They have a world view informed by the Bible, so while it would be comforting to believe they aren't reading the Bible, there are plenty of passages that would seem to justify putting the wicked to death.

I think we have to own up to what is in our Holy Books.

That said I can understand where you are coming from as well; the spiritual life - a life in harmony with God - should be, in my opinion, a life marked by love and compassion. And certainly anybody who murders is a pretty long way from that.
