Stoned to death

[Randi]

Without thinking too much about it, my immediate reaction to this is that women and men should have the same punishment for whichever crime they commit - and certainly not a death sentence or being stoned or whipped for adultery! Geeesh! That problem they should sort out in between themselves.

Concerning women being covered, I believe most do it volunteringly, but I do find it irritating. It would be nice to be able to see who you talk to. The issue has been up here also, and one of the questions has been what to do about people passing through the pasport control in airports, and when you have a buspass - the driver can’t see if it’s the right person on the picture, so people can cheat.

I agree.
But we have already been enlightened on the EQUALITY Islamic Laws by one of our members here who has been there (so therefore must know more than us all).
I think we can all say the laws in the Middle East are equal for both male and female, but are in practice are actually quite one sided, and favour the men.
