Stoning to Death
Introduction
Stoning to death is a cruel insane Islamic punishment given to people who are married but still voluntarily have sex outside marraige. This punishment was ordered by the "merciful" Prophet, who ofcourse was the messenger of the "merciful" Allah.
Many hadith, including Sahih Bukhari give proof that Stoning was ordered and practiced by Muhammed, for example:
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 413:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :
The Jew brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who have committed (adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. He ordered both of them to be stoned (to death), near the place of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque."

What happens in Stoning?
In stoning to death, the victims's hands are tied behind their backs and their
bodies are put in a cloth sack. Then, this human "package" is buried in a hole,
with only the victims heads showing above the ground. If its a woman, she is
buried upto her shoulders. This is to give her an seemingly equal (but
nonetheless impossible) chance to escape recognizing her lesser physical
strength.
After the hapless individual has been secured in the hole, people start chanting
"Allah hu Akbar" (meaning, God is great), and throw palm sized stones at
the head of the victim from a certain distance (a circle is drawn).
The stones are thrown until the person dies or until he/she escapes out of the
hole and crosses the circle. Escaping is impossible, given that the individual's
hands are tied behind their backs and they are buried in a hole upto their necks
or shoulders (in the case of males and females respectively).
Naturally, the procedure is extremely barbaric and bloody.
This is an extremely
sick and disgusting punishment, and thus watching this video can make you weak
or possibly give you nausea and shock for several days. Please do not watch if
you are weak-hearted.
Stoning to death is still carried out in the current era, in Iran and was carried out in the previous Taliban-ruled Afghanistan
