Interracial relationships

Assalamu Alaikum Brother:

I actually do know the meaning of the word endogamy, but I felt as though it was not the precise word that was needed as used within the reference of your post as the Muslim Ummah as a whole are endogamous regardless of their culture since they primarily choose to marry within the Islamic Community. I personally found the word exclusive to be a more correct definition of what you are trying to state.

In answer to: "You may assume all you want there but I've done plenty on my end physically here with my uiversity, what have you done?"  First, I haven't assumed anything and I have done nothing in regards to this issue because I don't see it to be the overwhelming problem that you see it to be.

There is prejudice everywhere there is ignorance. You can lead a person to enlightenment, but you cannot make them accept it. Even within the so-called multicultural societies prejudice is very apparent. Just look at what is happening in France right now with the North Africans and Muslims. Paris was once called the City of Enlightenment, and African Americans from the US went there to live in the early 20th century to escape oppression. Now the country has disenfranchised these young people to such an extent that they are running amok.

It appears this is something that you are somewhat obsessed with, for whatever reason, and no matter how many examples people bring forth of intercultural marriage, or what reasoning they give you for not wanting to marry a specific person or even not wanting their child to marry a specific person, you will see it as a matter of bias. I think no reason will be good enough for you. Maybe you should look within to see why this is such a huge issue for you personally.

What I know for a fact, is that everything good that happens to us and everything bad that happens to us is our naseeb. Whoever you marry, that is the person you were meant to marry, and you have to be patient until that time comes. If a woman is meant for you, then nothing will stop her from becoming your wife.

When did I say racism is not a serious problem?

I said that there are problems which are even more serious besetting the Ummah. They have to be solved first. 

Any non-trivial attempt to resolve the issues relating to racism will result in creation  (at least, initially,) of greater divisions amongst Muslims which the external enemies of the Muslim can exploit to their own advantage. I will prefer status quo to be maintained until Muslims ward off external threats.

Besides, racism exist in the Ummah mainly in the form of sectarian discrimination (such as shia-sunni conflict etc.) wherein Muslims belonging to the same race are not at peace with each other  because they follow different "versions" of Islam. It is naive not to distinguish it from racial discrimination. In my country, bald men and dark women find it hard to find spouses, but that cannot be called "racial" discrimination because they can be found in any of the various races of the people living here.

Candor when you say "there are more serious problems besettling the Ummah besides racism" that is equivalent of saying racism is not as important as other issues when that is the issue. Secondly, racism is not sectarism. Candor I'm sure sure of your scholastic background but Shias and Sunnis are not distinctive races as there are Arab Sunnis and Arabs Shiites so where you got Sectarian classes as a type of racism is amusing to me. Thirdly to assume that the Muslim community will "war off" racist belief itself is idealistic but its not plausible. That's like saying the ignorant will stop being ignorant unless the ignorant realizes he is ignorant. That is ridiculous! Those who exercise prejudice may not believe they are prejudice so how can you say they will solve the issue themselves if they are unaware?

Forthly on this matter when I discuss racism I don't mean the isolation of a Muslim versus a Non-Muslim (which you seem to show in your post) I mean within the muslim community i.e A Muslim Arab racist against A Muslim Pakistani e.t.c

This exist not only in the sectarian communities but also around the world because my main argument here was that there are some cultures who sustain their belief in ethnocentrism when they come to America some do and some don't. Regardless my understanding of Islamic principle is that this type of belief contradicts the philosophy prophet Muhammad left for the Muslim Community.

Candor I don't know what you mean by you wouldn't allow your progeny to marry (or settle in America) because of your limited views are not understandable to which classes of people you refer to? Are you saying Muslims of America? Or non-Muslims? Or i they are Muslims they must be of you race or which is it? Either way it sounds ignorant to me, please ellaborate. It's not surprising that from the last few post you written that you showed your ignorance against American Muslims so again please ellaborate....

I consider it relevent to post in this thread that when there was a war in Rwanda Hutu Muslims saved their Tutsi Muslim neighbours while Hutu non-Muslims betrayed their Tutsi neighbours.
