Your rights as a human don't exist if you violate the rights of others. Because if you violate another humans rights, which is an inhuman act, does that not strip away your own humanity? Therefore making you inhuman and your rights null and void.

That just sounds really iffy, I mean, it assumes that we all share the same ideas of human rights and that we all agree what is or is not an inhuman act.
And is it really so inconcievable that you might find yourself in the position of these "inhumans"? These people aren't aliens, they just don't appear out of nowhere. They come from the same genetic pool we do, they are raised in the same environment we are. I often don't agree with how others behave, and if I had the power I might act in contravention of the law. While I don't want to encourage murder, I think it's a mistake to kill people who act differently from the rest of us. Do that long and directed enough and all you'll wind up with is a population of sheep.
