When some fanatic kills in the name of their god (or whatever ideology), I take him at his word. Such people have chosen such a belief and acted upon it, all the way to the conclusion of murdering someone. They chose an ideology that trumps human life. That is different from a mere crime of passion.
When a racist firebombs a known black church, killing four black children, it isn't a mere coincidence that he also is a member of the KKK. That fact doesn't get him off the hook, but rather reveals just how ideologically committed he was to his crime. He was simply being consistent. Could we expect anything less?
