"Hussein's girlfriend, who is now said to be pregnant, will also be executed by stoning after she gives birth."

I mean, okay, adultery is douchey, but not death penalty douchey.
- Brian Chang
But what's worse is that his pregnant girlfriend is to be stoned to death as well (what was her "crime"?).
- Tanath
Yeah, I guess we don't really know if she was a knowing participant in his adultery. Not that it would warrant being stoned to death in any event.
- Brian Chang
Obviously the "adultery" in question is between this Hussein dude and his girlfriend. How can she not be a knowing participant?

At first, I was thinking the adultery was that he cheated on her, but then I realized that they also consider any sex outside of marriage to be adultery. If he had cheated though, then she'd have nothing to do with his adultery and it would be all the more absurd. I've seen news reports of them doing that kind of thing though.

It's very thoughtful of them to let the baby live before killing both its parents.
