And why is that? Is it not an extreme and unjust punishment to kill somebody alongside murderers and rapists for being unfaithful to their partners? Being unfaithful to the partner, marital infidelity, disobeying federal and the most importantly religious laws, probably giving birth to illegitimate children...are all crimes that worth such punishment. It's the justice itself. Justice given on the grounds of religious Law. The basis for such punishment to to repent for one's sins so as to be forgiven in the afterlife, but what if the person in question believes in no such afterlife or God? You may believe that such actions will result in eternal damnation, but what of that Atheist you spoke of? The punishment in question should fit the crime committed. If you take someone's life, you pay with your own, be it through decades in prison or lethal injection, but adultery is only befitting of such punishment if religion is involved. The United Nations in fact views criminalizing adultery as infringement on the Right to Privacy as well as discriminatory against women. If "Allah" were not to prohibit Zina, would you agree with such actions?
