You are mistakem the penalties are in the Quran:
"Hadd offences carry specific penalties, set by the Koran and by the prophet Mohammed. These include unlawful sexual intercourse (outside marriage); false accusation of unlawful intercourse; the drinking of alcohol; theft; and highway robbery. Sexual offences carry a penalty of stoning to death or flogging while theft is punished with cutting off a hand."

Civilized countries, such as the one I live in, Australia, have abolished the death penalty, so don't talk to me about electric chairs.

If she was found guilty in a court of law, then she's guilty.
Why cheer at someone's death? The law is the law.

The Iranian govt took some very drastic measures. By right, both the man and woman are to be responsible for their actions, why was the girl punished and not the boy?
Trust me no parent would want to see their child die that way. If I was her parent I would hold myself responsible for my daughter's behaviour as I did not give her the proper guidance. They live in Iran, they know Iran's laws regarding these kind of things... why break the law then?
In Malaysia anyone who is caught trafficking drugs will get the death penalty (or do you think that is too harsh?). My point is, when you live in a certain country you are to respect the laws of that country.
The punishments that are there in Islam are to discourage people from misbehaving and breaking laws (for our own benefit!). Even Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wasn't a strong advocate of stoning.

there is a difference in Shariah law and man-made law. just like laws of Holy Books and laws that give people electric chairs or turn them into guinea pigs for medical experiments.
when one pin-points one's finger at someone, please do not forget, there vanishes all talks of -- live and let live policy -- in thin air.
EDIT: caught u in the act, can u tell me the verse from the Qu'ran that asks u to stone a person for Adultary or rape?
isnt it just a 100 lashes and not killing a person -- as they have to fast and give charity in repentence?. also can u tell me the names of countries where they practise this -- in Islam NO, in Middle East and fyi, muslims are present worldwide. just like people who give electric chairs are found world wide. oh yes, u are right, civilised and educated people dont mind getting exploited and even letting small kids be exploited by religious people.
btw, can u tell me which religion allows people to have free and casual sexual encounters with anyone and everyone?. just name one religion which says its ok.

You wanna blame someone ,you blame that person who carries out that rules! ,we're all human , we can think for ourselves whats good and whats not. Can you think for yourself whats right and whats wrong? And why did you ask such question?
