"Moral" law but if you are religious if may be in your "religion" to do the whole "eye for an eye" thing, personally i'm all for an eye for an eye, if not that then life should mean life.
This is the worst use of miss quotation I can think of. The Torah, The Bible and the Koran never instruct you to take and eye for an eye, eye for an eye is a reference to compensation; if we fight and I take your eye I must offer my own as compensation. Not only this but in several points of exodus it says Vengence is the province of God.
I'd also like to point out that Codes of Law and Morals existsed in tadem and can not be easily seperated. Followers of Jean-Jacques Rousseau a prominent proponent of naturalist jurisprudence suggest all laws should and do derive from moral codes. Where as the ultilitarian view was that those in power set the law and its punishment. This gets worse when you start to read Kant, Nietzsche, Bentham or Hume. Kant argued that laws should be chosen through moral imperative and "be chosen as though they should hold as universal laws of nature" where Bentham/Hume suggested real law is entirley sepperate from religion and morality. Then everyones pal Nietzsche weighed in with the Law as a "Will to power" idea. When the greatest thinkers of our tim can not sepperate the two I don't think we'll have much sucess here (though I may be wrong.)
The one thing they all agreed on (except Nietzsche); There is nothing moral about murder.
