The thing to remember is in an Islamic state, the actual occurrence of stoning would be very rare. And before that to happen you need 4 witnesses to see the act. And before that Muslims are supposed to lower their gaze, wear modest dress, never be alone in private, not allowed to physically touch or flirt, or uncover the 'awrah, etc.... so there's so many barriers for a true Muslim. Having said that, if a Muslim and Muslimah want to commit adultery probably these barriers are the last thing on their minds - they'd go straight for the red-hot (= haraam) "sweet dish"!

The non-Muslim doesn't have these barriers so adultery would be "easier" and common? They are so programmed by dramas and movies in which adultery & sleeping around is commonplace that a punishment for adultery such as stoning would appear too harsh?

Is adultery a crime on any Christian nation on earth?
