Taliban back in power[edit]

Now that the Taliban is back in power in Afghanistan, do we need to update the section on Afghanistan? I don't know enough about it to answer my question. 71.220.162.188 (talk) 16:43, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Practical info? Physiology? Logistics?[edit]

This article is really quite long, yet there's almost no practical information about what on earth stoning actually is. Anyone coming here will leave with no better conception of what this practice looked like. How big were the rocks? How many people participated on average? How many rocks were thrown? How long did it take to die? How long did it take to lose consciousness? Are there any theories for how the practice evolved? Why it was so popular in the ANE when so many other methods of execution were available? Surely there are sources concerning these questions and many many more. Instead of arguing about demographics, culture, race, and politics... can we put some effort into actually explaining what stoning is, how it happened, and why?

United Arab Emirates[edit]

There is no proof that homosexuality carries death by stoning in the UAE. Before 2020, stoning was the default method of execution for adultery, and several people were sentenced to death by stoning (for adultery). According to UAE law, the actual punishment for homosexuality is up to 14 years prison (up to 10 years prison in Dubai). The UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, never mentioned the death penalty for homosexuality. 91.72.194.58 (talk) 14:42, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Map also needs updating. Stoning is no longer legal in the UAE. 91.72.194.58 (talk) 14:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

UAE does not mention death sentence by stoning for being gay. Please change it to say “Before 2020, stoning was described as the default method of execution for adultery, and several people were sentenced to death by stoning.” Remove all the citations involving lgbtq+ because they are misleading and potentially false.

How do we fix this Mess?[edit]

The Introduction and History sections of this page are quite disorganized.

I believe some ideological battle around stoning in Islam has left the page scarred and disfigured. I am not sure that having a separate article about stoning in Islam makes sense.

The page's introduction is a random string of characters without any proper citations.

The History section essentially focuses on sources directly from the Old Testament or from sources around the time of the New Testament and then skips right ahead to cover modern Islam. There is also some text covering modern Islam in the Introduction, which bleeds into the section about "Contemporary legal status and use." I feel like the History section is missing some actual history about the topic.

The text cited from "The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society," and I believe the pewresearch.org source is actually primarily quoting the first source.

There is actually so much more wrong with this article that I cannot really explain it all here. I might just start refactoring it. DislekzticBoi (talk) 03:21, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In answer, a lot of frustration, typing, reading and time usually works. Welcome to Wikipedia. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 03:34, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I am going to just start working on it one thing at the time. And the Lead Section can probably only be fixed once the rest is somewhat in order. DislekzticBoi (talk) 04:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please fix this[edit]

Please update UAE to match the page “Capital punishment in the United Arab Emirates,” since the sources relating to homosexuality are unrelated and do not mention stoning. 2.50.141.236 (talk) 07:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
