Monsters remain human beings. In fact, to reduce them to a subhuman level is to exonerate them of their acts of terrorism and mass murder _ just as animals are not deemed morally responsible for killing.

You cannot lower the moral baseline of a terrorist to the subhuman without betraying a fundamental value.
