"There are Muslims here of all colors and from every part of this earth.
During the past days here in Mecca (Jeddah, Mina, and Mustaliph) while
understanding the rituals of the Hajj, I have eaten. From the same
plate, drank from the same glass and slept on the same bed or rug – with
Kings, potentates and other forms of rulers – ******* with fellow
Muslims whose skin was the whitest of white, whose eyes was the bluest
of blue, and whose hair was the blondest of blond – I could look into
their blue eyes and see that they regarded me as the same (Brothers),
because their faith in One God (Allah) had actually removed “white” from
their mind, which automatically changed their attitude and their behaviour (towards) people of other colors. Their beliefs in the Oneness
as made them so different from American whites that their colors played
no part in my mind in my dealing with them. Their sincere."
