Gilberto: But to accuse the Islamic punishments of being brutal and inhumane is
something which is difficult if not impossible for a Bahai to do with
integrity.
JS: But Gilberto, none of the Laws of the Aqdas are enforced except a few related to prayer, marriage, burial, alcohol, opium, and a few others. Burtal Qur'an laws are, however, enforced by Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, Islamic Republic of Iran, Pakistan, etc.In fact, it is up to the Universal House of Justice to enforce them, and they may just decide not to enforce this rule at all.
