WHY are We still here...........
Why don't we offer 'women' safe passage to another country, if they want it.
Then let them return to the 'stone age,' seems that's their preference..

Stoning for adulterers may become legal again in Afghanistan
By Jessica Donati, Reuters

KABUL – Death by stoning for convicted adulterers is being written into Afghan law, a senior official said on Monday, the latest sign that human rights won at great cost since the Taliban were ousted in 2001 are rolling back as foreign troops withdraw.

"We are working on the draft of a sharia penal code where the punishment for adultery, if there are four eyewitnesses, is stoning," said Rohullah Qarizada, who is part of the sharia Islamic law committee working on the draft and head of the Afghan Independent Bar Association.

Billions have been invested on promoting human rights in Afghanistan over more than 12 years of war and donors fear that hard won progress, particularly for women, may be eroding.
