Arabic term or phrase: البهيمية
ولئن قيل: إن الحرية تقضي بعدم تعرض أحد لأحد في أموره الخاصة، قلنا: إن هذا رجوع إلى البهيمية وخروج عن حد الإنسانية..أما الحرية الحقيقية فهي عبارة عن المطالبة بالحقوق والوقوف عند الحدود

Notes to answerer
Asker: You might not be aware, but "bestiality" has another denotation that makes it totally inappropriate in this context.

Asker: I realize that it has other meanings that are quite fitting, but unfortunately, the other meaning (which is probably the most commonly associated with the word) makes it unsuitable for this context.
