The woman was raped. But because in many Fundamentalist interpretations of Islam, unless another man says he witnessed it and that HE thinks she was raped, it's adultery.

This is where victim-blaming goes. I suppose women in the US should be grateful the stones here are (mostly) only metaphorical.

Yeah, it's desert nomad bullshit, not Abrahamic monodeity bullshit. You can bet the polytheist desert nomads on the next dune over, as well as the competing monotheist nomads and those guys with the golden calf that Moses was so pissed at, they all had the same laws.
