"Wrongly convicted" is the word, yes, you are right, just like the word "collateral damage", or the word "accidental killing".
Wasn't the supposed stoning case also a wrong conviction?
No, it was not. There is a profound difference between being wrongly convicted of a real crime, and a brutal murder. This was a brutal murder, much more serious crime than a wrong conviction.
1. How do you differentiate between a brutal murder and wrong conviction?
2. How do you differentiate between kidnapping, physical/mental torture and wrongful conviction?
I hope you answer the above two questions.

NUKE the lot of them
So killing millions of innocent people in a nuclear attack because this group of individuals - most likely all Taliban or at least Taliban supporters - stoned two people makes logical sense to you? That would correct the situation to satisfactory standards in your mind?

I don't know what it takes to haul a people/mindset like that into the 21st Century.

Would YOU or YOUR society (assuming you're non-moslem), condone such animalistic behaviour ? If not, then why excuse theirs ?

I'm not excusing their behavior. I'm simply questioning the logic (and sanity) of resorting to nuking an entire country because two people got stoned.

It would take reeducating them and cutting them off from their cult.

How about questioning instead the sanity of a society that perpetuates and condones such barbarity ... and the sanity of a religion that encourages it ?

Would your society, ethics and morality permit even one such act of atrocity to beall 2 of it's citizens ?

Quran and the Bible aren't much different when it comes to stoning. Just saying.

There won't be peace before all the religions are gone.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid defended the stoning.
He told the BBC: "Anyone who knows about Islam knows that stoning is in the Koran, and that it is Islamic law. There are people who call it inhuman - but in doing so they insult the Prophet. They want to bring foreign thinking to this country."

Basically, taking away from them their freedom of choice.
