I can understand part of that... but stoning your own daughter to death... how is that any better than what the muzzie do??? its the same as far as I can see. They use the same justifications...

Jesus put an end to that type of thinking with His New Covenant.

As far as the question as to how a man could have his daughter killed I don’t have the slightest idea. Apparently the fact that a daughter was promiscous would destroy a family.
But, that was THEN, this is now. This is the most important point.

It is likely that Mohammed preserved many cultural norms which were very ancient, perhaps from thousands of years before Christ which were much more severe than even early medieval times.

After the tradition of priestly Aaron yes perhaps....but after the tradition of priestly Melchizedek of which Jesus was chief...no! All of us deserve death as we all transgressed the law, just like the promiscuous woman you mention from Deuteronomy or the harlot that those in Jesus time wanted to stone.... yet for each of our accusers, be they men or Devils, Jesus stoops down and writes into the dust then replies....”Those without sin may cast the first stone”...then silence as our accusers skulk away...then a touch...”Where are your accusers(for the law says there must be 2 or 3)? And behold...there is no one there but you and God....! What else can one say but,” Lord I don’t see any to accuse me”....

Then a laughing admonishment...”Neither will I accuse you, your sins are forgiven,,,go and sin no more!

Hence we find the ultimate built in paradox of God’s law...it describes the sin and prescribes it punishments but no man is perfect enough to carry out it’s judgments for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Jesus is the only one righteous enough to carry out the judgments prescribed in the lawt...for he is the living fulfillment of God’s Word in the flesh....

But what does he do....he reigns as judge before our hearts but there is no one worthy to condemn us(other than our own guilt), for our potential accusers themselves have sins enough to hang them as well! So he chooses instead to redeem us from the debt of sin under the law. Aaron condemns and pronounces dreadful sentence, but it is Melchizidek that seeks to redeem us from the penalty of sin...the man and God...Christ Jesus!
