Iran, USA, Canada, it makes no difference when religious fundamentalists are in charge. If there was a survey of Americans and the question was how to deal with adultery and stoning was one of the options a certain percentage of US citizens would check that box.

However, Iran is very enlightened in it's method, since one good stone could put the person out of their misery. During the reign of Tamerlain male adulterers were wrapped in a rug with maggots. Women were put in a cloth bag with cats and people would beat the bag.

There is definately truth to this.

Lets not forget Alan Turing:

"During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he was head of Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers, including the method of the bombe, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine."

Here's the thanks he recieves from his country for helping save countless lives:

"Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952 — homosexual acts were illegal in the United Kingdom at that time — and he accepted treatment with female hormones (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. He died in 1954, several weeks before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined it was suicide; his mother and some others believed his death was accidental."
