Stoning adulterers is not “extremist”; it is Islamic law. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, even maintained that it was originally in the Qur’an:
‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession.” Sufyan added, “I have memorized this narration in this way.” ‘Umar added, “Surely Allah’s Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.” (Bukhari, vol. 8, bk. 82, no. 816)
“Allah’s Apostle” is, of course, Muhammad, who did indeed carry out stonings. Here is the hadith in which he challenges the rabbis about stoning, and in which there is amidst the barbarism and brutality a final act of love and compassion:
The Jews came to Allah’s Apostle and told him that a man and a woman from amongst them had committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah’s Apostle said to them, “What do you find in the Torah (old Testament) about the legal punishment of Ar-Rajm (stoning)?” They replied, (But) we announce their crime and lash them.” Abdullah bin Salam said, “You are telling a lie; Torah contains the order of Rajm.” They brought and opened the Torah and one of them solaced his hand on the Verse of Rajm and read the verses preceding and following it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him, “Lift your hand.” When he lifted his hand, the Verse of Rajm was written there. They said, “Muhammad has told the truth; the Torah has the Verse of Rajm. The Prophet then gave the order that both of them should be stoned to death. (‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “I saw the man leaning over the woman to shelter her from the stones.” (Bukhari, vol. 4, bk. 56, no. 829)
Even the monkeys practiced stoning, according to another hadith:
During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them. (Bukhari, vol. 5, bk. 58, no. 188)
Muhammad’s example is, of course, normative for Islamic behavior, since “truly in the messenger of Allah you have a good example for him who looks to Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much” (Qur’an 33:21).
“Woman, 20, faces death by stoning for cheating on her husband in first case for a decade,” by Ryan Fahey, Mirror, July 13, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A woman in Sudan will be stoned to death for cheating on her husband in the first such case in 10 years.
Maryam Alsyed Tiyrab, 20, was arrested in Sudan’s White Nile state last month before she was found guilty of adultery by a court on June 26.
Maryam – who had returned to her family home after separating from her husband – claims to have been interrogated by police and forced to give an illegal confession.
The sharia judge ordered she be stoned to death, a decision she has appealed at Sudan’s High Court.
The 20-year-old says she was denied a lawyer and that the court didn’t obtain a police complaint before the commencement of her trial.
In Sudan – which uses sharia as its legal structure – people convicted of Hudud crimes, which include theft, highway robbery, adultery and apostasy, can have their hands and feet cut off, be flogged or even killed by the state.
The last time a woman was sentenced to death by stoning for cheating on her partner in Sudan was in 2013 – but the woman escaped death when the High Court overturned the decision….
Stoning as a form of capital punishment is still practiced in several sharia states, including Iran, the UAE, Qatar, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen….

Not a word from the Far Left My Body,My Choice ”female” blue haired, nose ringed feminists in the Western World who call America a rape culture, a sexist culture, and its ruled by white men….
Their silence is deafening to my ears.
Keith O says
You noticed that too huh?
Total silence here in Australia as well. Maybe it’s because Islam is the great feminist religion and they would never murder a woman!
Shawn says
Comical and sad watching how these people take upon the Cult that conquered them.Islam is cancer,period!
Walter Sieruk says
Islam with its Sharia is a religion of cruel, brutal deadly misogyny.
As Brigitte Gabriel wrote in her book titled THEY MUST BE STOPPED on page 172 it reads “Woman in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”
Infidel says
So much for the regime change that happened in Sudan some years ago. It was supposed to get rid of the shariah state that was Sudan, but nothing has changed
European pagan says
Disgusting sharia…
Yes, it is still practised. Last month, in an app, someone from one of these rubbish countries shared something about Islam, I tried to open his eyes what kind of religion he has, and he said, STONING* IS RELIGION, NOT CULTURE. (He was so deeply in the sh.t that I could not help)
*of adulterers and homosexuals
jca reid says
what about the man? Was it a case of a Muslim man raping her & then claiming it was consensual? Always a get out clause for the Muslim man. Always. Please view on Youtube: Lloyd de Jongh #1. It explains Islamic Law from their top Law Book, The Reliance of the Traveller.
The posts are easily followed. Recently he posted #14. Usually they’re about 20minutes long, some are much shorter, a couple longer. Get yourselves educated about this perverse, Fascistic Death Cult!
Our Politicians are NOT going to do one thing about it, unless their voters are educated & threaten to dirch them for politicians who will act!
James Lincoln says
Compare and contrast the feature article with Scripture:
John 8:7 KJB
“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
John Allan says
A stone-age ‘civilisation’ …
Very apt!!
