Double standards

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki says Western support for Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, "convicted" of adultery, is politically motivated and betrays a double standard.

I won't bore you with his reasoning but will make the following suggestion instead.

The next time someone claims to be a religious moderate seeking to live peacefully as your neighbour ask him if he believes women who commit adultery should be stoned to death. If his answer is anything except "no" then you need to understand he is not going to live peacefully as your neighbour and act accordingly.
