Hey anyabwile about the whole race issue...
u know islam totally shuns that kinda thing.. i am soo happy to see that you now see things from this perspective.

Anyabwile.. can u imagine a power soo much that can totally turn the tides of racism..
can u imagine if you had total hatred for people who were not of your race.. and after accepting islam you look at those same people as your BROTHER... Sharing in his sadness... rejoicing in his hours of happiness... can u imagine that.... wooww.. this is the sweetness of iman... the sweetness of faith...
this is what islam does to you... you develop a love for your god soo much that you automatically forge a bond with all those who share in his worship... we become one family... as u accept shahaadah and u learn more about islam this bond will grow...
racial lines will become blurred...
and only one distiction will be seen...
muslim...
or not...
welcome to this deen (way of life)
welcome...MY BROTHER...
as salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah
(peace be upon you and mercy of allah)
