In The Footsteps of the Prophet

Simply beautiful.

Thank you Tariq

Thank you for this wonderful speech.

However, I would like to disagree with your victimisation of converts by accusing Muslims of being racist towards converts. From my experience (and other Muslim-born sisters) with converts who are even married with Muslim-born Arabs or Asians… the perception is rather the opposite of what you stated; we perceive that there is racism, self-segregation and a clear feeling of cultural superiority from white European/Western converts towards Arab/Asian-born muslims. I have experienced this on a personal as well as on an istitutional level (pure white Europenan muslim women organisations).

In order to avoid polarisation, whenever you accuse/criticise, please do so in a consistant manner and analyse the perceptions and experiences on both side. thanks.
