Nigel, 
There are even video's of stoning online on Google and Yahoo video's. There have been numerous articles in the last few years about retrograde 6th century abominable punishments according the the conventions of Sharia Law of Islamic faith . One was a young teenager who had relation with a boy and they stoned her to death for the family "honor". There are Islamic fundamentalist Personal Channels on Justin.tv ("Raah") and a few others that show poor victum's having their fingers cut off while being tightly held by several men, Men being led to a grassy area for decapitition and the head proudly displayed sitting on the chest of the dead body. I posted a few of the 'Family honor" murder articles on this forum a while back. I find these idea's, concepts, rationalizations and practices abhorrent, abominable and psychotic abberation in this modern world of today. The Taliban are perfect example of terrorist suppressive degenerate religionism and the Wahabi of Saudi Arabia was a mentor to them. In England they are requesting the right to install Sharia Law parelell and eqeal to the British Justice Institute itself. people never studied the History of conquest by "perfusion" and "suffusion" and population displacement that is evidenced in History as a social passive technique long established and practiced. A best present time is China and Tibet where China is actively practising this historic method with a vengeance. One morning in a future we may wake up to a dreadful reality that slowly insidiously pervaded our social space and beingness, beware my friends of greeks bearing gifts.

Dear Nigel, 

Death by stoning because of adultery also exists in Afghanistan and Somalia. 
>From time to time I am signing petitions against such barbarism, this is not the 
first. I remember some years ago a similar case in Somalia, her name was Aisho 
...dont remember the surname. And now Sakineh... the poor women has a son and 
a daughter and is only 42 years old. Also I just read that in Iran there is 
also another 10 women waiting death-roll sentence, for the same reason.

Dear Erica 

In spite of the considerable political considerations you mention, all of which 
are accurate, there have been some quite remarkable social and political changes 
over recent times. Avaaz is one organisation making real headway in some similar 
situations, so all may not be lost. 

In any event, if we do nothing then certainly nothing will happen! So thank you 
for contacting some of your fellow members. If everyone on t/talk does the same 
a snowball reaction may occur. 

Kind regards 
Nigel
