And the American government wants to stay and protect these cretans for another ten years? Anybody who stones someone else to death should be stoned to death. Period.

Your applying your own morals and ethics to other people and that in itself is as horrible as stoning someone. Not every society believes what you believe and until you are anointed Overlord of the Universe you probably shouldn't demand everyone follow what you want.

That has got to be the most ignorant comment I have read in a long while. There is no world where stoning someone for simply sleeping with a person of their choice is okay. No human being should condone this kind of moronic behavior. You are simply dead wrong on this one.
Its not my opinion, its just a fact.
Not everyone believes as you do and if they do not than you are saying they are wrong. Do you think the Aztecs were wrong for practicing human sacrifice?
Probably you do but what gives you the right to judge others?
Sorry? what gives Aztecs or Muslims the right to practice human sacrifice or stone people??? Oh, are they not judging people??? Unbelievable hypocrisy! Of course the Aztecs were wrong in practicing human sacrifice, what idiot would say they were right???
They would say they were right. Why do your views trump theirs?
Are you saying that you are morally superior to the Aztec civilization?edit on 26-11-2013 by Spookybelle because: (no reason given)

I was waiting for someone to point out this is Sharia law - in fundamentalist Islam - where women and "female children" have absolutely no rights.
An 8 year old girl is accused of "adultery" when she is raped by an adult male is stoned to death - or some other form of fundamental islam - is "honored killed" by stoning.
Do any of you really understand what "stoned to death" is in fundament sharia islamic rule is?
You bury the child/woman up to her neck in the ground - and then adult males throw rocks at her head until she is dead.
Makes someone with "ethics" want to nuke that place to the ground - or get all of the women/girls out of there and let the remaining men just kill eachother -
Makes me really believe that the earth is actually HELL for any girl that happens to be born there.
And, by reading a bunch of different news reports - there are adult women who condone this treatment and actually give girls to be raped to "filthy" my quote "fighting warriors" to be used in this way.
What can US citizens do? Nothing. We have our own pedophilic abusers here - that should be offed - but aren't.

KABUL, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Death by stoning for convicted adulterers is being written into Afghan law, a senior official said on Monday, the latest sign that human rights won at great cost since the Taliban were ousted in 2001 are rolling back as foreign troops withdraw.
"We are working on the draft of a sharia penal code where the punishment for adultery, if there are four eyewitnesses, is stoning," said Rohullah Qarizada, who is part of the sharia Islamic law committee working on the draft and head of the Afghan Independent Bar Association.

This punishment dates back from Biblical times, and part of me feels that's where it should remain.
But there's another part of me that thinks if such brutal punishment were to be used, instead of imprisonment, maybe crime wouldn't be such an issue around the world (please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that infidelity is a crime).
If people actually feared a horrific punishment instead of a slap on the wrist and a few years imprisonment, do you think crime would run as rampant as it does now?

And not every society and/or law is worthy of respect.
Stoning of people accused of adultery is not something that is worthy of respect.
