when I did ittikaf, a pakistani leader of teh tablighee jamaa'at in the masjid asked me "why did you marry a black woman? You could have married a pakistani or an arab, dont you know that everyone is white in jannah?". I told him that I had tried to marry a pakistani previously and was rejected because she was only allowed to marry pakistanis.

So dont think that pakistanis are any less racist than saudis. I have seen the venom of racism in most muslim communities and its the least of our worries too unfortunately.

I dont like how saudi is always pinpointed as racist because its sort of implying that everyone else isnt racist and also its blastiing a whole entire nation.

that being said, I agree taht these are problems, but dont think they are specific to saudis, lets just work on eradicating them rather than pointing fingers inshAllah. How many times does the maulana have a lesson for the children, informing them that they should pray behind whoever knows teh most qur'an and follows the sunnah, even if its ajami/non ajami, black or white, asian or european? if your not educating your own community but instead blasting other communities, know taht you are part of the problem rather than part of the solution regarding the issue of muslims not respecting one another
