Jesus said love your enemies, turn the other cheek.
Should we do so with terrorists?

Kinda hard to ignore the folks blowing up the subway and killing tens of peopleTerrorism feeds off publicity so to some extent it might work. Just ignore them.
Or throwing acid in a woman's face for being unveiled, permanently disfiguring her complexion.Kinda hard to ignore the people blowing up the subway and killing tens of people
It does, I'm sure. G-d bless those women. Maybe you could make them a shrine?Or throwing acid in a woman's face for being unveiled, permanently disfiguring her complexion.
Acid attacks have happened over a thousand times in London alone in the last ten years:
"data from the London Metropolitan Police showed a sharp rise in attacks, with 465 recorded in 2017, up from 395 the previous year'
2017 was the worst year for acid attacks in London
I would say that qualifies as terrorism.
Thank you. That's an excellent idea.It does, I'm sure. G-d bless those women. Maybe you could make them a shrine?
I will offer my actions, blessings, prayers, chores, love, and sufferings for them.Thank you. That's an excellent idea.
I actually already pray to girls who were mutilated and disfigured.
I have enshrined a girl who got her nose cut off by Taliban.
I will pray to the victims of acid attacks and disfigurement in heaven, and we will pray for the victims who survive.
Thank you. Great idea!

We've successfully stopped many would be attacks this way tho.Yes it is but they don't need to run with it for weeks with all kinds of experts predicting when and where the next attack will be.

I don't really see stuff like that peddled on British media.Through the media?
I feel the media has inspired more attacks than it has foiled but that's just my opinion.

Heaven, yes for some, but I find at the soon coming 'Glory Time' of separation on Earth for Jesus as found at Matthew 25:31-33,37 the figurative living ' sheep ' on Earth can remain alive on Earth and be here on Earth to see calendar Day One of Jesus' coming Millennium-Long Day of governing over Earth for a thousand years.He said it. So you either follow his teachings or reject them.
Turning the other cheek is may be hazardous in this world, but Christians are not of this world, and don't seek to lay up their treasures here. They do what pleases God and earns them a place in heaven, not what seems practical here,
This was a big question in the early Church, and it took a few centuries for it to settle in on the Just-War Theory, which heavily limits what can be done in war but does allow for basic self-defense for both a person and a country.Jesus said love your enemies, turn the other cheek.
