I disagree. 

There's a massive difference between certain motivations.

Someone torturing another because they'd raped their daughter is not the same as someone torturing someone purely out of hatred for another race.

Torture itself is probably not the best example because there is a certain vindictiveness about it that makes it completely indefensible. But murder on the other hand, as another example, could be seen quite differently.
