That's good PM. You agree with a law that will stone a woman to death if she can't prove that her pregnancy was the result of rape for example.
Incredible !!!! you display amazing level of IGNORANCE !! you are picking one case and you are trying to generalize it !!
And you're proud of a law which will result in the child growing up without a mother and with the shame that he/she was born of adultery and that his/her mother paid for that child's life with her own.
You see ! the woman was not even stoned but you as always rush to judge the law without even knowing anything about the sharia law !!
You're proud of a law that will kill a woman for having a child out of wedlock, regardless of the circumstances.
Sharia law does not kill for nothing, THERE MUST BE 4 WITNESSES TO PROVE IT!!! GOT ITTTTTTTTT ???
What if the woman and man aren't married but love each other and the child was born out of an act of love? Nope, go to the wall and stand there and be killed by manner of stoning. Yeah you be proud of such a law PM. Shows what kind of person you are on the inside.
If a man and woman love each others why the HELL they dont get married ?????
Do you enjoy walking around with your head in the sand? You only see and hear what you want to be witness to. Sad really.
it is you who like to walk your head in the sand:

Such VIOLENT societies have NO place in Islam, Islam( despite its harsh laws which work mainly as deterent ) strives to establish healthy safe societies, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT AND THIS IS WHAT WE WILL DO TO ACHIEVE SUCH SOCIETIES, if you are happy with the above statistics then good for you bells !!!
Do you have any idea of how much pressure the court was under at the time? Not just from the world community but from the Nigerian Government?
As I said, no pressure no matter how big it is can change the sharia law...it is enough that we kicked the
MISS PROSTITUTE( miss world ) contest from Nigeria to somewhere else where HEDONISM is tolerated !! Hedonism and animalistic behaviour have NO place within Islamic societies.
Are you even aware that the Nigerian government has deemed the punishments under Sharia Law to be unconstitutional? Shame they haven't done anything about it though.
BS.
Actually, no PM. It's you who is pathetic! Some people aren't even represented when their case is presented to the Sharia Court and some of the judges don't even have legal training:
I did not know you are legal expet !! hmmmm very interesting !!
Yet you classify such a law that will stone a person to death to be superior? Such a law is beneath even the barbaric electric chair and lethal injections used in the US.
Well, We think it is SUPERIOR, you think it is not...so, what is the problem ?
Do you actually GET that this woman was sentenced to death by stoning in the first place and that she won her case on a SECOND appeal?
DO YOU ACTUALLY GET THAT THIS WOMAN WAS FREED BY THE SAME SHARIA COURT ???????
Are you even aware of how she ended up in front of the court PM? She was forced to confess to her so called crime of having a child out of wedlock. Lucky for the father that all he had to do was say it wasn't me and he was acquitted:
What a load of BS ?
Amazing how such a lack of due process resulted in a woman being charged and sentenced as she was in the first place. Yeah you should be proud of such a legal system PM. PATHETIC!
Indeed, PATHETIC !! the fact that the SAME SHARIA court freed this woman is not enough for you bells....you know what ? you are such a joke !
Our sharia law is superior and more fair than yours:
