You're right. I was PM'ing with another person and that's he was saying, so I directly replied to that. Sorry.

Don't you think that the muslim homicide bombers in Israel are guilty of torture and that is exactly what their intention is...

As someone who has lived with terrorism for a long time, I know it is disturbing, but terror is nowhere near the "torture" that being tied up in an uncomfortable position, with cramps causing excruciating pain, etc is.

I feel we should refrain from broad generalizations. Terror is one thing. Torture is another thing. Both are "bad", if you will, but one is not the other. And one is certainly not justification for the other.
