P.S.,
Reading the "Observer" account linked to above, I understand the charge is adultery (rather than fornication), not because the father was married [the court did not acknowledge his paternity], but because, as a divorcee, she was not a virgin before she became impregnated with this child.

Fornication would not have carried the death penalty--"only" public lashing.

Yeah, if "Under Islamic law, if a man does not make a confession in court the only way he can be convicted of adultery is for four men - not women - to have witnessed the adulterous act."  it's not too likely a guy would ever be convicted of adultery, fornication, or even rape, is it?
