The worst is discriminating against a black Muslim.
Worst two times over

You know..........you may need to look up the word "discriminate" and consider it's literal meaning. While you're at it look up "gay". My point is, a word misused so often in a negative context can be difficult to accept in any nuanced version other than the negative. The word "bigot" for instance is not something that came out of the civil rights movement, but is almost universally misused now to define interracial dislike, ignoring the fact that it also has a positive and a neutrally descriptive meaning. The same goes for "prejudice." The problem this creates is that it takes away our ability to use many words of our language for fear of misinterpretation of our thoughts. So if one wants to say I'm a discriminating person he must say instead I'm a person of discretion or some such, which lacks the descriptive impact. Now, to belittle or denigrate any "race" or any "religion" is unwise and unfair. To do so is to put ourselves on the opposite end of the same canoe which carries those who belittle and denigrate us. Give every man his earnings, only the saints love everyone. Dislike of some person or thing is a common and universal human trait, but to make it a public issue is to ask for an angry reply or even retribution. "Discrimination" in the negative sense you used it, is hurtful and devisive, but it's a fact of life that has been with us since the beginning. That's not going to change, so I'm not sure there can be a "worst" wrong. It's all relative to the users intentions.

I think it would be worst to discriminate against guys with feathers in their hats! If you look up discrimination in the dictionary, I would think that this is a behavior that is most likely practiced by an infantile mind. How's that!

well they both are pretty bad, but i think discriminating against religion is far more worst than race. yeah you can hate on whites, blacks, and others, but those same types of ppl are involved in all different religions which affect way more ppl.

discriminating blacks,im not black but i think this is really really absurd, just because they have a different colour it does not mean they are inferior, how can white people be so intelligent yet dumb in this aspect!
in discriminating islam well you could say its unavoidable , we are competing with beliefs in life, almost all our lives, you cant really force somebody to believe in something he finds not so logical
im not an anti islam, its their right to believe in allah , but its also normal not to believe in islam
but with regards to colour and race its too absurd to degrade one race and call your race superior
we are all the same! in this aspect we are all humans!!!

We're not discrimination yet.
That could come in time.
Right now a very LARGE portion of Dentists and Doctors in the US are Middle Easterners.
Right now a very hefy portion of computer specialists are Middle Easterners.
Right how a heafty portion of Beer, Smokes and Bread small stores are Middle EAsteners.
No one is yet picking on them, because they have yet to blow a Starbucks or KMart.

We are all human. And discriminating based on race is stupid. Azz holes come in all races.
We should all respect someone right to worship god or not to worship god.
