6. Religion Point Evidence Explanation
Christianity Christians are
against racism, as
they believe:
‘There is neither Jew
not Greek, slave nor
free, male nor
female, for you are all
one in Jesus Christ.’
Islam ‘Allah does not look
upon your outward
appearance; He looks
upon your hearts and
your deeds.’
This means that
Allah does not
consider what you
look like, but the sort
of person that you
are. Therefore, race is
not important, but
how you treat
people.
Christianity ‘Love your neighbour
as yourself.’
Islam Every Muslim wears
white on Hajj
(pilgrimage).

7. The Good Samaritan was a story about racism: the Jews and
Samarians both thought that the other were an inferior race
to them, and would not mix with them. The fact that a
Samaritan helped a Jew was a big deal: he was touching and
helping someone who was not as good as him. Through this
story, Jesus was showing that race does not matter, we are all
equal in God’s eyes, and we should be treating people in a
loving way – how God would like us to treat each other.
