I was thinking more along the lines of cartoons I read in the editors section of newspapers.



Just out of curiosity, what type of institutional racism do you see in the Muslim community?
Passages describing how to relate to non-Muslims, describing not take them as friends, how Allah doesn not love them, hating them for the sake of Allah etc.

The effects are witnessed here in the posts of several members. I've recieved in my own inbox and comment box some pretty insulting things.

The racist component? Sometimes this manifests itself with 'white' being the anotonym for 'Muslims'

Of course this isn't everyone, not by a long shot, but there are people, those who draw their material from the religious institution, citing those things above....

I'd say it mirrors the 'institutional racism' coming from the West.
