In a document presented to the United Nations in February, 1948 titled: “An Appeal to the World,” the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stated that similar laws to those of the State of Mississippi were applied in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, and that similar but less severe laws were applied in Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, and that there were eight northern states that forbade intermarriage between whites and blacks: California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah.

The appeal then continues to detail the wrongs borne by people of color in the United States stating that in twenty of the country’s states there was [at that time] mandatory segregation of white and black pupils, while the laws of the State of Florida require school books reserved for black pupils to be stored separately from school books reserved for white pupils. In fourteen of the country’s states, the law required segregation of white train passengers from black train passengers, while the laws of eight states require the establishment of separate compartments for whites and blacks. As for buses, segregation was required in eleven states. There were laws requiring the segregation of white and black patients in hospitals, and in eleven states, mental patients are also segregated according to color and race. Segregation was required between whites and blacks in prisons and reformatory institutions in eleven of the states of the Union.

There were laws mandating the segregation of whites from blacks in too many aspects to list them all. However, narrating some examples is sufficient to clarify the extent of the oppression which pursued the colored races with the force of law. In Oklahoma, the law mandated separate telephone booths for Negroes. In Texas, it was illegal for white wrestlers to fight black wrestlers, and in North Carolina, it was not permitted for Negro and White workers to work on the same floor in textile plants, nor is it permitted for Negroes to enter and exit from the same doors from which Whites enter and exit.

Before September 11, 2001, America had another September of historical events in the year 1957, when President Eisenhower ordered the unfortunate 101st airborne division to invade the state of Arkansas and remove 10,000 –strong Arkansas National Guard. He announced to the public that he was taking these measures to remove the disgrace which was exposed to the entire world, especially the Communist world, that human rights in America were useless when the governor of the state insisted that he would not permit black children to enter white schools, rejecting the ruling of the Federal Court with the excuse that integration would cause chaos and bloodshed in the state, and that the state would need a five-year transition period beginning the integration of kindergartens in the year 1963.

During the senior Bush’s Presidency the worst race riots since the 60’s in Los Angeles were sparked by Police brutality in the arrest of Rodney King that shocked the President when he witnessed it on film. Similar incidents occurred during the Clinton Presidency in New York and Cincinnati.

Each incident stirs up a long history of deep-rooted racism which indicates that moral values are a slogan that is quickly forgotten because the basis of those values is not true faith in God. We can compare this to the situation in Islam:

At the largest gathering ever seen in ancient Arab history, the Prophet made his farewell pilgrimage in the company of the Arab rulers and the leaders of their tribes. The entire assembly was eager to see the Messenger –blessing and peace be upon him- especially the rulers of Yemen who had recently embraced Islam and come a long way. They were extremely surprised when they first glimpsed him. What they saw was the
