Stoning is wrong both ways. Remember, Jesus saved the woman who was about to be stoned by saying that who is sinless can throw the first stone. : )

Because men are the ones with the stones.

In Islam both sexes r to recieve the same punishment!
"The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment." Chapter 24. Verse:2
But if the guilty person denys commiting adultery than he/she
is not supposed to be punished. There has to be evidence.There has to be reliable witnesses involved
Maybe its the way media portrays such cases that makes one think that it is only a women who is to be punished.
William I promise you this is not true. If you had to study Islam and the treatment of women in Islam you would be very surprised!!!

Actually, in some cultures they do stone the men, too. That's what made the story about the woman who was about to be stoned when Jesus stopped it so bad. According to Mosaic law, he was supposed to be stoned, too.

Moses Law did not excluded the man...but they did at that time...
That what i believe Jesus asked in the Bible.
I believe in John 8:6
When they were going to stone the adulterous
that on the ground he wrote and where is the man?

Both the man and the woman were supposed to be killed for committing adultery.
Leviticus 20:10 "If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Beause the men are too busy making bombs and blowing up marketplaces and buses. Great societies, no?
Have you ever noticed that the religious leaders do not strap bombs to themselves? They just encourage others to do it!
Seriously, they are probably ALL candidates for mental institutions. And their actions suggest that hey both hate and fear women. These people exist in the bronze age.

Because Islamic men have all the power. We in the West can't gloat about that because women are still not treated equally and many men think that they can knock "their" woman around because they belong to them. It will change.

You don't know what you're talking about, I'm a man and I get stoned all the time.

According to Leviticus 20:10, BOTH people are to be put to death, not just the woman.
