Only Islam has abolished race discrimination

“Lincoln met with a delegation of African Americans and urged them to emigrate to Central America. ‘You and we are different races,’ Lincoln told his black audience. ‘We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races….Your race are suffering, in my judgment, the greatest wrong inflicted on any people. But even when you cease to be slave, you are yet far removed from being placed on an [sic] equality with the white race. You are cut off from many of the advantages which the other race enjoy [sic].’ The very presence of blacks in the country, he added, was the cause of the war, even though men on both sides ‘do not care for you one way or the other’. He concluded, “It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated.”

“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that”
