Just curious, I don't mean this as an attack on Islam. I just sometimes read other people's answers here on yahoo answers and quite honestly, I am weeping.
So, here is my question, for those who claim that "its just the culture" in the Middle East and thats why they stone people, why in non-Middle Eastern countries, where people aren't Arabic, but instead Asian for example, like in Malaysia, where homosexuals and adulterors are stoned, is it just their culture also? Why do both seperate cultures and seperate ethnic groups who are Muslim do this, and when they do they have the Qur'an in the other hand that they aren't using to throw rocks?
Also, do you think the average person who would say "oh no thats just the Middle Eastern peoples culture" would ever be able to put their finger on Malaysia on a map; do you think they have ever picked up a Qur'an and read any passages from it?
