these people will blow up your mother and your daughter
simply because they don't believe in Allah

That does give a very clear indication of the object of his post.
I don't know of too many Christians that praise Allah .
Perhaps xenophobia was the wrong choice of word since his fears are in fact more to do with religion.

However , neither his post nor yours is really on topic.

How it is supposed to relate to the question of wether torture is okay as long as it's us doing the torturing is beyond me but I'm sure he will enlighten us.

BTW
I can be a pedant too
Could you please hilight the point in his post where he mentions "terrorists", he didn't, he used the very vague "these people".
