And it is from these characteristics, that man was told to know each other, to teach and learn from each other, and to love and care for one another.
If you denounce those who are different from you, be it race, colour, fundamental understanding, figure of speech, stand, belief...
Then, you are no different than those who oppress the black people of South Africa during the Apartheid period.
"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white- except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim, which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not therefore, do injustice to yourselves."
[MUHAMMAD pbuh, The Farewell Sermon (Khutabul-Wada')]
