Iranian woman to be hanged Wednesday: rights group

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Replaced by New Testament. And irrelevant in modern times even in Jewish faith which is Old Testament based but doesn't cling to ancient barbaric practices such as stoning.

A holy book and divine law with God given errors?

Islam as it is sometimes practiced is self bashing. You find it practical and easy to dismiss everyone and everything which reflects poorly on Islam as inaccurate or misleading in the face of verifiable current events, or simply dismiss fellow believers as not being true Muslims. It would be far more compelling were it not for current events.

Indeed we must believe Islam has nothing to do with Islam...

An ignorant person sharing ignorant articles cherry picked from the Internet to share with other ignorant people does not constitute scholarship nor fact. When you post something factual or show some intelligence about subjects you post about, you will be on track for a rational discussion.

You'll find stuff fair few church denominations in the US who would disagree with you about that, who are equally backward and barbaric in their outlook.

I've noticed that the OT is often dismissed as irrelevant and superseded by the NT. How do dismiss five books of your Bible? Are people ashamed of the OT? Who is the God of the OT if not the God of the NT. I'm curious about this attitude I've seen repeatedly when the OT is referenced. Is it holy or not?

Are Jews cramping Christian dogma?

with all do respect, following religious beliefs based on any book in general doesn't exactly bold well for necessary intelligence, no matter what your religion is.

If you really care to look into it, you will find that barbarism is carried out by a people of all an no faiths. But if you are really interested you can indeed by religious extremists of a christian stripe who do exactly this kind of thing.

We share that opinion! Yes!

[Danno 1,228]

I would rather see the Guilty Stoned to deat, rather than escape their due punishment which so often happens.

(not speaking to this particular case as the facts are uncertain)

Stoning comes from Jewish law (Bible, John 8:7), is not prescribed as a punishment in the Quran. It is not practiced in every Muslim country. Iran is predominantly Shi'a, not Sunni, and has many variances in its version of Islamic law (i.e. fiqh, man-made law, not the same as Sharia, the divine law).

The Jews don't stone any more but you-know-who still does.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Stop stoning! Be like the US and kill 'em with lethal injection, electrocution, lethal gas, hanging, and by firing squad instead.

Predominately Muslim countries number in the double digits. Only 6 have stoning as a legal method of execution; not all of them use it.

Some of them keep it their hip pocket, just in case.
