Iran Plans Stoning For Adultery Crime


It is important to realize who we are dealing with in the Middle East. So while stories like this one are very disturbing, they must be read.

Now, I am against the death penalty in general. But this stoning an especially brutal way to die.

Oh, yes. Iran is very progressive indeed. The country even has the rock selection for the stoning down to a science:

Article 104 of the Iranian Penal Code states that the stones used for
execution should "not be large enough to kill the person by one or two strikes, nor should they be so small that they could not be defined as stones."
