How to End Racism

[:) Smiley]

Bisexual and interraciality for the world would solve most if not all social problems.

God loves all his children equally, but that doesn't mean they are all exactly the same. Your race is not what makes you you.

[Wernazuma III]

Way to end racism? Kill all racists and all babies who got the racism-gene.

First, prove this to be true. Considering there is abundant evidence contradicting the ol' Adam & Eve fairy tale, and nothing besides religious belief supporting it, I'd say that will be a tall order.

Yes, all men are equal under Islam. Unfortunately women are not.

Actually they are. Read the last words of Muhammed.

It's perfectly OK to be racist to unbelievers under Islam too.

If you discriminate against unbelievers, then it isn't discrimination by race (racism) is it?

Let's think back to the Civil Rights movement in the States, shall we? I always find it very interesting that the man who preached racial harmony and tolerance was Christian (Martin Luther King), while the ones that spread theories about racial supremacy and hatred (Elijah Mohammed) were Muslims.

I also find it interesting that the ones who wanted to keep the blacks down the most were Christian as well .

Jeez, the ignorance is so think you could cut it with a knife .

Even the bible provides evidence against the assertion that Adam and Eve were the first humans when it tells of how Cain went into the land of Nod to get himself a wife. Where did this wife come from if Adam and Eve were the only humans around?

Cali,

Well, you have to remember that Adam lived for over 900 years. It stands to reason that he bore hundreds of children, and quite possibly some of them would have branched out a bit. Most likely, Cain went to Nod to marry his sister. Yes, this is nasty today, but back then, presumably the gene pool wouldn't have been as polluted.

Don't you think this would have been mentioned in the bible considering all the attention that is given to geneology later on? Sorry, but that explanation just doesn't cut it for me because it is completely made up with no biblical evidence to support it.

Let's assume Adam and Eve really were the first humans though...how do you explain the emergence of different races?

I don't know about you Imran, but most of the women I know wouldn't like the 'equality' that would be afforded to them under an Islamic society. And when I mean Islamic, I mean one of those countries like Iran under the 'enlightened' rule of the imams.

Ok, I'm not too sure about whether discriminating against unbelievers is the same as racism, I'll have to check my dictionary for that.

Um, Imran, the fact that the United States population is predominantly Christian would probably have something to do with the fact that they oppressed the blacks the most.

Stipulate that the Bible is true. Given that stipulation, you must believe that Adam and Eve were the first humans. Logically, then, Cain married a sister - or possibly a niece or something like that.

Stipulate the Bible isn't true. Cain didn't go to the land of Nod to find a wife, therefore we aren't having this discussion.

If you want to argue from the Bible, though, my explanation is the only one which can be correct. If you want to argue the Bible isn't true, go ahead, that's another debate, and it's fairly irrelevant as to our specific question.

Wasn't the Tower of Babel meant to be one explanation? While it doesn't explicitely say God created different races, it can be inferred by his other actions.

Of course, many argue that the "Mark of Cain" is dark skin, i.e. all dark-skinned peoples are descendants of Cain. This is nonsensical, however, because if you take the Bible at face value, God slaughtered everyone except Noah and his family during the Flood, so its from them that all humanity would share its origin...

What a retarded thing to say. To assume I support the KKK or nazism simply because I believe in racial differences is ridiculous. I would never support violence against anyone because of their race.

You have absolutely no reason to make such an accusation, and so I will treat it as a personal attack. Please retract this statement.

[David Floyd]

Possibly Noah's wife, or the wives of his sons, were of a different race?
