sports car despite only making half that a year simply because every other white guy in the neighborhood owns one...? Material desire is basically ingrained into our DNA. The only question is what your culture tells you to seek. The media has hammered the idea into young black man that the signs of success for a black man are things like golden grills, jewelry, and overpriced, ugly clothes. Just as the media has told me that as a white guy I better someday own a $60k sports car or women will laugh at my penis. 3) Most blacks are also Christian or Muslim, and both religions tend to say not to use protection. a/b) Sadly often the case. But go to any rural trailer park and you'll find the same thing going on only with absentee white fathers. This is more on the women, who have been raised in a society which tells them they have no value because of their appearances and should accept whatever their given because it's the best than can expect. 4) Everyone is.
