Peter, The list of people to be killed that was given to Moses, was actually a list of the cities that were to be attacked, sacked, and all citizens being killed. That is in the Bible, and have had Biblical type people say that was alright because it was done at God's order to smooth the path to the Promised Land. That part confuses me. The Ten Commandments were given to Moses in the book of Exodus, which included "you will not murder", and at the very end of Exodus, Moses receives the instructions to level entire cities. I seriously doubt that God would ask Moses to do something that would violate a major commandment made as God's law, earlier. As far as Moslems are concerned, they believe that the Koran tells them to kill any, and all, infidels unless they become, or bow down to, Islam. That's murder without out sufficient reason. Another thing the Romans did, was to hate, and not support, their military that was keeping them safe, cared little about a quality of life, other than their own pleasures, and used money like it was going out of style. My point is, that there should be no biased teachers. That cheats the students out of the truth. But, we don't live within perfection.
