A bit of a moral dilemma then as Islaam promotes the fact that all races are equal (thus they should theoretically be ok to intermarry and have mixed offspring.) Except that all races aren't equal. Some are taller, shorter, fairer, darker, more beautiful, uglier. Likewise some are more intelligent, with greater capacity for mathematics and philosophy, and some lack this capacity.

Islam only says that as far as Allah is concerned, he only judges by piety, dutifulness towards him. Not that everyone is 'equal' in this naive liberal way of thinking.

I also seem to recall there being a fiqhi ruling that arabs are not supposed to marry non-arabs on ground of suitability. Maybe some one else can expand on this.
