when there is absolutely nothing you can do to change them, no.
go to their country to convert them to your ways and see what happens. |

i dont think she deserved to die because i was brought up with the laws here. |
Actually, Somalia is lawless so people can do whatever the they want and that is wrong. |

you're thinking like big brother now... everyone needs to live like we do or do as we tell them. |

when humans were less evolved and did whatever they wanted was this wrong too?
*and i'm not saying somalians are not evolved. |

they need to fix their own problems.
if none of their people are brave or smart enough to step up and take control then they deserve to rot. |

| didn't developed nations used to do the same thing historically? North American laws, customs, values (some) are simply more advanced, more evolved.. other countries are simply behind, imo. It's unfortunate but Somalia, China, Middle East, they will change its laws someday (probably not in my lifetime, smirk) |

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... |
I'm saying that if this act is as heinous in their country as it seems to be then why is the guy not being hunted down and "dealt with" in the same manner? Unless I'm not up with the times, it still takes two for this sort of thing? |

Yeah but killing someone is a totally different crime. Adultery is still wrong but then who were they to judge her? I guarantee you that each one of the individuals who participated in her death were not perfect human beings so what position were they in to make that call? Do you really think she deserved to die for that? I dont think so. |
Jesus said that much better... strange how a religion that holds a prophet in such high regard can simply disregard the totality of his ministry. |

My understanding is that Jesus was just a minor prophet, a miracle worker but his words don't mean anything compared to the Quran and the hadith? |

I can't think of any where adultery was punishable by being bludgeoned to death by big in' rocks. |

Ancient Assyrian/Babylonian laws? Pretty sure the Bible said something bad about adulterers in Deuteronomy |
