Shi’ite jurisprudence, like its Sunni counterpart, prescribes stoning for adultery. This isn’t a matter of Larijani being “conservative,” but of his adherence to Islam as it has been taught and practiced from the beginning.
“Iranian Politician Defends Death By Stoning ‘As Good Islamic Law,’” Iran International, January 14, 2023:
Iranian conservative politician and former diplomat Javad Larijani has defended stoning for adultery, saying it is a good Islamic law protecting “family values.”
Stoning, or lapidation, is a method of capital punishment where people throw stones at a person until the subject dies from blunt trauma. It is attested as a form of punishment for unlawful sexual intercourse.
In an interview with Fars website of the Revolutionary Guard Saturday, Iran’s former Secretary of High Council for Human Rights claimed some good laws have been passed by the Islamic Republic to protect women’s rights.
He said stoning is one of the good Islamic laws and has been a very nice deterrent so far.
“When we say our women should enter the community, we should have provided them with a very safe work and social environment,” added Larijani stressing that “Stoning is a very important restraining law to protect the marriage contract of families.”
Stoning is not mentioned as a form of capital punishment in the canonical text of the Quran. However, Islamic scholars have traditionally postulated that there is a Quranic verse about it….
A doctor recruited to oversee the execution will pause the stoning periodically to check whether the victim is dead. If not, the battering continues.
Westman says
Any human participating in a ritual, slow, tortuous, killing(stoning) of another for any reason, has no, “family values”, and is morally inferior to the person being killed.
The rightful rebellion in Iran is not only against the Regime, it is casting off a tyranny disguised as religion. The Iranian citizens have not forgotten the 8-years war or public hangings.
The Persians are rejecting a brutal Arab philosophy that was designed to streamline the accumulation of war booty and importance for men, while laying the home responsibilities and drudgery on women.
Where are the West’s feminist, “women’s movement”, critics of the Iranian Regime’s killing of women and Islam’s persecution of the LGBTQ? Scared, frightened, submissive. They have no restrictions to castigating passive Western men because it is allowed. They are afraid to speak out at men who think women are chattel, given to them by Diety, with a right to enslave and beat them.
The only real feminists are the Iranian women who are losing their lives to bring freedom to their daughters.

About that, Iranian politician who defends killing women by stoning them to death is a good thing because it’s accord with Sharia. Exposes the cruelty and murder of Islamic law as well as the callous heartless mindset that many Muslim who because their religion.
So much so that Iranian politician actually refers to that brutal and savage Sharia practice as something that is “good’ and showing mercy and something “bad” or “evil.”
In the Bible in does read “Woe to that call good, and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20. [N.K.J.V.]
In addition, that brutal cruel oppressive misogynistic as well as murderous tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran is based on Sharia which denies females basic human rights is viciously harsh on all people, especially girls and women.
Related to this , it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this what an outright liar Rasis is, for he said that he is “a defender of human rights.” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore, Sharia is of no value or worth.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started. Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam and it’s a hoax. Therefore the Islamic “republic” of Iran is based in Islam and Sharia has its entire foundation build on a hoax.
OLD GUY says
Death by STONING, for Adultery, No wonder Muslim men want the women covered up from head to toe, or is the STONING only for the FEMALE participant in Adultery? And they Islam considers this HUMAN RIGHTS:

We know that torture is routinely used and condoned in Iran (and other Muslim places) so this is no surpise, executing people is not enough you an torture them to death as well.
