I don’t think OT law can be appealed to here (that was established for the Jews for God’s very specific purpose for them... you can’t claim a right to anything that was given to them unless it’s given to you independently).

However, for other reasons, I would still weigh in in favor of it. Rape, murder, treason, and adultery are IMHO the four capital offenses, and should be treated as such.

My big issue with the Muslim conception of that is that, all too off, the man gets off scott free. I’m afraid I will have to applaud this event as a possible step away from that intolerable brand misogynism.

Rape murder and treason certainly merit strong punishment. But to stone someone to death puts us on a par with the barbarians we are trying to stop. As to stoning someone for adultery is beyond the pale. Give the adulterer to a divorce attorney. That's punishment enough.

Adultery a capital offense?

Maybe it’s actually your brain, not your spleen, that’s exploded.
