(I'm going to use an example from history so this post isn't side tracked)

When Napoleon came back to power after exile other European empires declared him an enemy of mankind and made it legal for anyone to kill him, I guess in the name of a greater good.

Supposing killing a man would save alot of lives but that man is killed by an individual, he's still committed murder but who should decide whether he should be for killed for it fairly?

PS yah, I agree there are some crimes which should be punished by death outright.

PPS What do you mean by "laws set down by God?" - Shariah law?
