This is obviously just meant to be offensive. – Ramy Nov 29 '10 at 20:56

@Ramy: Many people say that Islam treats men and women equally. People may ask about examples where Islam (and Shari'ah law) apparently treat men and women differently. – Andrew Grimm Nov 29 '10 at 21:34

@Ramy: Are questions about practices only done by some interpretations of Islam off-topic? – Andrew Grimm Nov 30 '10 at 2:01

@Ramy: It's possible that there's an explanation. Maybe they didn't want people aiming for the woman's breasts, for example. – Andrew Grimm Dec 1 '10 at 8:41

@Andrew, I'm not saying there's no legitimacy to your question. I'm not even trying to suggest that stoning doesn't happen in Shari'a law. But without reference to which country differentiates the kind of stoning for men or for women as you mention, the question remains wildly over-general. Because even among countries that use stoning as capital punishment, i'm sure there's debate about how it should be used. When you add that you heard about it in Iran, then an Iranian can tell you, "yes this is true/false and it's because of xyz". – Ramy Dec 1 '10 at 22:10

You must mean polygyny. Polygamy, per se, is not permitted in Islam. – Subhani Mar 20 '11 at 1:20

Asking why with respect to religion is not usually a good approach. Better rephrased 'does Islam permit...' – apoorv020 May 8 '11 at 9:29

This question has a biased tone. Try to keep it neutral. Maybe ask "What verses in the Qur'an speak about Jews or the Jewish faith?" – Idris Mokhtarzada Feb 14 '11 at 0:46
