There were actually several. It wasn't stonning to death but it was public beheading i.e.guillotine.

Infact, there were tons of accusations made during the Medival Period. Also, it didn't matter if you were Rich or Poor. Maria Antoinette is a prime example.

Really, Marie Antoinette was beheaded for adultery? Wow, and all this time I thought it was because of the whole French Revolution and charges of treason thing.... oh wait... I was right.

Sure people were executed... but not for adultery. Also, there is a world of difference between a quick beheading and getting big fuckin' rocks thrown at your head until you die from brain injury or blood loss.

Sharia is the body of Islamic law. The term means "way" or "path"; it is the legal framework within which public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on Muslim principles of jurisprudence. It is not actually part of the canonical Qur'an; that is to say, it is not believed to be the direct word of Allah by Muslims, but rather the interpretation of it.

Sharia deals with many aspects of day-to-day life, including politics, economics, banking, business law, contract law, sexuality, and social issues. Some Islamic scholars accept Sharia as the body of precedent and legal theory established before the 19th century, while other scholars view Sharia as a changing body, and include Islamic legal theory from the contemporary period.

There is not a strictly codified uniform set of laws pertaining to Sharia. It is more like a system of devising laws, based on the Qur'an, Hadith and centuries of debate, interpretation and precedent.

Before the 19th century, legal theory was considered the domain of the traditional legal schools of thought. Most Sunni Muslims follow Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki or Shafii, while most Shia Muslims follow Jaafari (Hallaq 1997, Brown 1996, Aslan 2006).

Laws and practices under Sharia:

The penalty for theft

In accordance with the Qur'an and several hadith, theft is punished by imprisonment or amputation of hands or feet, depending on the number of times it was committed and depending on the item of theft.

The penalty for adultery

In accordance with hadith, stoning to death is the penalty for married men and women who commit adultery. For unmarried men and women, the punishment prescribed in the Qur'an and hadith is 100 lashes.

Originally posted by chinamon i dunno man.. different cultures look at life differently. who are we to judge them? is it because we are taught to think we are better than everyone else? im pretty sure she knew what would happen to her if she was caught committing adultery but she still chose to do so. if we had the death penalty in canada and you chose to kill someone and you get caught, it is nobody's fault but your own.

wouldn't be surprised if she was pressured to in some way

And there's the problem with human interpretation of Sharia. People's own points of view of how Sharia is interpreted, hence many schools of thought. (and some schools radically differ from others)

Another link LOL :-

Some versions of Sharia law require that married or divorce persons found guilty of Zina (adultery) be executed by stoning. Countries which are predominately Muslim or which have a large minority of Muslims vary greatly in their treatment of people found guilty of this crime. According to Amnesty International:

Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Djibouti, Macedonia, Mozambique, and Turkmenistan have formally abandoned execution as the penalty for all crimes, including adultery and other sex "crimes."
Albania, Bosnia, the Russian Federation, and Turkey still retain the death penalty on the books, but do not perform it in practice. Both the Russian Federation and Turkey are expected to formally abandon it in the near future.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Sudan, and some of the northern states of Nigeria practice a very strict form of Sharia law. So do the states controlled by the Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) party in Malaysia.

You're right it was because of the French Revolutions. But she was accussed and behaaded for adultery. Maybe you might want to study the depths of the French Revolution again.

Yes, infact people were accussed and for adultery. Henry VIII had one of his wifes beheaded for adultery. Jeez not sure what history books you read....

And it doesn't matter how you look at it, beheading or getting stoned to death its still savage...

These women were executed for political reasons. Adultery was merely an excuse, and in a way, adultery against the king was considered treasonous.

Anne Boleyn got her head cut off because she couldn't give Henry a boy. Actually, there was another of Henry's queen that was executed for adultery too. And I think she did sleep around.

Marie Antoinette should be pretty darn obvious. She was highly unpopular among the public.
