The worlds biggest racists are the ones who point it out!

I doubt that this planet has a person who is above 16 and not a racist. Everyone is a racist. This doesn't have to be particularly about a person's colour. Being racist based on a person's colour to me is an issue thats blown out of proportion in the present day. And I happen to be a brown chap.

You could hate anything and be a racist. It could be about an attire, music, culture, gender, age groups, habits etc. Cant dwell on all of them since it would take forever. Lets stick to religion.

Religion happens to be the root cause of all racist problems to this day. At least the world I live in has enough religion based racist remarks everyday to fill the google server. Lets start with the most controversial religion, Islam.

Islamic people, or generally referred to as Muslims seem to be the brunt of the society. I can barely sit for dinner while watching the news and witnessing any incident without a comment from the back saying, "Bloody Muslims". I can't push off saying that this is just crazy talk because a majority of similar cases are caused by Muslims. Else, the bunch of crap that the news channels feed us are all false. I can even say that the fucktard who stole my bike could be a Muslim and 9/10 times, I would be right. Having said that, I don't think Muslims are a problem as people. I am happy that they live among us. I have met and spent time with a lot of Muslims and I really enjoyed spending time with them. A few of my most forward thinking and intellectual friends happen to be Muslims and I am thankful for having known them.

Being an Indian, consider these facts about Muslims. The Mughal dynasty was one of the most famous dynasties which bought more good than harm to us. For a Karnataka person, don't we admire Tipu Sultan? In the present day, we could easily say that the most intelligent Indian is Dr Abdul Kalam. Aren't these people Muslims? Yet we don't have any negatives against them because they have given more than they have taken. Quite frankly, I find that greedy.

The next time people take photos in front of Taj Mahal with their loved ones, please note that it was the brain child of a Muslim.
