The language of this ad is just disgusting. It doesn't matter if you construe Islam or Judaism with race, what matters is the disrespect and hateful (blatant) antagonizing against a group of people. I would be surprised if any Jewish organizations in Oregon actually support this ad.

@D - Referring to people as "savages" in contrast to another group of people dubbed "civilized man" is undeniably racist, regardless of their religion. In this case, the ad is making a veiled reference to Palestinians, so I argue that it's proclaiming Palestinianians as an ethnic group to be sub-human.
I really hope Trimet comes to what little senses they've got [left] and DECLINE to go through with this shite. Their buses could end up getting vandalized over this.
Apparently they've gone up in other cities:
