This is so sad and heartbreaking. I will certainly pray for this woman. So much evil in the world....

I thought the getting stoned came first and then the sex part after that.
Usually, that would be funny.

Paging Jesse Jackson, paging Jesse Jackson. Human rights violation about to occur in Iran. Your presence is needed to form a million person march in protest. Oh, I forgot. You are still trying to have the Ohio vote overturned. I guess you have your priorities in order.

Does anyone remember what happened to the woman who was supposed to be stoned for adultery a couple of years back?
The one who was pregnant. They allowed her to give birth and then a year to breast feed before her stoning.
It seems to me that somehow she was spared.
Anyone know?

This is one of many, many reasons why we should pray "Thy Kingdom come!!!!

I wonder if they're going to use the "humane" method of stoning or the ancient way. In the "modern" cities of Saudi Arabia, the "humane" method of stoning involves burying the woman up to her neck, then dropping a front end loader's bucket full of stones on her. They think it's more civilized.
The method of execution for a man is different. In Southern Saudi, the male adulterer is tied standing up in the town square, at the same place where heads and hands are cut off. A car drives up in front of the adulterer and a hooded executioner exits the vehicle. The executioner then shoots Mr Unlucky ( not sure how many shots are required by law). The executioner then leaves in the car. The reason I call him Mr. Unlucky is that adultery is harder to prove against a man than a woman over there. So there are less men executed than woman for the same crime. Go figure.
In all cases after an execution, the crowd goes wild.

I know it is sarcasm, at least I hope is sarcasm, but my heart is breaking, god's children are dying.
Please refrain from making fun of something so serious.

Sorry, slight error on a detail with the last post. When I said hooded executioner, I forgot the executioner wears a ski mask instead.

It's just sickening...
"He who is without sin cast the first stone..."
As for the first woman - if she committed what in this country would amount to sex with a minor then yes, she is guilty - but stoning to death - and the victim gets executed, too? That's just so wrong on so many counts.
As for condemning a mentally deficient person whose mother was acting as her pimp - the authorities should be the ones executed! Her mother should definitely be in jail. This poor girl has suffered too much. The ONLY bright part of the story is that after it's said and done with she will surely find peace in heaven.
I can't believe it's 2004 and we're still talking about these types of "punishments" - ones that were common in biblical times. It's very frustrating reading about this as there is literally not much we can do but be witness and be aware that this is not a joke...it really happens more than we even hear of.

that the stones used 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. "I'll take two Flats, a Round, and a Packet of Gravel"

Prayer ping.
My prayers go up for this young lady. God's protection over her. Lord, please help this young lady. Provide her with safety and a reprieve from the lawmakers of her country. Provide her with comfort and peace. Surround her with your love. In Jesus' precious name. Amen
Marmema, thank you for the ping.

the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence against Hajieh Esmailvand but changed the lower court's verdict from death by hanging to death by stoning.Hanging wasn't CRUEL enough?
If these people get nukes we're doomed.

Coming up on the year when the discontented majority of Iranians depose their mullahocracy as the Israelis put our 5,000 JDAMs to the best possible use--on, say, anything in Iran which makes clickety noises on a geiger counter.
Be careful to protect the civil rights of those mullahs--no, on further consideration, take care to bury them to the proper depth and stone them with the proper-sized stones.
First, the Great Satan will stune their beebers with that dangerous radiation emitted by the female of the species:

I hope the lady in the story the other day who converted to Islam and married a Muslim is reading this story.I will never understand what would make a western woman give up all her freedom and submit herself to a life as a dog who is abused by its master.Maybe she thought getting stoned to death meant smoking a lot of weed until you pass out instead of being pelted by little rocks until you stop breathing.
