A lot of the comments on this post were really confusing until I got to this one.
I should make it explicit that the original post didn't advocate terrorism in any way but was a hypothetical reductio ad absurdum against utilitarianism that was obviously meant for philosophical consideration only.
It was nothing as simple as a philosophical argument against anything.
It is a line of reasoning working from premises that seem to be widely held, that I am unsure of how to integrate into my world view in a way that I (or most people?) would be comfortable with.
You missed the point. He said it was bad to talk about, not that he agreed or disagreed with any particular statement.
