A few extremists? Howabout the hanging of homosexuals or the hanging of a mentally handicapped minor-aged girl who tempted adult men? The crimes described by the Iranian courts and the executions carried out by the government.

Trick question. The answer is: At one time or another, most all of them.
Who can forget the Spanish Inquisition, eh?
Being stoned to death at the hands of a Muslim or burned at the stake as so many were back then. Difference is Muslims haven't progressed out of the Dark Ages as other folks have...
Actually if the Spanish Royals didn't kick out the Arabs before and during the inquisition the middle East may have been very different now. Prior to that the Arabs were studying science and Greek philosophy. We can thank them for our number system which is Arabic otherwise maths would be very difficult using Roman numerals. After the inquisitions the Imams took advantage of the situation and pushed the Arabs to study Islam thereby solidifying their influence in the Middle East. Something the Catholic church failed to do in Europe where education flourished. That may be part of the reason why the Muslim world is stuck in the past.

I have the videos of the 16 y/o Kurdish girl being stoned to death, it is sick that her father and uncles do it with many onlookers gawking at her.

No, but it's only Muslim countries that it happens in, and Islam is the only religion that condones such barbaric behavior in this day and age.

But again, it ain't happening in all Muslim countries. You agree? Christianity doesn't condone this?

From the old testaments:
Quote:
21.21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, so that he die. So shalt thou put evil away from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.


Same can be found in Torah.


... and to polish up your knowledge, stoning to death is not an Islamic punishment. There's no mention of it in the Quran.

What about the other world religions/governments that condone capital punishment? Are they equally barbaric, or less so do to more "humane" methods of execution?

If it's a matter of the difference between death by torture or death by more "humane" methods, I don't think we much justification for claiming the moral high ground.

There's the rub, IMO.

Christians were released from the the law with the New Testament.

So, no Christianity does not condone it as the Jewish law was done away with.

Since you are quoting verses -

Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law fro righteousness to everyone that believeth

Jews were not Christians and the Old Testament was for the Jews.

According to my understanding, he was the end of the law.

Yes Jesus was a Jew, but he put an end to the law.

He did not say follow the law, he said follow him.
