Second, there was no proof they actauly broke the law (comitted adultery). So in fact, they were senteced against this stupid "law"
To conclude - not only you have a stupid law, but you do not actually require a proof in order to sentence people to death...

Yup, pretty stupid stuff, but we have some pretty silly laws too looked at through a different cultural context. I mean, you canget life in prison for carrying a kilo of opium across a border. You can get 5 years just for being in possession and lighting up certain recreation drugs. Pretty goofy stiff when viewed through the lens of some other cultures. Some may say that the jail time isn't that bad, but wait until you're someone's biatch and you're getting violated every night. Stoning almost seems like a better punishment (in a real twisted way). I don't condone the stuff that goes on over there, but it is their country, their culture, and we have to respect the way they conduct themselves in their own home country.
