Do you call capital punishment "murder?"

No, I do not.

I do call putting someone to death, not for their actions, but for their beliefs, murder. And a state which performs such murders I call tyrannous

Then you have to call most of Europe, especially Spain and Italy, "murderous" and "tyrannous" for their likewise judgment that preaching anti-Trinitarianism was a state crime of the highest order.

When in Rome...

OUR country 'persecutes' someone, NOT for being a child molester, but for having child pornography on their computer.
