That's not part of Sharia law. In Islam the crime of sex outside of marriage requires a public penetrative act that is witnessed by 4 adults; basically equivalent to having sex in public in the west which is a jailable offense in many US states.

Alternatively, the accused could both do a confession in front of a judge 4 separate times but they can retract this confession at any time and avoid any punishment.

Let’s keep Islamic perversion out of civil law. The very fact that sex outside of marriage is considered a crime is perverse.

Looks like you didn't read what I posted. Its only a crime if you do it publicly in front of people and they report you just like in every country in the civilized world. Sex outside of marriage is considered a sin but not a crime unless it meets the specific criteria I posted.

Your Islamophobia is showing a bit too much.

I am unabashedly islamophobic. I consider that faith harmful to modern society. It refuses to evolve.

Nobody is forcing it on you or on anyone else. In fact the Quran says, "There is no compulsion in religion." But we should respect the choices of other people. Just like you should be free to practice or not practice whatever you want, Muslims should have that same freedom.

		I think the past millennia where Muslims went forcibly converting populations was just not “Islam”? Most people in the Muslim world look fondly on the glory days, don’t they?

It's also worth noting that in the most minimal reading of Sharia the punishment for adultery is whipping, not stoning, as stoning isn't mentioned in the Quran, only in a statement written down a couple hundred years later by someone claiming he heard someone claiming he heard that a sheep ate the page that mentioned stoning (https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:1944).
