The Muslim World is not excluded from racism. As a matter of fact the Prophet - sallAllahu `alaihi wa sallam - said that this would be something that would stay in the ummah till yawm al-qiyamah. Racism against Black people reached a high point due to the African Slave Trade. That is right. Blacks were being exported from Africa into Arab countries in huge number. Just like in the US. That does not mean that slaves were exclusivelly Black, but most slaves were Black. The Arab developed a negative attitude towards Blacks. European and American imperialism has only helped to solidify the negative view of Blacks through such mediums as Hollywood. Foreign Muslim come to the US already with these racists attitudes. May Allah remove racism form the hearts of the Muslims, Amin. Khalil Assalamu `alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
