If a man or woman commits adultery, they are whipped 100 times. If they are married and commiut adultery then, they are stoned to death. If a man steals when he does not need to, he has his hand chopped off. I agree, Islamic punishments are severe. However, this is the only way to stop theft, adultery etc. from happening. In the whole lifetime of the prophet Muhammed (pbuh), only 2 people ever had to be capitally punished, this is because, people were afraid. Nowadays, however, due to the punishments being so lenient; adultery, rape and theft happen every single day. So, although, the punishments are severe, they help society become a much safer place.

First of all, if someone gets punished by stoning it means that he was a realy bad guy. Stoning must be an instant death with the first stone being so heavy it must be heaved off a cliff to inflict the fatal blow. (A court that executed more than 1 person in 70 years was a "bloody court".) This punishment is actually for avoiding people from offenses.
