I am not aware of any religion that approves adultery, yet the only religion that addresses it is Islam. The punishment of stonening to death of any guilty of it is still the best if only we can see it reasonably. Bcos in the real sense.....
1. nobody likes public disgrace, as such that punishment will make man to distant himself from it.
2. even if he must commit it, it will not be publicly or freely, infact i am not aware of any rule that allows even married which is what Islam tries to address.. so that others will not be influenced.
3. By takin that punishment, you have been washd off that sin on earth which is better than the punishment in the hereafter (Allah knws best).
4. It will make parents pay attenttion to what their kids do. They will encourage them to get married earlier etc
But in our society today, due to freedom we all preach, girls walk d streets naked, strip dancing clubs are there, gays are seen kissin each other openly, dad could pregnant his daughter etc But on the streets of lagos today, we hv seen pple rushing to contribute tyres to burn a thief by just shoutin OLE!...but nobody has spoken against that....infact its seen as an appropriate act. But of of these thieveson the streets are products of these adultery we all clamour for.
wot abt this..[/i][/b]

My fellow Nigerians, I understand how you feel about Islam but the Quran and Mohammed (SAW) did not in any way mentioned that an adulterer be stoned to death. Instead should be flog just like beating ur kid for doing bad things. Adultry is specifically mentioned in two occassion in the holly Quran.
Quran 17 Verse 32: Nor come nigh to adultery
For it is a shameful (deed)
And an evil, opening the road
(To other evils)
and
Quran 24 Verse 2:The woman and the man
Guilty of fornication
Flog each of them
With a hundred stripes
And let a party of believers
Witness their punishment
The Quran Preaches Peace and Love but not the other way round.
