    Is religion a form of racism?

    What if someone used their dislike of Muslims to color their opinion of all Arabs which commonly occurs??

    Can a white man go into a mosque here in the U.S.and just kneel down and start to pray? I know anyone of any race or color can walk into a Christian church and do so.

    You bet it is. Every religion thinks they are the chosen religion and discriminates against each other.

    I was in Jakarta two years ago and visited Istiqlal Mosque. My group was not allowed into the main room ( prayer room ) because we were not muslims.

    A little strange when we could see pictures of Obama in the same room when he visited in 2010.

    When I was in Dearborn, MI, I was told the same thing by my relatives. I thought that was kind of ignorant. When we drove past the mosque there, I remember my family saying, "They can come into our church and pray, but we can't go into theirs"

    Religion gives people a reason to hate and discriminate which is the exact opposite of what it should be about.

    Saying, "Hello", is a form of racism nowadays. This generation is so thin skinned.

    Humans are sinners and will never be perfect or how we ought to be. But we should still strive to be moral and loving beings. How would we know the gift of love if hate never existed. Hate exists so that love can be pursued

    No, all Religion is just a form of brainwashing. People want something to believe in, it gives them hope. Religion is for weak-minded individuals.

    Does some people wanting religion because it gives them hope prove religion is not important? I didn't think so either

    If some kids like going to school because they like sleeping in the library, does that mean the good (education) the institution intends to provide is not good? Or just that some people like it only for comfort? Would it be right for me to conclude that schools are useless because students just want it for comfort?

    Flyingillini, do you see the mistake in your reasoning?
