Then you must also accept that civilized people of the world will continue to condemn your religion. Sorry.. thats just the case. God or not.. its barbaric.

Don't make this about the west. This has nothing to do with the west.

Yet after thousands of years.. you still must hand out punishments like stoning. It doesn't seem like an effective deterrent. Maybe its time to try something new. There is a phrase in the evil west that goes something like "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome".

I too see a different culture. Effective laws.. thats pretty subjective. Peaceful.. are people peaceful if they are forced to be peaceful? Thats a good question. Healthy? I imagine stones being lodged in my forehead isn't the picture of health I'd like to have.


Again, there is no defense of stoning. None whatsoever. Zero. You can say "God" tell us to all you want. However, I'm just telling you that by stoning people and condoning such behavior will lead many in the West to have a very very very poor idea of what Islam is.

Do you disagree with my statement?

I agree, what happened to the men and what kind of punishment were they given? A woman cannot commit adultery without a man, so what's the punishment for the men?

honestly , it does change nothing , we can't alter the commands of our God to satisfy anyone else
but to be fair they need to condemn old testament either

i thought that you need to understand the cultures of others , i just meant to give big difference in your culture and ours
it's okey to practise adultery in west's culture , it isn't in muslims's culture .

that's why you see it disgusting to punish adulterers in the first place , am i wrong ?


Quote:

this punishment excuted for married people only , tell me again are you prefer to betray your spouse

Quote:

we either
what do you mean by 'we" are you refer to your relegion or your secular government ?

Quote:

it's offense
anyway, as long as you know shariah very well
can you please enlighten me how shariah law prohibit you from your openion ? and give me islamic sources which support you
thanx

it's effective for two reaasons
1- if shariah law established within muslims society , this kind of punishment will not excuted ever , because no one will betray his spouse in public without or with existence of these laws
2- it will prevent the society to be influenced by this behaviours


Quote:

practically , we have with our article stonning punishment which excuted for the first time ever , and they said that she wanted that by her self as an repentence for her God
if they are liars , and they punished her without four witness , so the wrath of God will be in them

so this kind of punishment are under controll , i can say that it's almost impossible to fulfill the conditions of stonning punishment according to shariah

surely , isn't your laws forced you to not kill , rape or theft ?
by the way i'm talking about peace of innocents and society not guilty ones

if they ignored the entire relegion and focused in the punishments of crimers in islam which are rarely executed , and dosn't open thier mind to undertand the purpose from it in the sight of islam , and didn't imagine the postive side of these laws , hence they will have very poor idea about islam

So, are there any witnesses needed for the woman to be caught? If not, then barring the filiming of a porn movie, it will always be the woman who will be stoned to death - I cannot see how 4 people will gather around there for a beer and a sex act. How fair is this - looks like the laws were made by men, for men!

Imagine stones squishing your eyeballs out of their sockets. Imagine stones penetrating your temple. Imagine stones tearing the skin off your face and scalp.

Betraying your spouse is wrong for sure, but no where near worth such a cruel punishment.

you didn't read my posts brother
punishment of adultery need 4 witness to be executed ( whether men or women)
woman also need 4 witnesses

and you are right , it means that you will need filming movie or need them make it in openly places shamelessly so that 4 persons see them and witness against them
and that's exactly what islam need to prevent

So, presuming 4 witnesses were there, was the man also stoned to death? Does not make it right - just asking.
