So you’re telling us that the Hadith is over the Quran? The Quran gives the punishment for adultery and fornication and makes no distinction. Let me see if I have this right we take a woman or man out and stone them to death, but yet we halal an animal with mercy? Stoning has nothing to do with Islam. I don’t care if you bring every scholar in the world of Islam to confirm this inhuman behavior, I will never accept such barbarity. I accept the Quranic verdict, period. I hope the Western nations will continue shed light on this matter. The world needs to witness how just how pathetic and inhuman we are. The West needs to fight and defeat this nonsense.

Stoning is part of sharia law and stoning is specifically permitted. From Muslim Hadith no. 4206: And when he had given command over her and she was put in a hole up to her breast, he ordered the people to stone her. Khalid b. al–Walid came forward with a stone which he threw at her head, and when the blood spurted on his face he cursed her . . .”

And, from the Koran itself: Sura 24:2: The fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. [This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime (illegal sex), but if married persons commit it (illegal sex), the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allah’s law.

So, if Muhammad did it, it’s the perfect thing to do, according to Islam. Muhammad was the perfect example for humanity and must be emulated. That’s the crux of this issue. No Muslim can criticize Muhammad nor Islam.

And, Muhammad did participate in stoning:

(Hadith) Volume 8, Book 82, Number 806:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

A man came to Allah’s Apostle while he was in the mosque, and he called him, saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse.’” The Prophet turned his face to the other side, but that man repeated his statement four times, and after he bore witness against himself four times, the Prophet called him, saying, “Are you mad?” The man said, “No.” The Prophet said, “Are you married?” The man said, “Yes.” Then the Prophet said, ‘Take him away and stone him to death.” Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: I was among the ones who participated in stoning him and we stoned him at the Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but we over took him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death.”

Volume 8, book 8, number 817 is particularly long but, as narrated by Ibn ‘Abbas, it says: “Allah’s Apostle (Muhammad) did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him.”

They probably realised that they were being a wee bit too truthful and hastily retracted the links to stoning in islam via media interviews, for fear of being stoned to death themselves.

No Islam did not think of first, seeing that Islam was a “religous” afterthought. But this and all barbaric act are now firmly cemented into the belief system known as Islam.
