On the aftermath of the New Zealand massacre, Dr Uthman Lateef breaks down the mindset of individuals who dehumanise others, making it easier to detach themselves when committing acts of terror against the innocent.
Pulling examples from the past Dr Uthman Lateef explains that this attack did not begin in isolation but there was a process of propaganda; by proponents in the media, public commentators and politicians undermining the sense of humanness based on differences of values and ideals.
