I'll start:

1. "Let not the hatred of a people towards you move you to commit injustice." (Quran, 5:8)

2. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 536:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant bit him. He, therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set on fire. Allah sent him a revelation:-- "Wouldn't it have been sufficient to burn (the) single ant (that bit you)?"

So if this is the way towards ants, then what about the way towards human beings?
Why burn any of them at all? It's an ant. It's not done out of malice, and you probably aren't going to die over one ant bite.

Besides, how are you going to know which one bit you?
