Brazil, a close ally of Iran, has offered to give the 43-year-old mother of two asylum.

Brazil and Iran allies? Since when?

That's for followers of Islam to decide.

At present, they support torture & corporal punishment unless its done by allied troops in warfare.

The torch bearer for liberty and democracy, the USA, wouldn't execute people, would they?

[ummmm]

Not in that barbaric manner for a crime that shouldn't actually be a crime.

[sandyRoe]

True, Ummm. I shouldn't have mixed this potential outrage in Iran with USA policies.

Man murders husband.................he should suffer the penalty of whichever legal system applies in that particular country.

Wife of murdered man is having or has had an affair with the murderer of he husband.

Are the two incidents connected?

If there is proof that they are indeed connected then the woman should suffer the penalty for that crime of the country of incident.

[ummmm]

Define 'affair' from a womans point of view in a Country like Iran. That could mean talking to him...

[Bobbisox]

stone the stupid Mullahs who send out such edicts

[Sqad]

ummmm....I don´t know the facts of the case....you may well be correct.

[Sqad]

ummmm....just read it again and it says "adultery".....are you suggesting that that might mean talking to him? I doubt it.

[ummmm]

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was convicted in May 2006 of having an “illicit relationship” with two men and received 99 lashes as her sentence. Despite this, she was then also convicted of “adultery while being married", which she has denied, and sentenced to death by stoning.

An 'illicit relationship' it's likely to mean something as simple as being caught talking to them. Was 99 lashes not enough?

[sandyRoe]

Private Eye used to use the phrase, "Ugandan Conversation" as an euphemism. Perhaps they do something similar in Iran?

[Sqad]

ummmm.....no, not if she connived with her lover to kill her husband.

As I say, I do not know the full facts of the case.

Well that's Gods followers for you!!!!
