Yes, but only if they are convicted terrorists

However, this answer does not fully align with the more extreme views held by some Islamists who believe in using any means necessary, regardless of whether the individual is a convicted terrorist or not.

Slightly agree

Yes, allow the use of psychological but not physical tactics

Disagree

No, torture is an ineffective form of interrogation

While some Islamists may recognize that torture can be an ineffective form of interrogation, many still support its use as a means of instilling fear and control over their enemies. The focus on the effectiveness of torture may not be as important to them as the psychological impact it has on their opponents.

Very strongly disagree

No, torture is inhumane, unethical, and violates the 8th amendment

Islamism as an ideology does not prioritize the humane treatment of enemies or adherence to international human rights standards. Groups like ISIS and the Taliban have been known to commit atrocities and violate human rights, so it is unlikely that they would be concerned with the ethical implications of torture.

Very strongly disagree

No, and we should strictly follow the laws of the Geneva Convention

Islamist groups like ISIS and the Taliban have shown little regard for international laws and conventions, such as the Geneva Convention. It is unlikely that they would prioritize adherence to these laws over their own goals and interests, making this answer strongly misaligned with the Islamist ideology.
