TEHRAN (Reuters) – A man was stoned to death in Iran for adultery but the woman involved in the case repented, the judiciary said on Tuesday, suggesting her life was spared.
……
He [spokesman for the Islamists] said the judiciary preferred that such sentences were reduced to imprisonment if the victim’s family agreed, but made clear Iran would not bow to outside pressure: “We enforce our rules and regulations within the framework of Islamic standards.”
So Islam means peace, and burying people up to their waists and stoning them to death. Gotcha!
This is the government that President Obama thinks we can strike an honorable deal with.
