I suspect while these people had high intelligent quotients they were low in emotional quotient, a result of problems during childhood development

Further these individuals understood their acts to be evil but rationalized why they were necessary

Those grilled in practices such as Sharia Law can be viewed as being reared in ignorance but one has to be careful with that also. Christians can also be viewed as being reared in ignorance

The problem with this entire thread is that if people are on different philosophical planes not only won't they reach agreement they won't even attain understanding, ergo reactionsto Sharia Law
