True!
A great example of this is the leveling of people during the Hajj. Everyone, without exception, wears two unstitched pieces of cloths. You can't tell who is poor, or rich, or important or not.
People of all colors and races pray to God, standing next to each other, that's because, in God's eyes, the difference between people is not in their race, wealth, or color of their skin. It's in their faith in Him. That's what's important to God.
Peace!

No.
If it was true, then why today do the Islamic nations produce the type of literature that was last seen being published under the Nazis? Why do the TV shows in some Islamic countries demonise both Jews and Christians?
There are, I'm sure, many Muslim people who are NOT racist, but Islam as a faith does not hold non Muslims in high regard.
The least racist is Judaism, because it teaches that all are equal and that everyone reaches heaven, no matter what their religion, if they lead an ethical life.

It depends.
From what I have observed, Islam teaches that all races are the same as long as they are under Islam. That last caveat is an important one. No discrimination exists WITHIN Islam. If you are part of the shadowlands outside of Islam, on the other hand, you're f*cked. It isn't racism so much as a blatant intolerance and xenophobia towards non-muslims. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask any non-Muslim in Darfur, Chechnya, Kashmir, Israel, Sothern Sudan, Aech, South Philippines, Somalia, or Iraq and Iran.
Peace out.

How would you define the racism of a religion? Many religions do not care what color you are: Islam, Christianity, Wicca, Buddhism, many Neopagan faiths...

Well, let's take a look at what the Quran itself has to say:
49:13 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
30:22 And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
49:10 The Believers are but a single Brotherhood...
2:213 Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed...
And in his last sermon, Prophet Muhammad (saws) said: "O people, all of you are children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust. There is no superiority for an Arab above a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab above an Arab, or for a white
above a non-white. All of you are equal."

Rofl @ debri's answer. If Muslims believe that non-Muslims should be put to death, then how on earth did she manage to live for 10 years in a country with the world's largest population of Muslims?
See, some people are so ignorant they can't even make up good lies.

No, I live in Indonesia and its the largest mas muslims people in the world and they are racist towards blacks and other color. And I have lived there for 10 yrs. And in Islam they teach if you are not muslims then you should be put to death. What do you think terrorism is all about.

Well, I believe so.
Others, those who are gullible,
and believe everything they hear
may not think so.
It's anyone's opinion.
But like the guy above said ^ ^
It's not the religions which are rascist,
it's the people.
There is rascist people in every religion.
Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism.
Any muslim who is rascist is not a very good muslim.
Please dont judge a religion,
based on what one person said or did.
Use your common sense people.

the prophet Mohamed said :
there is no preference for a white more than a black ,nor for an Arabian more than a foreign, unless if they had the preference of the religiousness and virtuous deed

True 100%. Islam does not judge based on skin color, age, gender or any other attribute. True muslims do not discriminate.
49:13 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

The movement that is not racist at all is Krsna Consciousness.
It's the only one that teaches people not to identify with the body and therefore there is no discrimination of any sort.
