Graphic: Anatomy of a stoning

In Saturday’s National Post we look at the brutal practice of stoning. This method of execution is still practiced in certain countries, notably Iran, where it is used to punish adulterers and other criminals. The graphic below looks at how a stoning occurs (click on graphic for a full-size version):

  1. Sentencing people to death by stoning has two purposes, 1) kill the person sentenced as slowly and painfully as possible, 2) scare everyone else so they won’t do anything the judge doesn’t want.

  2. I consider that a crime against my fellow living creatures. I would hate to see such a thing done even to an insect or a rodent. I can’t imagine such evil. If I saw someone doing such a filthy thing to an animal, a cat or a dog, I would fly into a homocidal rage. I am sickened. If you really have to kill somebody, I guess you can shoot them in the head, or something, but this is never warranted. People who do this are criminals. It doesn’t matter that the government or your religion told you it was OK, this is a crime. But the thing is, according to the Hadiths, this is, in fact, the punishment for adultery committed by a married Muslim. There is no room for argument on that fact. A Muslim may be legally killed for three reasons: the murder of another Muslim where blood money has not been paid, for apostasy, and for adultery (meaning between married Muslims). The punishment for adultery of unmarried Muslims is a mere 100 lashes plus one year’s exile. The punishment for adultery by a married Muslim is stoning. This is Islam. To Mohammed, the most terrible crime he could imagine was the thought of another man touching one of his women and sullying his enormous manhood, so adultery has been enshrined as the most serious offence in the Islamic legal system, even greater than murder or rape or treason or anything. This is the single most important tenet of Sharia law, don’t ever let the Muslim liars tell you otherwise. This is the Islamic equivalent of murder-one. If you think I’m wrong, please research it yourselves. Pleeeeese.

  4. Barbarism indeed. Just think the muzzies have got that planned for the whole world. I have seen a map in Iran where the whole world is green meaning conquered for Islam. It was Shia Islam map. Stoning men, women and also the devil idols during the haj. Normally idols are venerated as symbols of the blesssed Mary, or Krishna etc but in islam they are stoned or smashed up if not a part of Islam. Only the Satan idol and the big black cube idols are permitted. The Kabba used to double up as the house of idolatry plus an idol back in Mo’s day but now it is just the most venerated idol in the world. In the East of course they have much bigger statues of Buddha.
    Stoning is definately the very emblem of Islam.

  5. I understand that back in his day Mo’s family ran the Kabba, making a living renting out space to the various religions for sacred images or in some cases stones.
