Why would muslims "emulate" the Old Testament instead of their own koran? You didn't really think this through, did you?

More importantly, why aren't social progressives and feminists permanently outraged by these misogynist human rights practices? They get more upset if you say you don't support gay marriage.

Because, they are all anti-American.

So?

That doesnt change the fact that fundamentalist Islamists are right wing conservatives.

They probably are. Any decent person would be, but what can they do about it?

What does a form of punishment on the other side of the world have to do with being American?

Maybe because Muslims, Jews, and Christians believe in the same Abrahamic God, and the same basic principles of creation and morality?

Arabs like to think they descended from Abraham, but, 75 percent of muslims are not arabs. Islam and its hatred toward others is the antithesis of Judaism and Christianity.

Abraham was a Hebrew and God is the God of the Hebrews and Jews, not the God of the muslims.

She knew the potential consequences of her actions. If you know the rules and break the rules then you must be prepared to pay. Unfortunately for her, she thought she was above the law, and she had to pay with her life. Most likely, her story was used as an "example" so that other girls will not be foolishly inclined to follow her example. It's their country - their laws. None of our business.
