All kinds of barbaric shit like this happens in muslim countries every day. The punishment for adultery in Saudi Arabia is also stoning. Same with Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates and many other countries.

Iran is the least backwards countries in the middle east. Woman can own property. Women can own businesses. Woman can be the boss of men. Tehran is full of shopping malls that look like malls you would see anywhere in the western world.
