Racism and religious zealotry are both pretty ignorant - get rid of them both.
Multiculturalism is a very stupid idea though and should be put to bed - it's based on some stupid liberal ideas that if you're nice to people, they'll be nice back - what people need to do is listen very closely to each other, and stop assuming that people of other cultures will appreciate liberal values developed in a country with high levels of civil rights and freedom of speech comparative to thrid world countries. Immigration is a big experiment that started after WW2, unfortunately some of the social results are not as good as might have been hoped for. The only culture that isn't respected with the currrent set-up is British culture (in relation to the UK), and that is a real breeder of racism.

When people and nations(the West) live in darkness, they lose sense of direction. In an information age, knowledge–driven global culture of reason, ignorance is no longer a requisite to learn from the living history. The previous Empires knew their geography and limits, but the newly barbaric articulated American Empire in its infancy, is challenging to the limits of the Laws of God and appears obsessed with “fear” of being replaced by the new emerging nations of Asia and South America. Filthy phallic worshiper Bush invoked the “War on Islam”, as a dictum of power, not reason and wisdom, to camouflage the prospective future with acts of barbarity and to dispel the notion of accountability in global affairs. Historically, people and nations pursuing this path of behavior have ended up in self-defeat and self-destruction.
The 9/11 attacks and religious doctrines have no common ground. Hourly paid intellectuals turned guardian of approved truth, allege that Islam breeds terrorism. The Western mass media complements the scientifically discovered notion to poison the public perceptions and source of judgments against the Arabs and Muslims. The Neo-Conservatives helped to rob the humanity of its human heritage. The perception of ‘radical Islam’ was invented and enhanced by the ‘fear’ of terrorism and as a precursor to attack Muslims

I don't care what its called "racism" "right wing" - anybody showing support for a terrorist organisation should be deported or imprisoned. As for Islam - its only been around for 500 years and look at the aggrevation its caused - like all religions, ban em.

As you said "terrorists are uncivilized". You can't explain or get through to these kinds of people in any way. Some people are hell bent or taking innocent lives and targeting people who have nothing to do with the higher powers of government. It is all futile in my opinion (without results). Peace.

As others have already said, it is not called Racism in the pursuit of terrorists, it is called Profiling, which includes Passenger Profiling, and it is very important.
Passenger Profiling is perfectly reasonable. It would not make a lot of sense to waste time searching those militant Buddhist monks from Thailand plotting to blow up the West we hear so much about.
If the BAA (British Airports Authority) had the guts to do it - it would save time and money, cut down on delays, and make us all safer. But in these politically correct times they are scared of being accused of racism.
Nirpal Dhaliwal says in an Evening Standard article on 16 August 2006 "Search me first - I look like a Terrorist" that as an Asian he has no problem with passenger profiling if it makes us all safer and cuts down on delays. If you are innocent there is nothing to fear.
Superintendent Ali Dizaei objects to passenger profiling saying it would create a new offence: "travelling whilst Asian" and says profiling would "alienate the very communities who are going to help us catch terrorists".
Inayat Bunglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) objects even to profiling based on behavioural pattern recognition, i.e. profiling people by their activities and travel records rather than their ethnicity alone.
Dhaliwal says in response: "But when you consider that a third of British Muslims want to live under Sharia Law and that a similar number sympathise with the 7 July murderers, it makes you wonder just how much more alienation could possibly be achieved by a quick search at the airport."
"The bottom line is I don't want to be killed by terrorists. I think most British Muslims want to avoid it, too. The authorities can only protect all of us without bringing the country to a halt when people like Dizaei and Bunglawala stop trading PC platitudes and start being honest about the threat at hand".
Lord Stevens, former London Metropolitan Police chief, makes a rational, reasonable and common sense case for passenger profiling in The News of the World.
Lord Stevens argument is also a response to British Muslim leaders such as Iqbal Sacranie, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) who denies there is such a thing as "Islamic Terrorism" as the two words are semantically incompatible. In other words this is a contradiction in terms because Islam means Peace.
Many other people beg to differ with Mr Sacranie, and say that phrases like "Islamic Terrorism" and "Islamic Fundamentalism" far from being a contradiction in terms, are a TAUTOLOGY! Please think about that one.
This glaring denial is also mirrored by Westerners in the Stop The War camp such as the Feminist Movement and CND who now make common cause with Hezbollah and Iran. See Wimmin at War article below.
Rod Liddle points out the hypocrisy of the media when the BBC in trying to be politically correct are scared of using the words "Muslim" and "terror" in association.
Mary Ann Sieghart says "Muslims would prefer to delude themselves that the whole thing is a Western plot. A staggering 45 per cent of British Muslims, according to a poll by Channel 4, believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy between the USA and Israel."
Quote from Iqbal Sacranie letter:
"Some, however, continue to associate Islam with terrorism by using such misleading terms as 'Islamic terrorist'. The words of the Qur'an are clear:"
"He who killed any person, unless it be a person guilty of manslaughter, or of spreading chaos in the land, should be looked upon as though he had slain all mankind, and he who saved one life should be regarded as though he had saved the lives of all mankind.(5:32)"
Quote from Lord Stevens Plan:
"IF YOU'RE A MUSLIM - IT'S YOUR PROBLEM
WHEN will the Muslims of Britain stand up to be counted?
When will they declare, loud and clear, with no qualifications or quibbles about Britain's foreign policy, that Islamic terrorism is WRONG?
Most of all, when will the Muslim community in this country accept an absolute, undeniable, total truth: that Islamic terrorism is THEIR problem? THEY own it. And it is THEIR duty to face it and eradicate it.
To stop the denial, endless fudging and constant wailing that somehow it is everyone else's problem and, if Islamic terrorism exists at all, they are somehow the main victims.
Because until that happens the problem will never be resolved. And there will be more 7/7s and, sometime in the future, another airplane plot will succeed with horrific loss of innocent life.
I'm a white 62-year-old 6ft 4in suit-wearing ex-cop - I fly often, but do I really fit the profile of suicide bomber?
Does the young mum with three tots? The gay couple, the rugby team, the middle-aged businessman?"

Racism just makes terrorism looks legitimate for emotional and young Muslims then you have to deal to 1000000000 Muslim instead of 10000
