I'm not entirely sure how I would define my guiding motivation in life, but I swear "do no harm" would be part of it.

I despair at those who believe otherwise.

That's precisely the point. Bar psychopaths, nearly everyone thinks they are doing the right thing, even as they do horrors. These people are so deeply indoctrinated that they think they are ultimately doing good in the eyes of god.

There is immense emphasis on an afterlife and little to no value on "life on earth" in Islam.

So these indoctrinated individuals don't really see it as too horrendous of a crime to kill someone.
