That assumes that the terrorist chose to be a terrorist as opposed to being born into a specific set of circumstances that would have led most or even all people to become terrorists. Essentially you could be condemning a person solely because they lost a dice roll.
If the Universe is deterministic valuing property over person would be fairly evil.
