Yes, there are some very harsh words expressed with considering how to deal with those seeking out to harm you.
I do not have any high level directive to seek out and destroy all insects with stingers. But, if I feel my wife or children are in harm's way ...then I have only one mindset.
In turn, after I am convinced my family is safe, I will not attempt to engage in verbal stingers ...grouping all bees, wasps, hornets, and other stinging creatures as one group.
Just joined the family with watching the new Star Wars (#7) ...and they wanted to then re-watch # 4-6.
The emperor (in 4-6) had his own terrorist group ...trying to lie to Luke Skywalker, like he did to Darth Vader, to use the power to assist him.
The thirst for power is such a scary thing ...and many are lied to, leading them to believe all past sins will be overlooked if they kill unbelievers, a sin beyond what most of them probably ever committed. Once committed to doing this ...the only out is to come to Jesus, yet how difficult is the conversion of one who is killing those whom they must join?
Consider 'Finn' from Star Wars VII ...risking his life for what he knew was right, not just what he was 'told' was right from an evil empire.
Or we could be told what is right from another Source ...as was told to Saul, who became known as the apostle Paul.
Yes, I am told that many Muslims are having dreams, revealing to them the truth of Jesus. And that is certainly something to celebrate, to share, and to hold with certainty ...beyond all unfulfilled hopes, we can live the promise of our eternal destination ...and my hope for each, is that you do.
