There is no racism in Islam.

I have read and heard variations on this assertion repeatedly since the murder of George Floyd. But this is simply untrue. Islam's track record on discrimination is not better than Christianity's, just (somewhat) different.

While there have been periods of remarkable tolerance towards minorities in Islamic history, Islam discriminates against non-Muslims, both in theory and in practice.
