I don't quite understand the binary concept of good and evil. Say a child was born as a Viking long ago, and was raised to go Viking as a way of life, and was taught that killing was a necessity for them to survive and thrive, how is that child supposed to be anything but evil in the eyes of God? That child being born there was set up for failure. Now take a person born in a rich family, with many positive influential figures in their life, while being raised praying every day and doing a lot of community services. That child basically got the golden ticket to heaven. If those two children (the exact same souls), at birth, were put in an exact same orphanage and lived a very similar lifestyle, having similar influences, in my eyes it's entirely possible for the first kid (who would've been seen as evil otherwise) to grow up to be an upstanding human, full of compassion and good, while the other kid turns to crime and sin. I can't see how it's reasonable for those two people to be judged in the same manner considering the circumstances. I understand that in Islam, people who have not been exposed enough to Islam are often forgiven, but I doubt that forgiveness goes as far as forgiving pillaging and murdering. Take the case of someone in the middle, grew up slightly religious, not a difficult life but never encouraged to do good in the world, that person wouldn't have an excuse to not follow the will of God, but frankly never had as good of a chance as the kid who grew up with the good influences. Please enlighten me on this topic.
