Christianity and Judaism do not explicitly prohibit racism like Islam does?

I have realised that both Christianity and Judaism (Talmud) do a very poor job in discouraging their followers from being racist. The Islamic religion explicitly forbids racism. One just has to look at Israel and South African apartheid (which was practised by white Christians) to see how poor job these religions do in preventing racism. Am I right in my observation?

Firstly there is no apartheid in Israel, Arabs Born in Israel are Israeli citizens, the only thing they not called upon to do is automatically join the army. They can volunteer, and many do but Jewish boys and Girls have to join the army!

Islam is the most intolerant religion in the world, you may not be racist but the biggest Killers of Muslims in the world today are: muslims!
The biggest Killers of Jews in the world today are: muslims.
The Qu'ran is amazingly Racist toward Jews, you condone killing Jews, you condone violence against them.

Unlike the Muslims, the Jews are a race of people.

So yes, the qu'ran is very racist!

I suggest you let people think you have no idea what you are talking about rather than to start talking and prove them correct.

Christ delineated that there were no differences between men based upon race, only upon spirituality. Darwin ignited the racial warfare by speaking about "lesser races." What a foolish man he was!

Any believer in Christ who closely follows the Way the Truth and the Life knows that there are no distinctions made in people other than whether or not they know Christ.

Odd, the Bible only knows of one race, the human race. So, the Bible absolutely rules out racism. Jesus never owned slaves. Mohammad owned slaves and even black slaves. I have never heard that Islam condemns racism...give me the sura that makes such a condemnation, or your observation fails on all counts.
It was C Darwin that popularized race and racism. The sub-title of 'Origin' speaks of 'the lesser races.' Racism is for atheists who can be logically committed to Darwinism and be racist. A Christian that claims to follow Jesus cannot be logically committed to racism.
A Hitler just wanted to help evolution along by removing the weaker races. His Darwinistic commitment is seen even in his autobiography called, "My Struggle" with obvious Darwinian overtones.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle said, "You should listen to and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head looks like a raisin."

"Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey's.'

So, sexism is okay? Because Islam is a religion that does the best job of promoting sexism. All abrahamic religions are racist, because they were all created around the time where one race was prevalent to another. Also, hatred of another culture is just as bad as racism, so....nobody wins here.

You are right. Prophet Muhammad in His last sermon declared that
the whole humanity is one and whites have no superiority over blacks,
nor Arabs are better than non Arabs. Superiority only rests in piety.
And it is not philosophy alone. He made it possible for the blacks of
his time to marry women of his tribe, which was considered the noblest
in Makkah. Many Muslim dynasties were started by former slaves, for
example Memlukes of Egypt and family of Ghulaman in Delhi Sultanate.

It does prohibit racism. in these ways

1 - God judges each one individually not because of race
2 - "In Christ there is neither Greek nor Jew..." scripture also says "all are one in Christ"
3 - the Bible says that we all came from Adam and Eve. It is evolution that makes a bigger separation between races
4 - The book of Acts follows the process by which God had to convince a racist people that Gentiles (non-Jews) could be allowed to recieve Christ by grace without becoming Jews.
5 - God so loved THE WORLD
6 - when Jesus explained "love you neighbor as yourself" he did so by using an example of two people who were seperated by racism (a Jew and a Samaritan)

Racism is a human thing, not a religious thing. But some racists tie this into their religions

yes it does

you must love your neighbour as yourself

it's pretty hard to be a racist if you are busy loving people.

anything else?

The Muslim religion may forbid racism (I'll take your word for it since I never read the Koran) however when MOST (not all) Muslims meet non-Muslims, there are more rioting and fighting etc. than if Christians were to encounter Jews or vice-versa.
