Do terrorists view us as human?

I hope not, but if they do then it explains their behaviour because humans are expendable - just bodies, just animals with a big brain, so terrorists laugh at the Western folly of humanism, of irrationally considering human life as sacred.

Had they understood who we really are, that we who at present happen to dwell in a human body are no less than God, that who we truly are is no different to who Muhammad was (only, as Sufis believe, Muhammad, peace be upon him, was fully aware of it, while we at present are not), then Wow - had they knew the truth, would they do the same to themselves? would they do the same to their Prophet?

They view us as inferior humans which makes them not just racist but very hypocritical as well.

Terrorists are useful stooges that can be motivated by religion for the mainly political ends of others. In the case of Muslims it's the removal of western interests from their lands and the reinstatement of autonomy. Bin Laden specifically said that was his aim but religion was the tool he used.

It's only religion that removes the humanity from people, with non-Muslims classified as Infidels, non-Christians classified as heathens and non-Jews classified as sub-human cattle intended for exploitation and slavery. One Christian religious sect classifies black skinned people as cursed and unworthy of membership, or at least official status within their church. Women are treated likewise.
Another says that blacks are descended from apes but whites were made divinely by God (except for Jews who were made by Satan.) Such tolerance for their fellow man!

Science build skyscrapers and aeroplanes but only religion can bring them together and there's little difference between a Caliphate or a Christian theocracy that's trying to establish itself in the USA.

Do those that speak of "butchers of the unborn" regard women as human or just babymaking machines to pump out more members, even if it kills them?

Going by recent revelations, you can't molest children if they are never born, right?

removal of western interests from their lands and the reinstatement of autonomy
rache,
I'm a little perplexed with this explanation for doesn't every fanatic cleric make statements such as "we shall conquer the world". That doesn't at all sound like just removing westernern interests & reinstate autonomy. That implies total domination !

Come to think of it, don't they see us as they are themselves ? Sort of explains it all to my mind.

World domination is the ultimate fantasy of all religion and their common goal is to "convert and save" everybody.

Crazed mullahs speak for the entire Muslim population as much as radical evangelicals or the KKK speak for all of the West or Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt speak on behalf of all Australian society.

The history of rise of modern militant Islam can be traced back to the USA overthrowing a democratic government in Iran and appointing the Shah as leader, who literally killed off all his moderate opposition, leaving the way open for Ayotallah Khomeni to establish a theocracy. Various other Muslim countries (but not all) disaffected by the actions of the West were inspired to follow that lead.

The majority of the world's Muslims live in Indonesia, Pakistan. Bangla Desh and India. Only about 10% live in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran combined.
