The Bible is full of similar harsh laws if you’re looking for them. However, the application of such Biblical and Qur’anic injunctions is not to be outside of due process of law, in a place or land where such law is accepted and applied by the society as a whole..."

Misinterpreted? Judge for yourself. Here's the video. He's lying when he blames the media. |
