[MENTION=30946]Abz2000[/MENTION], racism in western kind of perspective is DEEP. At almost all the instances you see them acting all innocent, but certain things have been done on purpose.
Although rasicm is haraam and a characteristic of Jaahiliyyah (ignorance).
For example, how Jesus in Christianity is depicted as a white guy, many black Christians just don't notice this.
It is easy to confirm that Jesus is olive-brown skin, and that the eyes fit the middle eastern and asian model - even though that's irrelevant with regard to "his" task.
Or even how blue eyes and white skin is being portrayed as "supreme" while scientifically it is rather "inferior" as it can tolerate less sun. A black person can live easily in a cold place, but a white person can less tolerate the heat in Africa for example.
Biological nature chooses efficiency - this efficiency takes many different variables into account, dark skinned people turn light within a few generations in cold and less sunny weather- it may have something to do with the fact that the body registers that it doesn't require sun protection and camouflage in the dark, and therefore chooses what is more cosmetically pleasing to the majority - and it is a fact that most people prefer to choose lighter skin during marriage - although marriage too takes different variables into account.
white skinned people also choose dark skin over a few generations - the effects of which are more visible in a single lifespan in extreme hot weather, this appears to be a quick selection due to necessity, and spouse selection also plays a part in deciding multi-generational hue.
As a medium brown skinned person, I experience quick change to dark shades in hot climates, and slow change to light shades in cold climates - this indicates to me that the darker shades are more essential and that the normally functioning body chooses necessity over aesthetics. Biological beings experience this choice of necessity over cosmetics during pain from a tooth, the cutting of a boil from the hand despite the scar, shaving of the hair due to lice, and amputation of a limb when the life is threatened.
We as Muslim do not look from such perspective as who is supreme is measured by taqwa (which we cannot see), but if we lower ourselves on to their standards (racist Caucasian people) it is rather becoming contradictory.
Just as the guidance of Allah and just conduct takes precedence in our choices over what may and may not be predestined in our future, and in the past when judging amongst people, the taqwa of a person should normally take precedence over racial superiority when it comes to judging - although it is a fact that some people are genetically more endowed - Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibraheem, and the family of 'Imraan (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the righteous and muttaqeen from amongst them) over all creatures, and they were offspring of one another. looking at their huge capacitative minds and wisdom is an indication that good can be inherited, increased, and passed on - a little like monetary wealth . You will also find that some generations inherit stupidity, foolishness, and low wit from their forefathers, you've probably noticed this in some families, you'll also notice that some whole regions have differences in IQ, although the IQ test is not necessarily always a true indicator of wit and wisdom, since knowledge, familiarity, and literacy plays a huge part in IQ tests. However, genetic anomalies do appear and some essential qualities surface after many generations, and some weak minded families have wise and witty children -and vice versa. Then there is also the issue of some generations slowly working their way up, whilst others hit a peak and the get decadent - then dumb and dumber.
So practicing taqwa, adhering to Allah's guidance and blueprint, thinking deeply, being justly charitable, judging justly - all have an effect on our mindsets, surroundings, and investment in future generations, and rather than thinking like hitler and massacring people based on genetics, we need to focus more on healing and getting the guidance of Allah out there. It is beyond doubt that earlier generations of caucasians slimmed down body wise and increased wit wise - although the wit appears to be more materialistically inclined, this may have been due to the fact that they took the risk and migrated to more unknown but plentiful areas, whereas darker people who remained in africa are genetically more muscular, and willing to accept established customs over risky experiments. The head start in any quality is sometimes due to inheritance, and sometimes to risk. This is also seen in inheritance of wealth and poverty.
Again, these qualities are not fixed, all different generations and clans have different positive genetic qualities, and what is seen as best at a certain period of time -or circumstance- may have, and we may end up finding a trait materially seen as inferior - containing the building blocks of something way more genetically superior after a few generations and variations, so massacres based on genetics is firstly haraam, and secondly suicidal in the long term.
So we need to focus on taqwa. Have you not noticed from the quality of discussion that secularist colonialists after absorption of a long drawn out bombardment of mindless false propaganda, decadent popular (pop) entertainment culture, selfish materialistic greed, racist nationalism, fake superiority complex, and unjust bullying via strength - are losing their ability to think critically and usually come across as superficial trolls in debates? Don't you see the way the stereotypical american fox news host get intellectually hammered by peoole who don't come across as stereotypical americans (by habit and life choice)?
Have you not noticed how the new generation of Muslims are usually more deep thinking and wise? The situation also plays a part but it must be admitted that Muslims went through a period of stagnation from a few generations after the sahabah up until the confusions and weak situation of the last century.
It is a fact that the hahabah and early taabi'een used their brains and obeyed Allah out of a sense of deep conviction, whereas a few generations later - people were just fitting into social norms and emulating the religion of their parents instead of the pure religion of Allah with their minds at work in reality - and basing their arguments not on truth, but on the arguments of the earlier generations who came AFTER the Prophet :saws: and the sahabah, it happened to the people of the previous scriptures until they discarded the ways of life practiced via emulation of ancestors as incompatible with reality, and it happened to Muslims up until the breakup of the cultural and ancestral matrix we were living in until we started to take a beating from the greedy and start looking for answers, and when seeking answers we discarded them all one by one until we found that Islaam is indeed a living religion and that it was prescribed for this time, notice how the youth show more maturity in Islam than their grandparents, which is not the case with any other way of life since all others are in intellectual decline.
I am convinced beyond even a shadow of doubt that Islaam and only Islaam has the ability to heal and spur on the people of this global age, and that losing it win only spekl the degeneration, devolution, and end of humanity.
This is obvious when you see that in secularism, the most corrupt, narrow minded, selfish and lowly are chosen -or at least accepted- by the flock as leaders. Whereas we see revolution and intifidah with every breath and every betrayal when it comes to the new generation of Muslims, and a move towards a new united formation based on way of life rather than race, and our zeal is shocking our parents and grandparents.
Wow, I didn't initially think I was gonna write that much when I started, especially since it's one thumb in portrait mode on the phone.
Sub'han'Allah we see time after time how the event with Adam(as) and iblies being repeated. iblies said i am BETTER than him, in these times this SAME mentality is happening. Many western people act upon arrogance and feel superior to people of other parts of the world. They look at everything that is "brought" by another people as inferior.
Such unjustly balanced egotistic thinking is usually indicative of a peak in a nation, and spells the beginning or inset of decline, you must also bear in mind though that a lot of it has to do with status quo for the more decadent and materially priveliged ruling class who are clearly able to see the vibrance of Islaam and know that it spells the coming overtake, which is why we see such desperate and naked lashing out. It isn't without observation and reason - although the reasoning for such blind hatred is flawed and unjust.
Take 9/11 for example, everyone has an idea as to what really happened, but a matrix and status quo is in place along with high priest of atheist secularist RELIGION and a fear of being seen as the odd one out if one even contemplates stating the plain and obvious truth, there is the fear of loss of status, ridicule, leprosy in sorts. A mould has been cast, but it appears that this superficial mould won't hold out for long. It is essential at this time to present the coherent and truthful teachings of Allah without fear of being shouted down by falsehood.
Have you not noticed how some trolls representative of the secularist religion go insanely wild and start flinging irrational accusation in order to drown out rational and just statements? It is a good sign that the moral and intellectual ball is in the hands of those who are thinking clearly and accepting Islam as the inevitable winner.
For example Islam from Muhammad(saws) because Arabs in these days lack certain skills they are looked down on in everything.
It must be admitted that Arabs have gone through a low point and so have many other colonially beat down and deprived nations, partly because they had stagnated and were basing their logic on the logic of people a few centuries or millenia ago - whereas the prophets and their companions based their faith in Allah and His messengers on logical, sincerely truthful, and sound thought, and based their logic on the foundations of tawheed, adhering firmly to the guidance of Allah, and what they knew as being true in their times. And also due to the deprivation they suffered and are sometimes still suffering. (You cqn't blame people for being less literate when you know they get beaten up or violated on their way to school, or if the blackboard at school has bullet holes all over it, and the school playground has bomb craters, or if a nations kids have to go out to work because of unjust sanctions).
This becomes obvious when you see a person basing his faith in God and acceptance of islam on the fact that he / she was born to Muslim parents, whether devout, or careless, when you see a person getting furious when someone says that the Quran is all fairy tales, and that Muhammad :saws: was a liar, even though the person is 20 or 30 or 50 years old, and has never read the Quran in their own language, and never read the biography of the prophet :saws: to be able to actually decide whether they are true or false, (although i did go through it myself- I was convinced via comparison that the people who practised islam were on the most humble and righteous path - and bush's senior and junior forced me to pay attention) or a scholar of today basing his rejection of the evolution of species - on the logic of a scholar who lived in the ninth or twelvth century who only had access to the information that was available to him at the time, rather than on the Quran which they usually have researched and accepted as being true, along with what they actually find to be the truth only now and not five centuries ago. But we're coming out of that negative curve fast inshaAllah and as long as we are on the side of justice and truth, we will go from strength to strength, and pass down strength through the generations - and even when we die or are martyred whilst on the truth, we win with top grades - though those left behind are deprived unless they pay attention and catch the diamond as we drop it.
From clothing to how they look to how they talk. While clothing (loose clothing) i have concluded that it is BETTER to have during winter as well as during summer. The body can withstand more harsh temperatures,
Loose modest clothing is usually the best social choice, it keeps the moral fabric of society in tact and the respect of the wearers intact, although some jobs for males require variations based on wisdom and the best choice in circumstances with Allah's goodwill in mind - such as fishermen and those who climb etc.
many cultural habits are even superior (sharing food, visiting family more often..just many Islamic cultural habits to even the language. There is no language that comes NEAR to the Arabic language as how deep and detailed it goes.
But yeah, somebody has to take the time to investigate it and one will see it indeed.
Cultural habits which are in line with Islam are inevitably superuor since they fall in line with Allah the most wise, and one can be certain thatvAllah didn't evolve and then choose Arabic as the language for the final international revelation without good reason, studying it continues to confirm this.
We people have become too superficial.
Quite a regressively negative outlook even in general terms , most people are starting to come out of the negative trait and are climbing so let's move forward on that.
Many Arabs even look down on Arabic language and are all in "woow" with English language.
Maybe because the english language is an internationally used language, 1/3 of the world's courts used it after being colonized, and is the most practical for web communication whether one is russian, arab, asian, french, or german; and that computers were developed mainly by people who spoke the english language and basic programming is now english?
It gas a monopoly in the material sphere just as arabic has a monopoly on the spiritual and clarity and depth sphere.
It's a reality, not haraam to learn, and useful to quickly adapt to- especially for international da'wah to Islam.
racism even in skull and bones....
