Okay here's something I don't understand, supposedly the woman confessed, yet according to your law there has to be 4 witnesses and if there are not 4 witnesses then the woman cannot be prosecuted for a crime even if she confesses because it is strictly hearsay, but even if it were true then these same four witnesses would have to be for the man, adultery takes two people, not one, so basically it sounds to me that a woman was put to death on hearsay.
i will give an answer which i hopefully clear this isuue
in islam , if you commit a sin between youself and your God , hence you dosn't deserve any punishment from the society
but if you commit any sin against society as theft or killing or raping for example so you desrve the punishment from society
in the matter of adultery , if you commit it with someone else secretly , so it considered as to be between you and God , if you did it secretly but carelessly so that one or two or three saw you , it will still without punishment
but if some one commit it , so that 4 witness saw him , it considers by islam to be sin against the society
by the way punishment of adultery not death , the death for just married people
so in this matter , not him nor her deserve the punishment even if it was proofed that they commit it , becuse they did that secretly
the woman her (if we supposed that the article say the truth ) confessed for the punishment as a great repent to her God

Then the punishment should be between her and her God, not the people or society. So now all of those who stoned her to death are guilty of taking a life in the eyes of your God. What's the punishment for that?

I wonder what sort of hate and anger could fill a person to make them want to stone someone to death in the first place? I cannot even fathom having that sort of anger...I mean to literally pick up rocks and hurl them at a woman. I know it is cultural and I've been trying to understand it as this thread has progressed...but it baffles me.
i know that this punishment is very tough , and very horrible
and i thank God that he put coditions for it which almost can't to be fulfiled
this punishment was very tough even to our prophet (pbuh) as well , but islam means submitter to commands of God , we can't abolish any of it
stonning death established by moses (pbuh) either , why no one condemned him either , jesus himself (pbuh) honoured the laws of old testament
if christians or jews didn't want to follow thier teaching ,dosn't let us abolish teaching of our relegion as them
the same barbaric existed in bible teaching , they don't follow it , i know
but it dosn't justify thier relegion as well
Yes, it is quite true. There was, unfortunately, an awful lot of stoning to death in the Old Testament. I still cannot reconcile myself to such a punishment.
The only excuse (or reason) I can come up with is that it took place three thousand years ago. They were 'people of their time'.
Islam has still to catch up.

i can't see it sort of hate and anger
you know what happens in phalstinians and Iraq and what happened in vitnam and Bousna and hate crimes commited by amirican soldieres against innocents or against presoners are sort of hate and anger
but excution of the law against guilties not sort of anger or hate , it's sort of strict may be
This doesn't sound like that woman went willingly and these are Islamic terrorists. I don't think there is any way anyone can condone the actions of these Islamic Extremists..

if she didn't went willingly , then i agree with you
I would just add that saying she admitted to and ask for that punishment is quite different from her admitting to and asking for that punishment.
Amazing.
This does nothing to help Islam. I would hope some Islamic religious leader would step up and condemn this.
This is 2008. We don't live in the ****ing middle ages. You don't stone people.. you might ask why we don't? Because stoning people is bat **** crazy.
but who are you to say anything. if they go by the way of life and follow their religion why criticize? just cause its taboo in our society does not mean its taboo in theirs

we can say the same thing about our death penalty....
