50. Barbaric method of execution for a barbaric reasoning

Mon Aug 11, 2014, 04:57 PM

Aug 2014

I don't think I've ever heard of a man being stoned to death for adultery. I assume the men who stand by and do nothing who are themselves adulterers and who even might be contributing to the adulterous acts of these women never even come close to getting punished under their own religious laws. More barbarism.
