But your somewhat right about the Qaran not being about the death penalty, but you are also somewhat wrong.
Neat how religion works that way 
Does Islam support the death penalty?
[/FONT][/COLOR]You can read the whole thing here, again for me its not a matter of what some book says but what people do under that belief system, its action not words that matter and in that case Islam most definitely is for capital punishment.

Interesting. I didn't know any of that. I've always been taught that only god himself can dish out punishment.
Those quotes could be interpreted to not include adultery, but I guess it depends how radical the person is that's reading it. I'm sure A person that is angry will read it and interpret it to be convenient to justify his actions.
