In what Muslim countries have you lived? The United Arab Emirates. I was married in a sharia court - that was the only option! Are there editorials run in the newspapers in such countries protesting such practices? Nope. The UAE is a "benevolent dictatorship" without a "free press". There were no serious editorials criticizing Islamic practices anywhere as I recall. If you wish to defend Islam I've no wish to do so. I'll leave that up to the Muslims.

FYI Report: Iran may commute woman's stoning sentence Court official says death sentence of Iranian woman may be commuted, and reveals "ambiguities in the evidence". gulfnews.com Tehran: A judicial official has been quoted as saying that it is possible that Iran may commute the death sentence against a woman convicted of adultery. The stoning sentence against Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani has drawn international condemnation and has been suspended for now. On Sunday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported that judicial official Malek Ajdar Sharifi revealed there were "ambiguities in the evidence". "Anything is possible," Sharifi told the news agency when asked about a possible change in Ashtiani's sentence. Sharifi is the head of justice department of East Azerbaijan, the province where Ashtiani is imprisoned. He said Ashtiani's case took a long time to decide because "there are some ambiguities in the evidence."
