Stoning the Adulterer is Effective Because?

[AtheistCreed]

I know Qur'nists. I have been arguing with them over several issues. But I was not talking about them in my post. I was talking about people who are, officially, Sunni but they have some tendency to Qur'anism.

OK, from even the religious fundamentalism viewpoint hadiths sahih (accurate sayings) are not considered to an absolute certainty to be said by Mohammed but they are, to a large extent, supposed to be said by the him. This is the crucial point from which most moderate cultured Muslims run their inadequate "reformations", that Mohammed's hadiths are not certain to be said by him. This gives them the courage to refuse many religious texts and, subsequently, the religious teachings which are based upon them.

I see.

Yes well as far as debates are concerned, the issues in the Qur'an are surmountable enough on their own. But by rejecting hadith they can claim that Aisha wasn't a little girl, adults cannot breastfeed on grown women to become Mahrem, stoning of the adulterer is not a real punishment, you can't marry infants and derive pleasure from them, etc...

So yes by weaseling away from hadith they can hold a slightly higher moral ground than their hadith-accepting counter-parts on some topics.
