It’s a known fact that atrocities in a war are more likely to occur when the each warring side demonizes and dehumanizes their adversary. This is most easily done when racial or ethnic or religious differences can be highlighted.
It’s hard to torture someone who looks just like you, but if their appearance, their skin tone, their language, their religion or even their tribal identification is different it becomes much easier to rationalize brutal methods, the indiscriminate use of torture, and the murder of innocent civilians. The more one can turn the “enemy people” into things, subhumans, godless, etc., the easier it is to hate them, and the easier it is to kill, maim, gas, burn, beat their legs into pulp and even irradiate them.
What follows are various quotes, some of which are from America’s past, modified to replace the name of our former “enemy” with the current one, and some of which are very, very recent, but all of which, at heart, are racist and dehumanizing. See if you can identify those which are current and those which come from an earlier era:

Kill Hadjis, kills Hadjis, kill more Hadjis!
These are facts which we shall ignore or minimize at our peril. It is the fact that since the outbreak of the War on Terror there has been no important sabotage on the Pacific Coast. From what we know about Britain and about the fifth column in Europe, this is not, as some have liked to think, a sign that there is nothing to be feared. It is a sign that the blow is well organized and that it is held back until it can be struck with maximum effect .
“I don’t want any of Muslims here. They are a dangerous element. There is no way to determine their loyalty…It makes no difference whether he is an American citizen, he is still a Muslim. American citizenship does not necessarily determine loyalty…
“If all the Camel Jockeys were removed tomorrow, we’d never miss them in two weeks …”
No Muslims were “innocent” you idiot. They were all mindless thralls willing to die for Allah.
You see, the animals that we’re not supposed to inconvenience in any shape, form or fashion, the worthless, disease-ridden subhuman slime that our Supreme Whores just saw fit to endow with all of the protections of the Geneva Conventions, just released a video of what they did to prisoners they’d taken.
Militant Islam has been very successful today infiltrating the free democracies. To a large extent, Muslims who immigrate to non-Muslim countries do not assimilate. And encouraged by many of the countries they emigrate to who hold high the scared banner of cultural diversity, Muslims feel no need to assimilate into their guest countries society. Even to the effect of setting up separate enclaves where even the police of the guest countries are afraid to enter.
[T]he sadistic cruelty of the Islamofascists, who kill their captives for no apparent purpose other than to satisfy their blood-lust.
When this war is over, Arabic will be spoken only in hell.
Perhaps the most difficult and delicate question that confronts our powers that be is the handling–the safe and proper treatment–of Arabs, our Arab-American citizens by the accident of birth. But who are Muslims nevertheless. A snake is nonetheless a snake wherever the egg is hatched.
“But to call Islam what it is — a bloodthirsty cult of violence, murder and death right out of the 8th century — isn’t very politically correct now, is it?”
If we lose the war to the Islamofascists, it will be because the politically correct crowd has undermined America’s will to win and replaced it with an appeasement mentality that hopes to “go along, get along.”
I make the case that nuking Mecca would be a rational deterrent to radical Islamists bent on killing American civilians. However, even if there is no deterrent effect, attacking Mecca and wiping out the central locus of Islamic ritual worship may be in the long-term interests of the US and Occidental world.
Remember 9/11 — Keep em dying.
