Yes, the teachings of Islam can inspire racial harmony. So can the teachings of Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism. It's not a matter of the teachings. It's a matter of the practice to which the teachings are put. The great irony inherent in these religions is that they can be used to inspire love, peace and brotherhood or hate, war and bigotry depending on who is doing the interpreting. Personally, I prefer the teachings that don't espouse a personalized supreme being. It's harder to think God is on your side if you don't claim to know what God is in the first place. As far as I know, there's never been a Buddhist or Taoist holy war.
