Those should be executed if there's any way to separate them from the doubtful ones.

quote:
According to the Gospel of John, the Pharisees, in an attempt to discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him. Then they reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under Mosaic law and challenged him to judge the woman so that they might then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and then replied, He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her. The people crowded around him were so touched by their own consciences that they departed. When Jesus found himself alone with the woman, he asked her who were her accusers. She replied, No man, lord. Jesus then said, Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.

Jesus was teaching us a lesson about hypocrisy in the incident of the woman caught in adultery. He challenged the Jews who were ready to stone her that only the one without sin should cast the first stone. This has nothing to do with governments.

It makes me laugh when you think you can overrule Jesus.
