Not likely, given that the same Law of Moses which gives us the Decalogue
also gave orders to execute people for various crimes (including the
gathering of wood on a Saturday) and to destroy entire nations.
Of course, that's not to say the commandment against murder can't be used
to reflect a more general opposition to other forms of killing, too.
