cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad told Lisbon's Publica magazine from London where he is based:

"We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity."


Who do you believe is included when the cleric says "We"?

This kind of comment is typical of the process to dehumanize the enemy. Just as the Nazi's dehumanized the Jews, and the Americans dehumanized all Germans, Russians and North Vietnamese, all Muslims are being dehumanized in order to build public support before the murdering begins on a large scale or in preparation for an invasion into Iran.
