It should be pointed out that this is a perversion of the Koran. Mohammed said it took 4 male witnesses of the act of adultery to convict a woman. Some Muslims cultures have apparently twisted this around bass-ackward.
BTW, the story of how this part of the Koran came about is interesting. Mo's favorite wife, the one he married when she was 6, got lost in the desert with a young soldier, not finding the camp till the next morning.
Some of Mo's followers insisted she be put to death on suspicion of adultery, since we all know it's impossible for any woman to be alone with a young man without jumping his bones.
She was, as stated, his favorite wife and he didn't want to off her. So Allah conveniently provided a revelation that it required 4 male witnesses to the act to convict a woman of this crime.
That’s very intesting, didn’t know that. And also very tolerant and civilized for Allah to rush to the defense of Mo’s child bride when typically he could care less. Must have been in a good mood. By the way, Mohammed did buy and marry Aisha when she was 6, but he was decent enough not to mollest her until she was 9. Or so the muzzie holy books say.
