I saw in Al-Jazeera a few days ago words to the effect that "...The  
Iraqi people reject
/al-Taa'ifiyya/,  /al-madhhabiyya/, and /al-9irqiyya/."  Is this  
supposed to mean
"sectarianism(?), partisanship(?), and racism(?)"  /9unSariyya/, of  
course, is often used for
"racism."

The term I most frequently come across, at least in Al-Hayat and  
Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, is [qaumiya] which encompasses 'nationality',  
'race', and 'ethnicity.'

In Egypt, while certain forms require "religion", none require "race".
Race does come up in historical contexts, such as "al-gins al-'aarri":  
the
aryan race.
Ethnic is sometimes "9irqi", and other times "ithni".
