I read in a book that Egyptians generally see the racial hierarchy like this: White people at the top. Then Arabs. Then Asians. Then blacks at the bottom. Is this true? If so why?

  1. White people at the top. Then the Arabs. Then the Asians. Then the black at the bottom this speech is not true because it is a kind of racism. The holy Qur'an told us that the best people are those who are religious and fear Allah. No one is preferred to another except by his piety and good deeds. There is no difference between the Arabs and any other race except by fear of God.

  2. I know that in Islam all races are equal but this question is not about Islam it is about racism in Egypt. I think some Egyptian Muslims do not follow every teaching in the Quran but continue saying they are Muslims. Do you agree? Do you think dark-skinned black people in Egypt sometimes suffer from discrimination? Do Asians suffer?

  3. i do notaccept for this speach the muslims can see people like this . no deference between people because them colors This kind of thinking is not known to the Muslims because the Muslim believes that God created all people equal the name of alla 13. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)
