Nothing about this story makes sense. The man was married and the woman was engaged to be married. So why was the man stoned too?

♫ Everybody must get stoned ♫

can you imagine wanting to kill two people just because they had sex together(and you're not involved with either of them)?

BadAnalogyGuy: Nothing about this story makes sense. The man was married and the woman was engaged to be married. So why was the man stoned too?

Because he committed adultery. In fact, according to their laws, the woman committed adultery too since she had an affair with a married man.

Oh, and there's this gem FTA...Earlier this month, the Taliban publicly flogged and then killed a pregnant widow for alleged "adultery" in western Badghis province

This is disgusting and primitive behaviour demonstrated by our countries enemies... and several of our allies.

Every time I read about something like this, I wonder if we can ever actually defeat these people. No one is ever going to be able to get them to act like civilized, rational human beings and, if that is true, the only way to defeat them is to wipe them off the face of the earth. Since this is something we are not prepared to do, we will fail.

I heard that the US locked up thousands of people in places where they are gang raped and beaten and often killed, just for smoking some plant in the privacy of their own homes. If we can't get them to stop doing that, the only thing we can do is wipe them off the face of the Earth.

Sorry subby, any headline about stoning should only use the SAD tag. Nothing funny about it.

Many people who go to jail for drug possession actually plead down from violent crimes because the prosecution doesn't have the evidence to nail them for everything. Not that I support our drug laws, but I think you exaggerate the situation just a little.

I don't think any rational person would have an answer for that.

Oh, but it would be wrong of us to judge them, right? We have to "respect" their religion and culture, don't we?

This is what will happen in every nation if the muzzies get their way. In fact, it already does happen even in places we think of as civilized (it's no rarity for girls to be murdered by their fathers/brothers in "honor" killings even in places like Europe.)

These people are primitive barbarians. I agree with the other poster that it will be very, very hard to ever defeat them. As long as Islam persists, with all it's Sharia law and "infidels" and terrorist-recruiting mosques, they will always be a threat. I think the only solution would be to completely close immigration to Muslims, eradicate the mosques we already have, and make the ones in civilized countries attend mandatory classes on science, history, Western culture, and basically try and de-brainwash them out of their "allah" delusions. We need to stop treating Islam with kid gloves as a religion, and instead label it a terror group like any of the White Power organizations. This will never happen, so we're pretty much screwed.

why do you feel we have to change everyone to our standards? they have been doing this for thousands of years. this is the problem with western countries. we need just to mind our farking business and leave them alone. let them go back to killing each other like they used to do.

as bad as it is to read, that is their culture not ours. wiping them off the map? yea ok like that helps. wipe a people out cause we dont like their culture.

Right. Who were we to tell Hitler to stop rounding up the Jews and killing them? That's German culture, and we should have left them to it.

They do this in parts of Michigan also. It's just not PC to print about it.

This is the future of America. Enjoy your ground zero terrorist headquarters.

BTW, Hamas endorses, and says it will use this mosque. Good show.

If they would just keep killing each other, they wouldn't be a problem. We could just pull out and let them have at it.
Instead, they are pretty clear about wanting to export their brand of religion/government/extremism to every part of the globe.
They will not be happy until we are all living in the fifth century.

Well, we actually found out about that AFTER we got involved in the war, and there were Jews in parts of the Geman military, particularly the Navy, as Adm. Durnitz (sp?) refused to dismiss his Jewish officers. Read a book for dog's sake.

Maybe, 'establishment of a religion' in a country - since it's such a powerful mechanism - should be something that is subject to a very strict, and very long probation period. You've gotta lay low for say, a hundred years or so to prove that you're not an extortionate, raping, blood-thirsty cult and only then can you go on and build those mega-places of worship and proselytize to your heart's content. Requires a bit of democratic long-term planning, but hey.

Article Three
Ch. 1, Art. 3

In Afghanistan, no law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam.


It's okay, folks! Since stoning is just dandy under Islamic law, this punishment it Constitutionally sound.

stories like this is why I'm okay with fighting against the taliban. They're dicks, makes it easy to want to bloody their nose.

Since we're the "great satan" anyways, I really don't think or reputation can get worse with them.

I live in Michigan, and while we do have a couple honor killings per year, usually in or around Dearborn, I have never once heard of a public stoning anywhere in the state. I think this is BS.

This is yet another reason why cries to have Sharia Law instituted for the sake of immigrant minorities should be fought using every possible method. The minute this is integrated into any civilized country, we begin our procession back into the stone-ages.

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.

We're an advanced society. You can use firearms for honor killings here.

Srsly, WTF? I would stand for anyone's First Amendment rights, but this religion is simply batshiat crazy. Certifiable. Just because it's a "religion" doesn't give them a pass to trample on human rights. Oh, and to drag Allah's name through the mud in the process.

And that's another point. The "moderates" in this religion must be doing it wrong. Really, is there such an entity as a "true" moderate Muslim? Which precepts of the Qu'ran are they ignoring?

We need to respect the tenets and values of other cultures. They're different from ours, certainly, but there is no right and wrong. Many of you are just passing judgment on something you don't understand. He who is without sin...

sprawl15: And THE LORD OUR GOD said, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife".

That is always a good policy. However, Jesus talked about forgiveness. While I do not think they should be given a pat on the back, killing them seems to be a bit extreme.

Just sayin'...

A shiat-ton of them. Just like the Christians I know who wear poly-blend clothes, work on Sundays, and allow women to speak in church.

Everybody ignores something in their religion unless they're writing a book on it (new window).

Sure, but here we are talking about the murder of two people simply for getting laid.

How about you think about more appropriate punishments for offenses where someone isn't killed or property is damaged?

That might be the problem, women in that part of the world are still considered property. Now I get it!

No kidding. I can't believe that the Taliban police don't practice a more reasonable, law-based form of justice instead of an insane, archaic religious-based style.
