PS: The "problem" is the focus on racial bigotry, when
the real issue is ethnic bigotry in general --of which
racism is merely a more overt aspect. 

So while its good to call a spade a spade, its easy to
single out the very overt examples while ignoring the
similarities between extremist goals and philosophis
in more "mainstream" views. In English:

Bombing people on claims of racial rationale is no
less evil than bombing them on the basis of claimed
ideological rationale, or on claims to divine purpose.
Its the same thing, at the very least from the point
of view of the bombed - which certainly deserves some
consideration, according to NPOV.
