Is a Stoning Postponed a Stoning Denied?

The stoning of Amina Lawal, a Nigerian woman convicted last year in an Islamic court for committing adultery, has been postponed.

We first took notice of her case last year. Here's hoping that this is a prelude to the sentence being revoked and something like sanity being reestablished.

"Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer." Looks like the pacifying properties of soccer only go so far.

But in all seriousness, it never ceases to amaze me the numorous tenticles of our barbaric past that still reach up and strangle our slightly less barbaric present.

I don't see what all you puritans have against getting stoned. Not very libertarian of you.
