The reason i asked was because white people are accused all the time but we dont seem to use this word when it comes to other cultures. I only picked on muslems cos of whats happened but the question is really for anyone. scottish people too lol.and welsh and irish............:)

When in a muslim country, would they openly practice discrimination? I think many of their laws do discriminate so the answer could be yes. They aren't tolerant to other religions for example.

NO! Well not all of them. Defo not all of em cuz I'm a Muslim (but I'm a rlly bad 1 ppl!) n I'm not racist. Loadza people wiv lighter coloured skin dan me hav called me a paki more than once (even thought I don't come from Pakistan only they wouldn't get to know me well enough to find that out would they?) and I don't assume that all Britons are racist so why should you just because some mass-murdering maniacs are hiding behind Islam? Imagine if a load of Asian and African people came up to you and started calling you a white lil [insert swear word here] and a good for nothing [insert swearword here]. Just because some people have been racist to you doesn't mean they all are. Open up your eyes. There are good and bad people everywhere and their race or religion has nothing to do with that.
And plz spell Muslim ryt. It's wiv a 'u' not an 'o'

They are not racists. It is an outside perception that they don't like other people/religion. They do not like or agree with wars. But like all contries and cultures they go to wars to protect their rights and beliefs. I was raised a christian. I am still a christian, but I have been told my religion is not a true christianity from other different christian religions. I have tried to be converted by them thinking they are doing the right thing by infulencing me with their beliefs but I don't see how I could give up my right without a fight. No different from someone else.

Some muslims are racist. But not all of them. Some English are racist. But not all of them. Some Irish are racist. But not all of them. Some Scottish are racist. But not all of them. Some Welsh are racist. But not all of them. Can you see a pattern here? I could bore you and the rest of us by continuing but I won't. Do you understand?

i think u lot are confusing racism with just not agreeing with another faith. all the terrorists that have actually killed themselves have not killed due to not liking other People, they were just vexed because the American gov was funding Israel and therefore their occupation of the holy land (which should be shared really). they didn't do it just because they don't like Americans. the 911 attacks and all subsequent MURDERS have not been to hurt people who are not Muslim. they have been done as an act of retaliation, 7/7 was because of the English involvement in the Iraqi occupation. a terrorist who thinks he/she is Muslim is not a Muslim. the quran in no way says go blow yourself up and you get into heaven. it says if you die honourably in a fight for your HOME NATION. it is a honourable death thus increasing your favour with Allah and furthering your chances of allowance into heaven. and suicide is condemned by the verses in the first chapter of the qu'ran.

Yes! That's from my own experiences with some of them, but others have been very good, & dear friends. I suppose that, cultural differences aside, they're no different than the rest of 'us'; there are racists in every religion & society.

Of course, well some of them are , Just like a lot of other people are.
Bieng part of any religion does not mean you are not racist.
People often think of racist as a white person mistreating or offending a black person but it works both ways.

I doubt so, if we are talking about the 1.4 billion muslims from all over the world? and i'm sure if they are racist, there'll be a lot of quarrel during the pilgrimage, seeing how racist ppl usually bahave. they r just defensive, like any of us would be if we are always subjected to scrutinization..

there are racist in all society!
I don't think they are any worse or better than the so called christian bigots I have come across.
By the by, I am white British, before anyone accuses me of something else

Islam is itself based on converting the world to a signle book based on the language and practices of Arabs, so I would say yes
