As an aside, I am not sure that a casual observer would recognize the weight of what is going on the the photograph nocomme1 posted.

Weighty, indeed.

I believe it is technically correct. However, Islam, as mentioned, is not just a religion. It is an ideology, a doctrine, but also a legal and a political system, as the case has been in Iran since 1979. Actually, politics and Islam have always been intertwined since its birth. Therefore, technically, these Islamic countries can claim that what they do e.g. stoning, honor killing, flogging, lashing, child marriage, Ghesas (blood money) and so forth are quite "legal" so far as the Islamic law is concerned, and are not "human rights violations" by their definition in Islam. IMO, the only way one can stop these barbaric practices is to have a secular government & constitution in mentioned countries. In other words, in Iran's case, for example, get rid of "Islamic Republic" as a political system, and its sharia based laws. Thanks for the link. I've added a link and an excerpt to this post on my blog in the comment section. http://plateauofiran.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/stop-stoning-sangsar-law-in-iran/ Your readers may also be interested in this series - it comes in three parts so far; part 4 is yet to be written: http://plateauofiran.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/status-of-iranian-women-pre-and-post-islam-part-3/

It is stunning to me the lengths that people will take political correctness. Anyone who thinks that the spread of Sharia is a non-issue should examine the rise in Sharia related deaths including, but not limited to, so called "honor killings" which have already begun to show up in the US. As an aside, I am not sure that a casual observer would recognize the weight of what is going on the the photograph nocomme1 posted. That unfortunate woman is about to be stoned to death. Part of the procedure for that barbaric practice is that the condemned is buried in the ground up to the neck. She is then stoned. <a href="http://plateauofiran.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/stop-stoning-sangsar-law-in-iran/" rel="nofollow">Plateau of Iran</a> has more details including the precise regulations that the stones themselves have to meet.
