Are they just emulating the Old Testament Jewish law? And what about the guys?

"A teenage Muslim girl was stoned to death under 'Sharia law' after taking part in a beauty contest in Ukraine.

Katya Koren, 19, was found dead in a village in the Crimea region near her home."

I don't think it's emulating Old Testament Jewish Law--I think that sort of punishment predates the OT and Jewish law in that part of the world.

The theocracy uses the religion as an excuse for something they would do whether someone proclaimed "God said do this" or not.

That's a conservative theocrats dream right there. Maybe there is such a thing as being too conservative.

I think the standard used in primitive villages was that if the women struggled and cried out, she was being raped and wouldn't be held responsible. If she wasn't heard during the rape, they figured that she was consenting to sex.

Every time I see this meme of 'conservatism=Islamism' I realize how truly vapid the left has become. Step away from Kos and pick up a history book sometime. Do you realize who framed the 1st Amendment? It was classical liberals, or what we call conservatives today. It was people who were influenced by John Locke and Adam Smith.
