LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- An Islamic high court has postponed the execution of a woman convicted of sex outside marriage.
The court said Amina Lawal, who faces death by stoning, could live at least until she has weaned the baby born of the liaison.
Lawal, 30, was convicted and sentenced by an Islamic Shariah court in March after giving birth more than nine months after divorcing.
Defense lawyer Aliu Yawuri asked a Shariah high court in Nigeria's northern Katsina state on Monday to overthrow the execution order.
Failing that, Yawuri argued, the court should postpone carrying out the death sentence until January 2004, when he said Lawal's baby girl would be old enough to be weaned.
The infant is believed to be five months old. It's not clear how long after Lawal's divorce the child was born.
The judge, Aliu Abdullahi, agreed that Lawal would not be executed until 2004, if at all. He postponed hearings on the overall case until July 8.
Yawuri said the case against his client was politically sensitive, saying he expected her to be released after Nigeria's municipal, parliamentary and presidential elections are held over the coming year.
During the March 19 trial, the man Lawal identified as her sexual partner, Yahaya Mohammed, denied having slept with her. He was acquitted for lack of evidence.

Death by stoning. Thats pleasant.
And they think god will be waiting for them with open arms...
I say we send a DNA test kit over and get the guy stoned too. all is fair after all.
You dont reason with people like this except at gunpoint and event then not for long. You just take them out.

1. I don't think CK has ever claimed that executing a woman is acceptable (implied by the title of this topic), regardless of it's ties to abortion. I don't see any need to take him so out of context, unless you're trying to get more flames...

I hope you're kidding (not always easy to tell). Reactions of this manner just might have something to do with entrenching anti-American sentiment amongst countries with deep islamic beliefs..., then again maybe it's just coincidence.

I chose to edit the title of this thread.
What's interesting is that I do not disagree with Mr Wolf.
I think that putting someone else's name in a negative light in a thread-title is going a little too far though.
Please, Mr Wolf, feel free to post some more!
I'll read it!

It was an attack on you.
It was dealt with.
Let it be.

I would just like to go on record as saying I do not take offence to anything posted about me. I agree that in a forum that is specifically moderated all demeaning or questional comments should be stricken to prevent discussions from turning personal ...but if it's about me I'd like to read what somebody wrote and I will not take offence. Thanks Ed for at least posting that you made the change and why ..it gets hard to follow a thread sometimes when there is information missing.
Sorry to go off topic ...that just hit me. And being stoned to death is cruel and unusual punishment regardless of the crime IMO ...even though it sounds like a movie put out by Cheech & Chong.
