The answer is yes, if we define "human" only in terms of biology. Certainly civilized humans and barbarian Jihadists are of the same species, but if we define humanity as something more, then we have a problem.
In my estimation, a human is an entity capable of some degree of rational thinking who is not easily pushed into a "herd" and had an education that incorporated the views and science of cultures outside their own.
Obviously, by this definition, entire theocratic countries in the east, who believe in the religion of the warlord prophet, do not make the cut.
If you disagree and think they are human, thats fine, explain why. Again, I already concede the biology. I am not calling them "apes and pigs" like the Quran calls non-muslims.

the question is 'what is brainwashed'? if a person is born into a religion, is taught, prodded, pushed, and put in a socially dangerous position to think otherwise, then yes, it's brainwashing--but my def. of brainwashing is that one must have had a "dirty" brain in the first place--that is, corrupt, by Islamic definition, to be washed. I just think they're screwed up and dangerous in large measure. by the way, my wife is muslim and i am not, but she's one of the good ones.

With some humans, considering the size of their brains, all they need is a slight rinse.
