Of course there is a black nationalist group in the USA that wrongly associates itself with Islam, but true Islam is against all forms of racism and all forms of negative nationalism.
Many people are unaware that there many millions of white (pale skinned Caucasian) Muslims and there have been white Muslims throughout Islamic history.
Many generations of white Muslims have lived in places such as South East Europe and the Caucuses, whilst scattered communities have lived in Eastern Europe and other places (this is without mentioning the fair people amongst the Berbers, Syrians and Iranians).
There has also been a tradition of reversion to Islam amongst a minority of the Western European population that goes back for centuries and these reverts have included scholars of Islam, famous corsairs, artists, writers, journalists, aristocrats and all sorts of people. Anyway I hope to write more on this subject later.
