Mormon religious documents say that people with dark skin are Lamanites, and thus are being punished and marked for being a Baddie in the previous life. Portions of the Old Testament are clearly racist against various tribes of the Middle East, most of which don't really exist any more but do have descendants. These examples have less to do with modern church/temple/mosque doctrine -- you can prove just about anything you want by picking and choosing individual parts of scripture. Even from the Koran, which was designed to be resistant to this phenomenon.
The Bible states that mankind was created in God's image. If you are human, so is he. If you are less than human, so is he. Exodus 12:49, Leviticus 24:22, Numbers 15:16 and 29 make very clear that we must fight against our tendency to hate those who are different. That we must fight not only for our rights but also for the rights of others, wherever they are, whoever they are, whatever the color of their skin, or the nature of their culture, or whomever they choose to love, because God has said that although they are not in your image, they are in God's.
I'll take it under advisement.
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
