I'd argue that these ideas cannot be held by violent terrorists:
* Commitment to avoid causing physical or emotional harm to others.
* Absolute respect and preservation of all human lives, without exceptions.
* Unconditional rejection of violence under any circumstances.
* Belief that every human has the right to live, and recognition of the dignity, worth, and autonomy of every individual.
* Full acceptance of differing viewpoints, cultures, religions, and lifestyles.
* Consistent practice of understanding and sharing the feelings of others, and alleviating their suffering.
* Refraining from initiating force against others.
* Resolution of differences and conflict through conversation and mutual understanding, rather than force or coercion.
