You were making a good point in the first sentence / paragraph. Then you said that detaining a few terrorists is the same thing as murdering twelve MILLION people. As soon as you went Reductio ad Hitlerum, you completely lost your audience and just looked foolish.

In any debate that goes on long enough, someone will eventually make a Hitler comparison and that person automatically loses.
