Yeah, it is. You can't expect people to consider your tradition "right", making it a universal truth and means for judgement.
What your tradition considers right/wrong is NOT what other traditions consider right/wrong, and you'd be a fool to believe that each different tradition holds the same moral beliefs.
You can't judge someone based on your own moral beliefs -- nobody can. If people started using their own morality as a means to judge someone, especially when it involves something as controversial as the death sentence.
Clovis, you're by no means stupid -- you don't seriously believe that an individual's, even a group's, moral beliefs are able to decide someone's ultimate fate, do you?
In order for someone to be legitimately sentenced in an agreeable manner, there has to be a universal standard of morality, appliccable to all regions, cultures, and traditions. Since such a standard is, while ideal, unlikely in all aspects of itself.
