Timothy McVeigh was executed by society.  Society did not tell him to
bomb something.  The Muslim village elders(city council?) in open
meetings set the punishment and openly raped the girl for the benefit
of all the village.  In otherwords it was an accepted act of that
society.

Now as to the Conquistadors, that is a perplexity to me.  The
LBIPs(little brown indigenous pipples) hate gringos-norte americanos,
but you do not hear them condemn the Spanish.  Particularly you do not
here them condemn the Catholic Church and the priests who enslaved
them, working them to death in silver and gold mines.  Destroying
their artifacts, murdering their shamans and priests and other
societal leaders.  NO, the LBIPs do not hold a grudge against those
atrocities, but they certainly do hold one against gringos with
dollars.

Did the northern europeans treat the northern LBIPs(Amerinds) much
better?  No  But that still does not expalin the irrationality of
worshipping those(Spanish/Catholic) who decimated them, while at the
same time loathing, near to hatred, the europeans of the north.
