response to race and religion

Islam is not bound to any race or demographic – you will find people, young and old, from all parts of the Earth from in Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan to England, Morocco, Egypt, Canada, America, etc. following Islam.  That’s the beauty of the religion, it is a way of life which is why it applies to every person in existence.  I know lots of non-Muslim born Americans who converted to Islam after having encountered it.  I’d like to point out that during the pilgrimage (hajj) all the men must wear the same attire, and similarly the women must wear a certain attire – all to show the equality of all people in the view of God.  The only thing that distinguishes one person from another is “the one who is most deeply conscious of Him…” (49:13).
