Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani - Iran, Islam, stoning and grace, part 1 of 3
Examiner ^ | Sep 8, 2010 AD | Mariano Grinbank

In this and the following segments we will consider: the Qur′an, atheists and political activists and the Pope, Christianity and Jesus...

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani...has been “subjected to 99 lashes with a whip, administered in the presence of one of her two children.” This appears to be a minus one version of the Qur′an’s commandment in Surah 24:2,
"The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment."

However, regardless of adultery, or “illegal sexual intercourse,” Muslim men are commanded to beat their wives in Surah 4:3; see an Albuquerque website for info: Muhammad and Jesus, part 4 of 10 Regarding Wives and Does Allah Allow Muslim Men to Beat their Wives in Islam's Qur'an?

Islam really is an ugly “religion”. For Christians to defend it or associate with it is an affront to God. I am unapologetic in my disdain for them...

Islam doesn’t belong here.
