Do Muslims really believe white people are the devil?

Question

I became very concern when I was surfing around the net trying to figure out the truth about the Muslim religion. One website said something about how the caucasians are the devil and will be destroyed. I believe no sound religion would ever point out a single race as the cause of evil. You have to know every white person in the world to make that assumption.

I also wonder about killing in the Muslim Religion. Most religions say its wrong to kill. Killing should always be avoided because people are not born evil.

Answer 1

There are different denominations of Islam now. The Islam that believes that whites are devils is the extremist Islam which is taught by the farrahkan types. I can gather up his website if you want it. I have read it is as well. There is a faction of Islam that does believe that whites are the devil.

Definition: The Nation of Islam was created by W. D. Fard in Detroit in the early 1930s. Little is known about Fard - the date of his birth is a mystery and no one knows if his disappearance in 1934 was linked to his death or if something else happened to him and he died later. It is known, however, that he preached that blacks were the original humans created by Allah, but they had been stolen from their homes by the "white devils." When blacks return to the true religion (his interpretation of Islam), then Allah would vent his fury on these white devils and restore blacks to their proper place as his chosen people.
The Nation of Islam Exposed

By. A. I. Palmer (Society for Adherence to the Sunnah)



Louis Gene Walcott Farrakhan is not a Muslim, nor is his doctrine Islam. Farrakhan is the leader of a black racist cult called "the Nation of Islam," (NOI) founded in Detroit, Michigan in the 1930's. While the group calls its followers Muslims, in reality, they have very little to do with the faith of Islam. Islam believes in the total transcendance of almighty God (called in Arabic, Allaah), the NOI teaches that black people are angelic gods. Islam maintains universal brotherhood, the NOI says that Islam is for blacks only. Islam teaches that prophethood ended with Muhammad ibn Abdullah, more than 1400 years ago. The NOI teaches that Farrakhan's teacher, Elijah Muhammad, is the last prophet. Islam teaches principles of spiritual and moral decorum such prayer, fasting, charity, pilgimage, etc., Elijah Muhammad cast these out or altered them beyond recognition.

Yet, it is an error to oversimplify the issue by denouncing Farrakhan's racist diatribes while playing down Farrakhan's God-is-a-man and Prophet-after-Muhammad beliefs. Racism has very little to do with the issue. Sure, racism is contrary to Islamic principles and Islam rejects it. However, the deviation of Elijah Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan are MUCH more serious than racism. It is the sin which Allah DOES NOT forgive. If Farrakhan would leave his man-is-god and prophet-after-Muhammad beliefs, but was still a raving racist, he would be much better off than the other way around! Let me say very clearly, that there is NO ideology on the face of this earth which could be farther from Islam than that of Louis Farrakhan. NONE!

The NOI's origins are found in

(a) two black self-improvement movements that began shortly before World War I: the "Moorish Science Temple of America," founded in 1913 by Timothy Drew, and the "Universal ***** Improvement Association," founded in 1914 by Marcus Garvey.

Note that the Nation of Islam is not the Islam that most people are thinking of.

Answer 2

I think you came across a site for 'The Nation of Islam". NO, this is not an islamic belief, and I don't know why the claim to be muslim because nothing in the Quran mentions barring anyone race from heaven or sending any one race to hell. Islam says that whoever believes in God and the last Day shall be saved. That would include caucasions.

Answer 3

Islam recognizes no man-made artificial distinctions based on color, tribe, race, nationality, or otherwise. As all people come from the original couple-Adam and Eve-they are all one family and therefore equal before God

. What distinguishes people from each other is their commitment to Islam: "The most honored in the sight of Allah is (he who is) most righteous." (Qur'an 3:86).

Islam is professed by about one-fourth of humanity, and is the fastest growing major religion in the world today. People from all walks of life, seeking truth and wholeness, are converting to Islam in significant numbers they come from all classes, races and walks of life. They include scientists, professors, philosophers, journalists, song artists, athletic stars, pastors, ministers, members of the armed forces just to name a few.

Answer 4

No, In Islam all races are equal and the best people are those who have more faith, regardless of Colour

[49.13] O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is Knowing, Aware.

Answer 5

Im not muslim but i seriously doubt this. There might be certain muslims who do but saying all muslims do is just another fake stereotype. You cant look at a just a couple people in a group and take that as basis for the group as a whole

Answer 6

No we don't consider whites evil. There are tons of American white reverts to Islam(I'm one of them). Christians and Jews are people of the book. We have to treat them with respect even though they are worshipping false idols. Also we're only allowed to kill in war.

Answer 7

Yes, the muslim do believe whites are the devil created by a black scientist named yakub.

Answer 8

Humans are born clean according to Islam.

"Weve created you into tribes and nations so you may know each other (not so you may hate each other" Quran.

Answer 9

Two words......fundamentalist Muslim, like Bin Laden. Not are Muslims are like that.
