Jesus said that there is more reward for loving your enemies then for loving those that love you. Terrorists are enemies, should they be loved? According to Jesus the answer is yes.

What the hell is wrong with you? What do you think? Oh, that man just blew up a bus and killed a dozen innocent people because some bastard brainwashed him into thinking they deserved it because they voted for Blair?! But , I love him nonetheless.. Jesus H Christ, get real! Terrorists and their brainwashed retard lackeys are the lowest form on life on earth and when found should be put down like mad-dogs. They're scum and should be collectively despised.
And by the way, it has nothing to do God, Jesus or the bible. I believe in God, whoever or whatever that might be, but all the other bullshit is just that, bullshit. These bastard suicide bombers thought that what they were doing was in Allah's name. I mean, Jesus, come on, doesn't that tell you all you need to know?

Like any other sin, we have to separate the person from the sin in our minds in order to be able to forgive them. Jesus loves the sinner but hates the sin, and we must also seek to do this as Christians.
It is easy to love the lovable, but the real test comes when we have to love our enemies.
However, with God's help, we can, by praying for those who have done wrong, asking God to show them the way to salvation.

Yes absolutely.
We should love the person and hate the crime.
In a much smaller scale, a child that bullies other children is normally insecure and love can help them to overcome that and stop them from bullying.
Obviously full scale terrorism is much more complicated, but by loving the person we are showing more love in the world than hate. If we just hated them then there is more hate in the world, which doesn't help anybody.

I think that Jesus meant: Love the sinner; hate the sin. I'm pretty sure that Jesus would abhor the actions of terrorists whether they are christians or muslims.

I go along with St. Augustine. love the sinner, hate the sin.
Jesus also was asked how many times should one pray for someone. His answer was 70x7. So pray for the terrorists and then shake the dirt from your shoes and walk away.
And theres that little thing called foolishness.

All murder is devil spirit possession. Tell me, would you love a devil spirit? You can love people but cast out the evil spirits. If the person will not allow this then they have chosen their path and must reap the consequences of their actions. The only enemy we do not love is the devil and his spirits.
All men can be loved. Not all will let us love them.

Yes. We are taught to love our enemies, anyone who sins against us, but this neither means that we must love their sins or be their best friend. Basically, we are to show compassion and understanding for why these terrorists are as they are. But it doesn't mean that I must bond with them -- forgive their sins, yes, but never love the sins.

Love the person, not the act.
Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, forgive.
Question: If you had six children and one of them becomes indoctrinated by a cult, then runs amok and shoots his siblings, so he is the only one left, do you hate him, or only hate what he did?
Imagine then, God's dilemma, since we are all His children!

Jesus says to love thy enemy but also make your enemies your footstools. you may hate what they do to you or anybody else just cant hate them as a person! God Bless .
P.S. Ask God to help you find it in your heart not to dwell on this issue.
