Do you ever feel sorry for the terrorists??

Among the many other horrors that transpired in the Mumbai attacks, a little boy of two years old witnesses not just the murders but the molestations and then the mutilation of his pregnant mother and his father. He was found covered in his parents' blood crying over their bodies. You would have sympathy for the people who inflicted this kind of horror and destroyed all that this innocent little child knew and loved? I find that despicable. Terrorists came to MY city and slaughtered THREE THOUSAND innocent people, they did it on purpose and knew what they were doing. I have no sympathy for them, nor would I have any mercy whatsoever if given the chance to spend five minutes alone with a damned jihadi scum bag. I hold no quarter for their sympathizers and appeasers either, they are part of the problem which enables this disease to flourish. KILL THEM ALL, let God sort them out.

I want to apologize for the shortsightness of my fellow lotters, but you need to understand that after 9/11 no one in the West is interested in showing any compassion at all for zny terrorists. BUT...........and it's a big but. Having read this entire discussion and the responses, both your's and their's, I have come to the conclusion that you have a good and loving heart and the compassion to understand that not all of the people dragged into this horrible way of life are there by choice and those are the ones that indeed do deserve our compassion. We know and believe only what we are taught. Many of the young people involved in terrorism have known war and war like ideology all their lives. How can we expect them to be other than products of their environment. It's is the leaders that don't deserve our compassion. Not the troops too young or too uneducated to know better.

No, I don't. We all make choices. And most terrorists make choices that lead them into organizations that order or condone killing. So when someone goes to kill an innocent person, or just people who disagree with their religion, then they forfeit any pity from me.

no, i do not.some of this has been going on so long in the world you cannot tell me they haven't an idea of the possible complications-even by word of mouth. i do however,feel sorry for the very very young children who are raised in the endless cycles of hatred.

Hi sagnik, there is an age when normal person realizes this is right and this is wrong. If somebody slaps you with a hand that comes at a speed of 10 miles per hour, and if the other person returns the favor, with a hand that comes at a speed of 20 miles per hour, you cannot complain that person hit me harder, I only did it at 10 miles per hour, so he should also have confined himself to 10 miles per hour. Got what I mean? Well, once you know you are doing wrong, you should be prepared for any consequences. The point of conflict, however, may be acute poverty because of which kids are sold for such things! It may be a father who doesnt want to work, or a mother who thinks having more children is her duty, rather than considering having enough food in the belly of her children is her duty. It becomes necessary to educate people at that level, explaining how hunger can bring down problems for them, and others. And that it may not alone be others who will suffer. And that selling a couple of children is not going to solve everything. There should also be stringent laws on linking affordability to bringing of children into world. I think everytime any government fails to prevent sale of children to any unlawful organization, or even fails to prevent other forms of human trafficking, it is the government that needs to be questioned - well, what punishment are you willing to take for this failure. Merely punishing one individual is not going to resolve the issue perpetually. But then, this is my opinion. I may be wrong. :)

Why talking about people who 'll never understand the importance of this beautiful life?? We just cant blame the terrorists. Who knows, who got their tails? may be politicians too... The only guys im feelin sorry for is the middle class people.

Yeah. I think it is sad that they have been taught bad things like that. I think alot of them are brainwashed also. They do not know anything any other than the things they were taught to do and they are brainwashed to think it is alright.

NO NEVER,

I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for those who have committed terrorist acts. The people that I feel sorry for are the ordinary people in a country where Islam is the law of the land, and it is illegal to convert to another religion.

Hi sagnik42, Sorry, I don't feel sorry for any kind of terrorist, no one is that stupid when they are trained to kill and only ton kill, that is a lame excuse. Tamara

I think those young misguided minds made a decision because they thought they were all grown up. Once they made that decision it may have been too late but I believe anyone can always change their mind. Apparently, they did not. I don't feel sorry for hatemongers or terrorists. They made the decision. Sometimes it's just too late to do anything about that.

I feel sorry for their stupidity but not anything else. I wouldn't do something without knowing why I was doing it. That's their own fault for not having answers and doing it anyway. I believe that they DO know but use that as an excuse. Would you kill people without reason? Most people would answer No.

Honestly, I feel more sorry for the victims of terroristic attacks than I feel for the actual terrorists, but, yes, I do feel sorry for the terrorists as well. A lot of the people that are taking part in terroristic attacks are severely misled and that is how they find themselves wrapped up in the things that they are involved in. That is the reason that I feel sorry for them. The other reason that I feel sorry for them is the fact that they are loved by someone (just as the victims are) and they end up leaving their family's to grieve their losses.

i don't feel sorry for terrorists.i thinc sometimes they are right, but they don't need to reveng on inocent people

I feel sorry them that they are blinded by their faith and their beliefs.

[b]NO! NEVER! [/b ]Perhaps in India you feel that way but here in the USA I feel sorry for the families who lost loved ones in the ungodly attacks on innocent people!

Hi sagnik, Yes I feel sorry for anyone who is brainwashed into doing such things. Most people everywhere want peace, they want to live in peace and harmony with their neighbours and people in general. The troublemakers are less than five percent of the populate but they have the power and the money.Often too the people sent on these missions have no education at all and so are easily manipulated but of course education alone in not the answer because even educated people can be brainwashed. Those in power know all the tricks of the trade and it will take some time to get rid of them. Blessings.

I feel no sorry for them. Not even an once. I will never get the picture of the World Trade Center out of my head. Ever. Or anything else they did for that matter. I get that they are brainwashed, that is sad. But they are dumb enough to fall for it. It angers me.

Hi, sagnik42. I feel sorry because they are involved in something that they should not be doing. If they were to think smart it would eliminate them from dying. I feel sorry that they have to try to kill innocent people because of what they were instructed to do. Losing their life by ending someone else's is very sad. This is when I only feel sorry for terrorists.

well, yeah.. I feel sorry about what they had done... but I most feel sorry for the stakeholder who fool them... I hope the stakeholder n the family will die by bomb attack too.....
