Iran May Execute Woman for Adultery:  Authorities in Iran say they are moving ahead with plans to execute a woman sentenced to be stoned to death for an adultery conviction.  This is in stark contrast to here in the West where most women who’ve committed adultery have done so because they were stoned.
