Its barbaric & I'm glad that the world at least knows about it because of the world media & the net. Can you just imagine the horrors these poor people have been put throught for ages that were hidden from the rest of the world. The only silver lining here is that this incident has opened a can of worms that will hopefully be emptied forever.

She became having an affair? So what? What became performed to her continues to be barbaric. What she did (if something) could have been dealt with between her and her husband: if he stumbled on in spite of she did unacceptable, he could have left her. by applying the way, in accordance to the object, she did no longer even would desire to have intercourse with a guy to be accused and convicted of adultery. How unwell is that? to signify that it is okay to beat somebody because of the fact he or she had an affair (or for the different reason) is primitive questioning that has no place interior the well-liked worldwide. [Edit a million] Oh, it extremely is prosperous: "The Westerners declare that Islam is barbaric for permitting such outcomes as stoning and whipping, and yet we stumble on the applicable same punishment of their very own Bible!" . . .and . . . "Is it no longer unusual that the Christians do no longer take difficulty with their very own Bible, yet then create an outcry as quickly as we Muslims enforce comparable punishments on convicted fornicators and adulterers?" [Excerpts from linked article.] sure, the christian bible does have such passages. the adaptation is, christians now no longer do such issues. Christianity went via a reformation, and that's time islam did, as nicely. [Edit 2] It in basic terms gets worse: "the lady did no longer admit to having intercourse along with her lover, yet she did admit to be ending up an affair which went on for many long months. the two fanatics admitted to the government that they have been having a bootleg dating with one yet another, and it extremely is of their signed and attested confessions. On precise of this, the Saudi government had evidence of the affair contained in one among those telephone calls, image exchanges, and different such helping evidences." [Excerpt from linked article.] So, they might have had no longer something better than a friendship, yet it extremely is seen having an "affair" and committing "adultery" along with her "lover?" and a few human beings truthfully think of that this justifies what became performed to her? it is unwell. in basic terms undemanding unwell. returned, in spite of if she did have a sexual affair with a guy who isn't her husband, it would have been labored out by applying the couple. Her husband would have usual what she did, and tried to artwork issues out, or he would have divorced her. it extremely is how civilized people manage issues. is this the sharia regulation that muslims think of all of us could keep on with? if so, i do no longer assume they're going to discover many takers, till they are sadists or masochists. .

That's awful. I had not heard of this until just now. It has officially ruined my day.
I'm disgusted by this. I hate to say that up until recently, I've stood up for Islam and all the bashing the religion gets.... but this... This is sick. The woman was raped, she didn't ask for it! No woman ever does. And to be punished in such a way... I hate to say this, but we do not worship the same God.

These people are living in the dark ages but beware, if we dont stop bending over backwards to appease them re their religion of peace (what a misnomer that is) we will wake up one day and be living under sharia law ourselves.
