General argument for Islam.

[Mystic]

@Mystic Knight, I have one question for you. Now, we know that in Islamic countries, there are many people who have died due to being stoned to death, mostly women of course. Now, we know that stoning exists in the Old Testament and possibly the New Testament, but it isn't mentioned ever in the Qu'ran. Now, it seems to me that Islam was created because of the barbaric practice of stoning. So, why do Islamic countries use this old Jewish death penalty?

I think in the same way revelations in the past were distorted,  Islam became distorted despite clear verses of Quran. Take for example the case of stoning. Suratal Noor is in context of a married woman (Aisha the wife of the Prophet) getting accused of adultery and this was a response to that.  And it mentions wife and husband too in another verse. Yet they take it as simply about non-married zina, in other words just fornication. 

Now mind you the penalty in Islam if you get caught in public by four witnesses is harsh, but only if it's four witnesses, and they have no right to go into people's houses to spy on them, and they would not be deemed trustworthy if they did. 

It's a harsh punishment to get lashed but this no where near stoning and death. The Quran said even the children of Israel were told they can only kill for two reasons, murder and people doing mischief in the land (I would say the latter can be interpreted to include rape since it disturbs the peace and causes an unsafe environment). 

This is the nature of evil among humanity, they distort what is revealed and follow fabrications. In the case of Islam, it's even worse, because you are going against explicit verses of Quran.
