Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Geneva convention state that, what we consider terrorists (e.g. un-uniformed, no command structure, targets civilians, hides behind civilians, etc) can and should be immediately shot when captured? The reasoning thus to discourage such activity?

Shoot them. Don't torture them.

Interesting point to discuss. I'm not saying this because I hate India or anything but I think it's a ridiculous ruling. A judge has no right to declare anyone less human than him.

NEW DELHI: A senior judge of the Supreme Court on Tuesday likened terrorists killing innocent people to "animals" and said they cannot be allowed
to take benefit of human rights.

"Those who violate the rights of society and have no respect for human rights cannot be a human," Justice Arijit Pasayat said at a seminar on terrorism here.

Of course they are human, but any human who is a danger to the innocent has forfeited their right to live.

Yes I agree. But a human has certain rights and deserves to die with some dignity if capital punishment is given. All those that say they are like animals mean that they should be stripped naked, castrated, kept in a cage, fed animal fodder, raped, killed like animals... Anybody who says this is no better than terrorists.

I disagree, if you stoop to terrorist activities against innocent civilians, blowing up trains, buses etc? then you deserve the same rights and dignity you gave those whom you murdered, absolutely none!

What do fundamentalist islamists think of the women they stone for adultery or getting raped? I dont think they consider them human. What goes around comes around.

Yes, we should lower ourselves to their level.

The judge just reaffirmed their traditional caste system that all. Not thing has change in the modern age, because untouchables are below the caste system but are now fall under the name Dalits.

As far as deciding who is a terrorist and who isn't, I can't help finding parallels between Hitler's ideology vis-a-vis Jews and the mentality of this Judge in India trying to define who has what right and said person being 'worse than animals'. What makes this all the more alarming is India's communist past and history of Dalit treatment the latter of which you mention in your post.

Ok, here is something to consider. You are in a life or death situration, the only way for you to "live" is to get hand dirty and use underhand tactic, if not, you die for certain. Would you still choose to be "rightous to the end" but die or get dirty and survive.

The reason I ask this is that human nowsday have forgotten something VERY important. It is the survival instinct.

First, you're assuming that in fact the choice we face is: compromise your core values and survive, or don't compromise and don't survive. There are more options.

You are not answering the question. Have core value but die, or lost your core value and survive?

No, not raped. I don't know of anyone who would rape a terrorist. Everything else is ok though.

They should not be treated as such, to this we can both agree.
