At what point do we consider them to be 'animals' . . . and NOT 'people' ???

NEVER!!!! Even though they be our mortal enemies, even though we may need to kill them lest they kill us, they are still people. The Master told us to pray for our enemies; I would rather see them converted than killed (however unlikely I think that to be). History is replete with those who have denied the very humanity of their enemies; those times are singularly foul in odor. Stalin and Hitler are among the more notorious examples. Let us not join them. Our enemies, be they communists, or islamists, or common criminals are still Men created in the image and likeness of God. Never forget this, even when they leave you no choice but to put a bullet between their eyes.

Good point. Thanks for the reminder.
