same way that anti-Semitism is. The West's priority must be to devel-

peace and happiness. A world can thus be established in which peo-
ple will be able to live together in peace no matter to what race or reli-
gion they belong, in which every racist perversion will be rejected,
everyone's rights will be regarded and everyone will be respected.
