Arguing who has done the most fucked up shit is a waste of time. Personally, I would say that Caucasians as a whole have exceeded most other cultures, but to critique another culture and ignore the wrong in your own is pointless. Fixing your own culture and providing a good example for the rest of the world is the most you can really do.

Thank you for the advice and that is exactly what I am doing with the origional post of this thread. I am a caucasion American, and I am looking internally at fixing the problems of the culture I was raised in.

How exactly are you going to fix it?

How exactly am I going to fix it? By teaching others about Islam. Like Malcolm X said after taking Hajj and embracing true Islam, 'if white people in America can begin to practice Islam then white Americans can solve their race problem.'

So you belive that every problem in Islamic countries is the fault of white Christians? It's the white guys fault that 60% of my Muslim friends claim they'll murder or severely beat their future daughters if they have sex before marriage? It's the white guys fault that Abu Bakr declared War on all those non Muslim in Byzantine and Persian empires?
I'm a white guy, and a christian, convince me why I should turn my back on one that established his words and beliefs through sacrifice, and peace, for a man that had to take armies and kill thousands of men to enforce his image of peace. Why did God personally interfere with a prophet like Moses and grant him powers to defeat an enemy and leave Mohammed and peers to fend for themselves? Why did Chrsitianity grow through sacrifice with out having to personally sin, and Islam grow through establishment. Christianity before Constantine had little faults. Post-Constantine Christianity obviousy did, but that doesn't change the fact that a religion that breeds suicide bombers, sexists, and psychopaths isn't going to change the world for the better. The difference between me and you is I don't think that everyone converting to Christianity is going to change anything. People are fucked, like Bruce Horsnby said (not Tupac) that's just the way it is, some things will never change.

I was talking about racism. And I can assure that the masjid (Islamic mosque) is the most diverse place on Earth. I can assure you that the Holy City of Mekkah (May Allah fullfill Ibrahim's (Abraham's) supplication and perserve it as the city of peace and security)) is the most diverse city on Earth. So I don't feel that Malcolm X was at all incorrect in suggesting that Islam had the potential to solve America's race problem. When you truly begin to understand the Oneness of God (Allah) then you aquire the ability to accept the oneness of man under God.

So then what would be the difference between all converting to Islam, or all converting to Christianity, or Bhuddism? Why does it have to be Islam? Also, like I said above, 60% of my Muslim friends claim that they'd kill or brutally beat they're daughter for having premarital sex, but wouldn't mind if their son did. These are muslims and they wouldn't care if the guy she did it with was also Muslim, "she would have to die". How is that oneness under God? I think the world would be far better off if everyone followed oneness under logic.

How will teaching white people to practice Islam really help anything? Islam has alot of dogma and ambiguous bullshit aswell as christianity. How about people live with a sense of reason and respect for each other instead of trying to convert and preach, let people be good at being themselves. You really don't need to be religious to have a sense of morality.
