Brutal Punishment Still Carried Out In Some Countries

Many of us think of stoning as a punishment practiced in ancient societies. But it still happens
in some countries in the Middle East and Africa. "The Stoning of Soraya M." is a film based on the true story of a young Iranian woman stoned to death by her fellow villagers after her estranged husband had falsely accused her of adultery.
VOA's Julie Taboh sat down with the film's director and its leading actress to talk about this brutal form of punishment.

When people like you can not defend the bloody Sharia law, Then say OH THIS IS NOT ISLAM........Then what is Islam? ??? All the brutal killing, stoning, hanging, cutting lamb, repressing women, forcing 9 years old girl to marry to 40 years old men..these are only a tip of ice berg.for your information according to the historian Mohammad was a sick schizophrenic and this is a fact. No profit came out with such curl punishment but Mohammed and you want to tell me this guy was not mentally sick.

don't argue with these disbelievers, they are enemies of islam,they can just be behind a computer and open their big mouth. But don't worry my brothers and sister, The Quran says, everybody shall have to die. let the day of judgement come, all will know who is ALLAH...

iran is extremist n terrorist. they shia is not islam, but practising sharia modified law. n they iran or shia just to show to the world n make islam is bad to the world. trust me, alquran did said, forgiveness n taubat is better than practising hudud sharia law. prophet p.b.h also said that. u must know iran or shia or america n israiel is terrorist.

@tangierside Since you profess to be a Muslim, and Mohammad married a 6 year old child, tells me that you agree with the act of marring children. Why would Allah punish someone who does, when his own messenger did the same? I never said that Islam is a bad religion but merely point out it’s effects in the world. You can judge it for yourself along with the rest of the world.

I don't have any idols, maybe you shouldn't either! Didn't Mohammad removed all the idols except for the black stone?

[tangierside]

@connielane who said that i agree with these acts, i didn't say that is their rights to marry a child it's pathetic what they do and Allah will punish them, i just comment ur comment, u said in general that islam is a bad religion, and you didn't respect Our prophet. islam gives me peace and a lot of things, i just asked you to respect my religion and our prophet and don't tell bad things about them,

would you like that someone insult your mother or your idol, so me neither,

If you said Muslim are the worst ,well I said catholic are the worst ,the other day I hear in the news a guy who rape his own 7 months baby daughter , the baby is in the hospital close to die(rEally sad)& one guy ask him Do you believe in God?he said Yes I'm Catholic !!!!!!! so NOW SHOULD I CALL ALL THE CATHOLIC RAPERS IF YES ,THEN YOU ARE A RAPER !!!!!!! Every religion has their own people some a really bad and some are good !so dont said Muslim are the worst because you dont know half of them.

@1170OP and jesus was a handyman who was just a rhetoric genius of his time. i think all the "miracles" have a symbolic meaning, i don't believe that he actually healed people like the blind man f..e..... he just "opened his eyes", you know what i mean? nevertheless, these are things people really believe in, and one should respect people that faith in a higher power.
