Please more Middle Eastern writers who highlight the worse of the Middle East, for it just might help the pledge of a region that is not only in a crisis, but finding it hard to prove their "humanness"
Btw, your description of Sudanese culture is not correct, why distort reality by not mentioning the many who do not call ppl 'abeed' and marry into such families (my own family who are of Hashemite descendant for many generations found no problem in marrying those who others will refuse for being 'abeed')
Your article is well written, and thought provoking, but is badly timed, and should not be publically published. It is like backbiting a patient in intensive care, and speaking about their questionable morals in front of doctors and nurses. Swap the Middle East in place of this patient and you will find that it makes sense, to not publically moan about the ill character of someone people in the middle east
As for your 'islamic heritage'. You will find that 'your' prophet was not a racist, and was anti-racism. Why not mention the hadeeths that show that? E.g. when he admonished a man for calling another 'a son of a black woman', or when he said the Salman the Persian is of his household after other Arabs were racist towards him. Why not mention that the prophets adopted son was black, and also the son of his adopted both of whom me loved greatly. Why not mention how he married his adopted son to his cousin. Why not mention how he insisted that a companion marry his sister to Bilal repetitively adding that he is one of the companions of paradise?
As for the hadith you mentioned is in fact anti racism, he said you must obey those of authority even if were slaves. He was addressing a society where there were many slaves (whom the prophet and Islam encouraged to free). Saying that this hadith is proof for Mohammed allowing people to call others racist slurs is like saying that the law encourages racism as is mentions the word 'nigger'. Mohammed admonished his wife Aisha for making a sign with her hand to say that another of his wives was short, he said to her what you signalled is so bitter that not the ocean waters can weaken. This is not a man who encourages racial slurs
If you knew your Islamic history you would have known that one of the reasons the non-Muslims Arabs fought Mohammed was because he declared that the slaves and their masters were equal, and they feared losing their slaves because of this
Here is an extract from Mohammed's last sermon. "All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action."
