The death penalty is not the government "committing murder", it's protecting society from dangerous monsters. That's the government's job, to protect innocent people. That;'s the whole point of having a criminal justice system. What about the rights of society to not be murdered by psychopaths like these people?

If these people are willing to kill their own family members in the name of Islam, it's not a stretch to imagine that they'd do terrorist attacks next against people they don't even know.
