This story has been all over several forums I frequent and was curious about the Lounge's feelings about it.

So we are talking about Pakistan here? A woman that is cought cheating is sentences to go to prison? My compliments. I hope americans (especially the right wing rednecks in the mid west) see that the society that they want (and have) does not differs so much from countries like Pakistan and afghanistan. The only difference is the god they believe in) I'm also quite sure that many of them would favour the legalization of stoning as punishment.

Let's make clear that I don't have any respect for these three persons whatsoever. But being killed because of cheating just is not first world business.
