Iran,Iraq,Pakistan and every other stan in the middle east are archaic. 1000 yrs behind the rest of the world. They are run by over zealous fundamentalist religious barbarians. Keep it over there! The Canadian justicee system isn't perfect but I would take it over shit like that any day.

If they are 1000 years behind the world then we shouldn't be batting an eyelash at what they do. In fact they have at least 800 years of brutality, genocide, and conquest just to catch up.

[kenmore]

You have a point.

[DerbyX]

Damn. China is downsizing its execution squads.

Repressive regimes are phasing out the death penalty while enlightened ones want to expand it .......

[Tman1]

Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

[samkorn]

I wonder what they would cut off male adulterers...

You keep equating mercy and rehabilitation with "go ahead and steal and rape".

It's hard not to see the world in black and white when you've got blinders on.

Makes it hard also for them to pull an AK47 trigger or self detonate a suicide vest also, so rah rah to the Iranian system, 5 less terrorists to worry about!!

I think somebody took one too many stupid pills this morning.

How did I know some C's would come out applauding Iran for this. You all hate the Middle East but if it wasn't for secular and progressive people in NA we'd be just like those countries.

Nothing. It's only the women who are guilty of adultry...

And as we all know, they are being executed, pregnant or not.

Yes, but Iran has recently stopped stoning and will now only hang miscreants. Really no different than the US or other states with the death penalty.

Or put 3 bullets in their brains AFTER having suffered 200 lashes. WHILE PREGNANT.

A bit different, especially since we talk adultry, and not multiple murders.
That, and the fact I do not think a pregnant woman would be executed in the US, makes it silly to even think of comparing the 2.

Not bullets, hanging. Like we used to do until the 60's.

They don't kill pregnant women in Iran, they wait until they've given birth. In one recent case they beat her until she miscarried, so now they can kill her.

The 200 lashes, well maybe if we protest enough they'll stop that too, so move closer yet to the US.

Taliban = Iran. Wow I'm glad you're not in charge of our foreign policy.

As the article says, the stoning is often changed to hanging, and there was a recent decision to make all executions by hanging - even if they're sentenced to stoning. And they do wait until the woman has given birth. (I wonder how she got pregnant while in jail for 4 years. Rape possibly.)

My point isn't that I think Iran is doing a wonderful thing. Only that the US gets all high and mighty, yet carries out executions itself. Including as we know, many people who are innocent.
