On . . . June 29, 2006, a court in the Islamic Republic of Iran sentenced Malak Ghorbany, a 34-year-old mother of two, to a brutal death by stoning after finding her guilty of adultery. . . . Two men who were found guilty of murder in the same court were only given jail sentences of six years. . . . The size of the stones used during the execution are required to be . . . not so large that they would kill a woman too quickly, nor so small that they would fail to cause serious injury or pain . — A letter, unanswered, to George W. Bush from John Whitehead, head of the Rutherford Institute, one of the nation's premier civil liberties organizations. The part about the stones is from Article 104 of the Iranian penal code.

Sun. 11 Dec 2005 Tehran, Iran, Dec. 11 – An Islamic court in Tehran sentenced a woman to stoning for adultery in the town of Varamin, near Tehran, a state-run daily reported on Sunday.

The woman, only identified by her first name, Massoumeh, was given prison sentence for aiding her husband Ismaeil in the murder of a brother and sister, the daily Hamshahri reported. She was condemned to stoning for adultery, the paper added.

Ismaeil, Massoumeh's husband, also murdered their two children in 2004, but has not been sentenced to stoning.

Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, adultery by a married woman is punishable by stoning. The law is very specific about the manner of execution and types of stones which should be used. Article 102 states that men will be buried up to their waists and women up to their breasts for the purpose of execution by stoning. Article 104 states, with reference to the penalty for adultery, that the stones used should "not be large enough to kill the person by one or two strikes, nor should they be so small that they could not be defined as stones".

Allahu Akbar! The Rapture, I mean the Return of the Mahdi Will Destroy The Imperialist Great Satan!
