Since the very early days of Islam, people from all races and social/economic backgrounds were accepted into the religion. This has been documented unanimously in all historical books. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
himself taught us that no Arab Muslim is better than a non-Arab Muslim, nor a non-Arab Muslim is better than an Arab Muslim in the sight of God except in the level of Taqwa (or Piousness and God consciousness and God-Fearing character). The fact that most Muslims in the world are not of Arab Origin (only 20 percent are Arabs) is a clear example that Islam has long ago transcended the teachings of racism, color, and economic status. This is one of many aspects Islam can capitalize on in its spread in the United States and this is actually one of the reasons why Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States: no prejudice, no discrimination, and no feelings of superiority among the Muslims themselves. In addition, Muslims don’t care about fighting racism per se, but rather, they care about spreading justice and relieving oppression for every one. That’s why, Islam refutes the rhetoric of Black-hood, or White-hood, or Hispanic-hood, Asian-hood, etc., and instead emphasizes Human-hood and the necessity of being just.
See islam is better. Thank you have a nice gupshup.

The present day Islam as practised by Orthodox Islam - both shia & sunni is both RASCIST & Xenophobic.
It is lamentable that presenters of such posts cannot cite examples of compassion & tolerance in "their own practise of Islam" but, yet insist that Islam of shariat & sunnah is the answer.
The pen is mightier than the sword. You had nothing to say, yet you still chose to open your mouth. When all is lost, there is always the 'name calling'.
Listen, I can debate you & your 1,001 wahabi mullahs on my own, anytime & anywhere.
Bye the way faceuP!
I’m not Wahabi.
The sect wahabi has nothing to do with Islam.
The founder of the sect killed many scholors and thus should not be followed
And, yes I am muslim!
Secondly, I told you khalifa as the follower of Khalifa Rashad! Is that wrong!
Khalifa is not a bad word. You think negatively buddy and can not tolerate and are not compassionate.
You failed the test
If you guys have personal issues to resolve...take them elsewhere. We don't need your useless name-calling and sarcastic attitudes cluttering this bulletin board.
You've chosen to call wahab/salafis -- non-muslims:
Shaheen, your Quote: "The sect wahabi has nothing to do with Islam. The founder of the sect killed many scholors and thus should not be followed."
This is a rascist statement - pure & simple!
**NOTE**
Going forward, the debate shall be based on ideas & facts. We'll see how you function under those conditions.
The Deviation of those who are satisfied with The Qur'an to the exclusion of Hadeeth
I didn't said that the wahab/salafi are non-
muslims.
Muslim is just muslim, not wahabi, barelvi, salafi, ahle hadith etc etc.
Whosoever defines him/herself as one of the above is doing a non-islamic thing.
THe interpretation is ludicurous!
No problem Admin!
We should just try to remember the duty:
A'ouzubillahe minush shytanir Rajeem
Bissmilla hir Rahmanir Raheem
Kuntum khaira ummatin OOkhrijat linnase ta'moruna bil ma'rufe wa tanhauna anil munkar.
Trans: You (the muslims) are the best nation which has been created for the whole mankind, which give order for right(ma'ruf) and forbid the wrong(munkar)
That is why we are told in surah al-baqarah about the people of sabth (bani israel) that those who were on the right path but did not forbade others of their wrong doings were also punished by Allah.
Wama alaina illal Balagh!

my position on the Wahabi/Salalfi are CONSISTENT with those of Ahl as Sunnah Jammat who have formally declared the wahabis as 'Gumraah' or Heretics and are to be shunned!
Only the power of the Saudia petro-dollar prevents the wahabis & deobandis from being kicked out of Islam.
Note: I shall add another 'name' of banya to the lexicon of names I've inherited here on GupShup!
