“Again: Would you be outraged if Saddam Hussein was stoned???”

If his only crime had been adultery, absolutely. Since he was a mass murderer who routinely tortured his victims to death, stoning would have been an appropriate punishment. The trick is to fit the punishment to the crime. The bible says an eye for an eye. Are you beginning to understand?

I always understood. I wondered if you understood.

This is the first time apart from your emotional outbursts that I received a valid answer to my inquiries.

All I am asking for is valid reasons on why adultery should not be a capital offense besides “I think it’s yucky”, “you’re so uncivilized”, “I hate Iran”, “the muslims are jerks”.

Those statements may all may be true but it’s irrelevant on whether adultery should or should not be a capital offense.
