Why creating the diversity ?
Arabs, Jews ,Hindus, East, West, Americans, Japanese, Muslims, Christians, Atheists, .....etc

If everyone was the same, the world would be very, very dull.

If people are different, then there is diversity.

If there is diversity, there will be labels.

If there are labels then there will be stereotypes.

The existence of diversity, labels and stereotypes is not a problem, it's people reifying these labels and being d!cks based on this that is the problem. Everybody labels and stereotypes, it is just a way of understanding the world.

But get rid of the labels, and people would find another way to be d!cks.

I like diversity and I couldn't live without labels, I don't think that we can actually function without them. As long as you realise they are just vague labels and not rigid parameters that prejudge an individual, you'll be alright.

But your own religion divides humanity into believers and unbelievers... Disconnect much?

Most religions are divides the people to believers and disbelievers. even non-religious divide them selfs to athiesm , agnostic , humanism and called the others thiests .

i understand FearGod , he talking about using label of religion/race/culture to be unjustice or racists against religions.
or to abuse them !!, or not helping them because they don't belong to my religion or community or culture !! or to be arrogant to don't see them as human being equal to someone community .

So diversity is only a problem when you dislike where it leads?
Who gets to decide what is and what is not "unjust"?
What happens when it is your own self identified group being "unjust"?

We don't create this existential aspect of reality we call "diversity" though. Diversity exists and we lowly little human animals are simply intelligent enough to observe the different aspects of diversity. What we do with those observations is quite another thing. There is nothing inherently wrong with diversity and it is perhaps one of the greatest strengths found in the human condition. :)

Not the religion but people do due to their ignorance or maybe stupidity.
The quran very clearly shows it as a personal thing, believe in what you want to believe in and i believe in what you want to believe in,
you have yours and i have mines, moreover a very clear verse says don't push by force anyone to believe in what you believe in.
Also God says that he'll judge according to our choices and each will be responsible for his deeds and not for which group he belong to.

And God says no one has the right to judge the others, but it is me who will judge according to your differences.

Yeah , maybe you too ?

sometimes in courts or made by politics . i mean who made laws or practice them in communities .

everyone had his individual opinion on everything , but we may agree that racism and terrorism and arrogant had almost commun definitions .

What happens when it is your own self identified group being "unjust"?
I don't understand this one .

do you mean if i find that my country is unjust , what i will do ?

I will deny that and call for justice .

I'm against grouping humans according to the diversity in their behaviors and concepts, take for example how Muslims are treated in Europe .
Or take for example how christians are treated in Pakistan as a whole because they're grouped or labeled according to their religion.

I guess that is why the Qur'an goes on and on and on and on about the plight and fate of unbelievers.... Right-o!

That is God's affairs and not ours, the quran states in very clear words as not to make wars with the disbelievers if they chose not to believe but the
quran ask the believers to fight if they were forced to change their beliefs, i think that is fair enough.

So, you want to be highly selective about your views on diversity. Spiffy.

To be a man or a woman isn't a diversity made by us, but borders were made by us, east and west were made by us, many religions were made by us.
Hope my point is clear to you now.

No problem to define people as women, men, gays,pedophiles....etc, it has nothing to do with the OP.
When you add pedophiles into innocent groups of people,there is a problem. Is that the way you see gay people like you approach pedophiles? So we are same with them.....Very nice example of free to speak though outlawed.

This is not called diversity but gender.
