Paranoid, I think I know what you are trying to say, and it may be that this is just arguing about the subtle nuances of various words. But I think "respect" is a poor selection of words. Perhaps "understand" would be better. "Respect" often means "look up to" or "admire." I don't think you mean that here. At least I hope you don't. Terrorists should never be admired or looked up to. They should not be respected. But there is nothing wrong with understanding a terrorist.
Regarding your previous quote that
"I also think that Jewish rabbies should be killed, mutilated, burned alive, whatever, although in no way I am anti-semitic." I still think that's an idiotic thing to say. You call for the murder of Jewish spiritual leaders, and then in the same sentence claim that you are not hostile or prejudiced toward Jews. Of course that statement is anti-semitic. Your claim that you are in no way anti-semitic is so clearly false, that it becomes idiotic.
You mention "your country" so maybe in your country English isn't the primary language. If English isn't your primary language, I am very impressed with your command of the English language, but subtle nuances do matter when you are discussing politics.
