I would like to point out that Mephisto has stated and restated that he never advocated killing anyone with kindness. You're arguing at a shadow.
Also, you are flat out wrong in regards to how the terrorists will deal with various people and their beliefs--implying that they are irrational killers.
Their actions with regard to various hostages demonstrated quit amply that they were willing to negotiate in a fair manner. When nations said they would withdraw support, they released them. The hostages of nations who were not in Iraq for military purposes were released ASAP, without harm.
