A married woman has been sentenced to death by stoning in Saudi Arabia after admitting to adultery - while the man she had sex with has escaped with a punishment of 100 lashes.

The 45-year-old Sri Lankan woman who had worked as a maid in Riyadh since 2013, and her partner, also a migrant from the island nation, were both convicted of adultery in August.

However, their sentences were very different. 

While the woman was told by a Sharia court she would be pelted with stones until she died for cheating on her husband, her lover was handed only lashes - because he was single at the time.

Good thing we didn’t bug them after 9/11, although 19 of the terrorists were Saudi Arabian and they’ve given 10s of billions to them over the years.

There’s so many of our leaders in bed with the Sauds, i’m surprised they can all fit.

Liberals are always telling us that ISIS is not the real Islam. I would like to ask them if this Saudi Islam is the real Islam.

Well, she probbably tempted the man who was unable to resist the temptation. So it really was her fault more than the man's fault.

There is no personal responsibility in Islam. Everything is someone else's fault.

“and her partner”. Why not just say boyfriend or husband like it used to be?

Of course I fully expect Chewbacca and her husband Obama t deal with the Saudi’s, call the UN and put sanctions on them due to their vile way they treat people.

NOT.

Why don’t they practice equality: both people involved in the act would get stoned if it was truly equal.

I never had much respect or trust for Obama when he bowed to the Saudi King, who does nothing about women getting stoned. Oh the hypocrite! And Michelle remains silent about those Saudis too.

Noo... you didn’t read the article. He was single so it was a lesser crime. She was married so she must die.

She committed adultery, he committed fornication...

Makes perfectly good sense /S
