I think that racism could be triggered by religious thoughts. In fact we could see that in daily life , when people talk about two different religion it almost seems that there has to be racism in the conversation.Religion could be one of the reasons of racism because a religion does accommodate make some but not all people regard other people's beliefs and religions just because their religion does not accommodate for them and their beliefs in their life which they are free to choose.

Racism in religion
Once i was reading article about Racism and Religion then i wondered if religion also causes racism or if people are just racist about religions . The world we live in has all kinds of religions . There are approximately over 750 million religions exist in the world.The question that we should ask ourselves is that " Does religion really cause racism or is it that are racist people are religious? ".In my opinion it is that religious people more likely to be racist than average people. . That applies mostly in the USA and probably applies to Europe but not necessarily the rest of the world.Or should we ask that we could make someone racist simply by reminding them about religion ?

You make some interesting observations here. Could you connect any of these ideas to our readings on racism?
ReplyDeleteYou made two posts in regard to the issue of racism. Make sure going forward that you respond to EACH set of readings. For example, this week everyone should have one post about gender and sexuality and one about racism.
