Iran's chief prosecutor Ghorban Ali Dori Najafabad has defended the death penalty by stoning describing it as a "wise measure".
"Death by stoning and all the measures contained in the Sharia (Islamic law) are wise measures' he said in speech delivered Monday in Zanjan, a town located some 200 kilometres west of the capital Tehran.
"We need to distinguish between the law of bloodmoney and the of executions carried out after the death sentence has been passed. The first is a right the Sharia recognises to the victims, while the second is a law wanted by men", Najafabad said

I will once again use the title of Joe Walsh's 1976 Album to answer a question:
"You can't argue with a sick mind"
This genius did not mention "Honor killings" too?

They are mental and insane!
They don't just do that. They perform executions on minors, too.

Stoning is torture but I support bringing back public hangings.

Haha! I guess it is cheaper than lethal injection.
