Can someone please explain the
Religon of Peace thing to me again? Islam may be peaceful but
Sharia is not:
Stoning, or rajam, is a punishment in Islamic Law, meted out to adulterers. Under orthodox law, a person who engages in pre-marital sex is to be lashed 100 times while a person who engages in illicit sex outside of marriage is to be stoned to death. The verse which proscribes punishment for sex crimes in Islam is verse 2 of the 24th Chapter:
The woman and the man guilty of ZINA - flog each of them
with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a
matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day:
and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
Ali has a list of action items that may help. Who knows, it may work and if it may work, it is worth doing. For those who do not believe in moderate muslims, I submit that Ali seems to definately be one.
