"You are not to judge" quote as a blanket cover-all defense for the indefensible is a pet peeve of mine.

It's hard to take, but as a Christian, I believe it. We don't know what, on the insides of a man, compels him to commit evil acts. Many such men have much more to struggle with than we. But evil acts should be judged as such (the sin, not the sinner), and should be punished accordingly. We should leave the ultimate judgment of a man's worth to God and Christ.

I don't think we are in disagreement here, my friend. I just think the quote is most often taken way too far. We are called to make judgements of certain kinds, just not on the final disposition of a person's soul.
