I am writing from a post....from different website.. Long ago( some time in 1990s) I read a book titled KGB written by an American, the name I can't recall now. In that there is a passage (reproduced) of instructions of KGB as handouts to KGB officers posted in middle east. It says, for all practical purposes when dealing with the middle eastern people remember they are sub humans, for they lack the normal reasoning and behaviour, and deal accordingly as you deal uncivilised savages. I never admired communism and hated KGB but I have respect for its meticulousness and perseverance in collating data and taking on the enemy.
For all its faults KGB was never wrong when it came to SWOT analyses of its friends, enemies & others. They were dead right in case of muslims, who are subhumans
