Wow, nice research. I'm impressed.
Yeah, easily impressed I guess. He seemed to want to single out Iran (which I never specifically mentioned) yet from the same article he's quoting he forgot this lil tid-bit on Afghanistan

Quote:
“There is no way to say how many stonings took place, but it was widespread” when the Taliban ruled, said Nader Nadery, a senior commissioner on the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission. “Often the man escaped, and the woman only was punished, especially if he had connections or was a member of the Taliban.” Other sexual crimes were accorded similarly grotesque penalties: homosexuals, for instance, had a brick wall collapsed onto them.
And

Quote:
In Afghanistan, by contrast, stoning seems to be on the rise, despite its unpopularity.

“You do see an increase in these so-called applications of justice by the Taliban in morality cases,” Mr. Nadery said. “Over the last seven months, 200 people have been killed for showing disapproval or criticizing actions by the Taliban.”
This guy wants to talk about women being abused by husbands and boyfriends which is ILLEGAL in the same light as these SENTENCES being carried out.... sentences for "crimes" like adultery and criticizing the government.
