I honestly think that some men are so disgusting and horrible and nasty.... thank god I lead the life I am able to lead. This girl was only a child, and even if the other account is true, and that she was 23, and had an affair, so what, its hardly the crime of the centuary is it. (And I can say that after being married for over 30 years my self) What on earth were people doing watching it, that seems so terribly horrible to.. Unless they are forced to watch, as a lesson. I dont understand anything at all, still, people have been cruel throughout history throughout the world, but its now 2008, we should realise its not either nice or necessary. I feel so sorry for those women born into cultures that see them as so 'invisible or useless'. Those 3 men are the ones to blame, not that poor young girl/woman. And even if she was having an affair, it was with a man, what has happened to him... I wish I could write something clever, I wish I could wave a magic wand, I wish we lived in a fair and civilized WORLD..

I cannot for the life of me understand the mentality of those people. Shame on those men for raping her, regardess of how old they thought she was! She was a child!! And that is what they think is a suitable punishment? She didn't even deserve a punishment, those men did. I really feel sorry for the children in those countries. I don't think any of us really know how good we do have it over here in the USA Good grief…this is insane! I cannot for the life of me understand the mentality of those people.

If she was convinced that she was at fault, guilty for it she may also have been misled into thinking that accepting the stoning was her penance or cleansing that would allow her to be welcomed into paradise after death. And that with no concept of the pain or terror she would feel when this sentence was actually carried out. Horrific. Does Islamic law really prescribe such things, or is this an abuse or local misinterpretation of Islamic law? I think that it may be possible the child requested to be stoned.

If I understand it correctly, her "crime" was being raped? How any country and any religion can allow and sanction the execution of a 13 year old by any method confounds me. I consider it murder by government/religion. And this crap about her wanting to be stoned. I believe that as much as I believe Dick Cheney. This is an amazing story.
