Stoning adulterers to death is not in Kuran therefore it can not be an Islamic rule .
O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner.
And one who invites to Allah , by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.
And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from Allah great bounty.
And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites but do not harm them, and rely upon Allah . And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.
A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found relatively widespread popular support for stoning as a punishment for adultery in Egypt (82% of respondents in favor of the punishment), Jordan (70% in favor), Indonesia (42% in favor), Pakistan (82% favor) and Nigeria (56% in favor).[39]
People like to pretend the world would be perfect and happy without any religion, but that's simply not true. The problem is humanity itself, when it won't keep its hands to itself or thinks it knows what is better for others than they themselves do, doesn't accept responsibility for its own actions, and so forth - whatever the motivation may be (regardless if is religion, politics, morality, science, or anything else).

Alleged 961 child rapes a day in South Africa?
Glad you think Africa just "hangs out"..... like AUSTRALIA....

Thats because Allah is not YHWH, he is Lucifer. Actions speak louder than words. This is what Jesus Christ has been saying all along in the bible. Know them, by the fruits of their labors. Yeshua ha Meshiach forgives and this is why he is the divine one and why Muhammad is just a blood thirsty madman. Yeshua wanted people to covert, but Muhammad says "if any man should change his religion, kill him". Who would you rather pick? Yeshua who loves you and forgives you? Or Muhammad who would see you die horribly for comitting a sin with a smile on his face?
Sharia law versus the laws of Christ. Love and forgiveness or hate and retribution? Shouldn't be a hard decision to make.
This video was very brutal and it saddend me. How could anyone do these things? I couldn't i do not have the heart to make someone die.edit on 14-11-2011 by lonewolf19792000 because: (no reason given)

For real. People need to realize there was no Allah to whisper this punishment into the ear of man. A man come up with this punishment and men support it.
Anyway. I believe that men are only buried up to the waist. I think if they wriggle out of the hole they are pardoned right?
Many of you love to jump on the bandwagon of the witch trials, the crusades and all the other non Islamic traditions of brutality but remember the Christian faith is fa newer than than that of Islam and if Christianity has moved away from those practices generations ago then why were the Muslims not far more advanced and civilized before Christianity? they are still living in the dark ages of humanity hidden behind their religious rites.
Muhammad (c. 570 – June 8, 632) was a trader later becoming a religious, political, and military leader. However, Muslims do not view Muhammad as the creator of Islam, but instead regard him as the last messenger of God, through which the Qur'an was revealed.
Islam's most fundamental concept is a rigorous monotheism, called tawhīd (Arabic: توحيد). God is described in chapter 112 of the Qur'an as:[24] "Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him." (112:1-4) Muslims repudiate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and divinity of Jesus, comparing it to polytheism, but accept Jesus as a prophet. In Islam, God is beyond all comprehension and Muslims are not expected to visualize God. God is described and referred to by certain names or attributes, the most common being Al-Rahmān, meaning "The Compassionate" and Al-Rahīm, meaning "The Merciful" (See Names of God in Islam).[25]
The only difference is, Christians aren't running around cutting people's noses off for looking at them funny.
In short, 809 million people have died in religious wars. That’s nearly a billion people.
Conclusively, more people have died in the name of religion than in the name of Communism or Hitler, or the two combined times two.

You make a very good point.. and I totally agree with this.
If we had no religion at all.. what possible crimes would come of that mindset...?
Sorry, I can't accept that religion is necessary to instill morals, as you seem to be suggesting. Not at all. A sense of fair-play and decency is innate, I believe, and can be nurtured or demolished by those around us while we're growing up.
