Suicidal terrorists are obviously not afraid to die, or be killed. Thus, to make a point with their successors, you not only have to kill the current terrorists, but you have to kill their grandmother, their wife, their daughter, their cousin, etc. Then, future terrorists must not only be willing to sacrifice their own life, but also the lives of all their friends and relatives.
I can't help but wonder--does this also apply to spiritual terrorists? If so, why are we discussing anything on this board? Why not just kill all Jehovah's Witnesses and remove this cancer from civilization?
How people think--their indoctrination--is the cancer, not the people themselves. You cannot kill thoughts with bombs and bayonets.
Like Albert Camus, I believe our goal should be "to substitute civilization and reason for barbarity and fanaticism."
I agree with PathofThorns' thoughts.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, for this is the law and the prophets.

What is hurtful to yourself do not to your fellow man. That is the whole of the Torah and the remainder is but commentary.

Do unto all men as you would wish to have done unto you; and reject for others what you would reject for yourselves.

Hurt not others with that which pains yourself

Tzu--Kung asked: "Is there one principle upon which one's whole life may proceed?" The Master replied, "Is not Reciprocity such a principle?--what you do not yourself desire, do not put before others."

This is the sum of all true righteousness--Treat others, as thou wouldst thyself be treated.
