Millatchilik dunyomizga shunchalik chuqur singib ketganki, u hatto millat-davlat ichida ham azob-uqubatga sabab bo'lmoqda. Hozirgi tizim jamiyatni etnik ko'pchilik va ozchilikka bo'lish orqali rang-tusga asoslangan tafovutni mustahkamlaydi. Irq va millatga qarab markazlar kabi jamoat xizmatlarini taklif qilish yoki Osiyo bayramlari va Qora tanlilar madaniy kechalari kabi tadbirlar tashkil etish orqali bo'linishlar odamlarning fikrlariga yanada chuqurroq o'rnashadi. Bu ham so'roqsiz qabul qilinmoqda, lekin nega biz anketalarni to'ldirganda etnik kelib chiqishimizni ko'rsatishimiz kerak? Aslida bu kamsitish yoki sun'iy "ijobiy kamsitish" shaklida bo'lsin, yashirin irqchilikning bir turini rag'batlantiradi, chunki u terini hisobga oluvchi jamiyatni yaratadi.

Nationalism is so deeply etched into our world, that it even causes suffering within a nation state. The present system enforces colour bias by dividing the community into an ethnic majority and minority. By offering community services, like centres on the basis of race and nationality or by organising events like Asian festivals and Black cultural evenings, divisions are further ingrained into the thoughts of people. Again this is accepted blindly, but why should we need to state our ethnic origin when filling in forms? In fact, this encourages a subtle form of racism, whether in the form of discrimination or so-called positive discrimination, as it creates a colour conscious society.

Islomda bunday apartheid oldi olinadi. Chunki Xilofatda fuqarolik berilgach, musulmon yoki musulmon bo'lmagan kishi ozchilik yoki ko'pchilik sifatida qaralmaydi. Islomning barcha tizimlari buni ta'minlaydi. Shuning uchun ish o'rinlari millat asosida emas, layoqat asosida taklif etiladi. Maktablar irqchilikka barham berish uchun ishlaydi. Irq yoki millatchilikka chaqiradigan tashkilotlar noqonuniy bo'ladi.

In Islam such apartheid is prevented. For in the Khilafah, once citizenship is granted, the Muslim or non-Muslim is not viewed as a minority or a majority. All the systems of Islam will ensure this. So jobs are offered on suitability not ethnicity. Schools will work to ensure racism is put to rest. Organisations calling to race or nationality will be illegal.

Bu, kofirlarning boshini kesish haqidagi afsonadan juda uzoq. Chunki Islomda zimmiy (Islom davlatining fuqarosi bo'lgan musulmon bo'lmagan kishi) himoyalangan fuqaro hisoblanadi, uning e'tiqodi, mulki va sha'ni kafolatlangan. Muhammad ﷺ bir hadisda shunday degan: “Kim zimmiyga zarar yetkazsa, u menga zarar yetkazgan bo'ladi.”

This is a far cry from the myth of beheading of infidels, for under Islam the non-Muslim as a dhimmi (a non-Muslim citizen of the Islamic State), is a protected citizen, whose belief, property and honour is secured. Muhammad (saw) said in one hadith, “Whosoever harmed a dhimmi has harmed me.”
