Mauritania:
The Penal Code contains Sharia crimes such heresy, apostasy, atheism, refusal to pray, adultery and alcoholism. Punishments include lapidation, amputation and flagellation.[38]

Sudan:
Sharia has been declared the chief source of all legislation in Sudan's 1968, 1973 and 1998 Constitutions.[55] In 2005, Sudan adopted an interim national constitution; it removed some references to Sharia, but included Sharia-derived criminal, civil and personal legal codes, as well as Sharia-mandated hudud punishments.[56] The Criminal Act of 1991 prescribes punishments which include forty lashes for drinking alcohol, amputation of the right hand for theft of a certain value and stoning for adultery.[57][58]

Afghanistan:
Criminal law in Afghanistan continues to be governed in large part by Islamic law. The Criminal Law of September 1976 codifies sharia, and retains punishments such as the stoning to death of adulterers. However virtually all courts, including the Supreme Court of Afghanistan, rely on Islamic law directly.[64]

Brunei:
Sharia courts decide personal status cases or cases relating to religious offences.[74] Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah declared in 2011 his wish to establish Islamic criminal law as soon as possible.[75] A new penal code enacted in May 2014 will eventually prescribe sharia punishments, including the severing of limbs for property crimes and death by stoning for adultery and homosexuality.[76]

Iran:
Article 167 of the constitution states that all judicial rulings must be based upon "authoritative Islamic sources and authentic fatwa".[79] Book 2 of the Islamic Penal Code of Iran is entirely devoted to hudud punishments, including flogging and stoning for adultery, and execution for men who have sex with men.[80]

Maldives:
Article 15 of the Act Number 1/81 (Penal Code) allows for hudud punishments.[108] Article 156 of the constitution states that law includes the norms and provisions of sharia.[109]

Pakistan:
Until 1978 Islamic law was largely restricted to personal status issues. Zia ul Haq introduced Sharia courts and made far reaching changes in the criminal justice system.[115] Articles 203a to 203j of the constitution establish a sharia court with the power to judge any law or government actions to be against Islam, and to review court cases for adherence to Islamic law. The penal code includes elements of sharia.[116] Under article 5, section 2 of the Ordinance No. VII of 1979, whoever is guilty of zina, "if he or she is a muhsan, be stoned to death at a public place; or if he or she is not a mushan, be punished, at a public place, with whipping numbering one hundred stripes".[117] Under a 2006 law, rape cases can be heard under civil as well as Islamic law.[118]

Qatar:
Sharia law is the main source of Qatari legislation according to Qatar's Constitution.[119][120] Sharia law is applied to laws pertaining to family law, inheritance, and several criminal acts (including adultery, robbery and murder). In some cases in Sharia-based family courts, a female's testimony is worth half a man's and in some cases a female witness is not accepted at all.[121] Flogging is used in Qatar as a punishment for alcohol consumption or illicit sexual relations.[122] Article 88 of Qatar's criminal code declares the punishment for adultery is 100 lashes.[123] Adultery is punishable by death when a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man are involved.[123] In 2006, a Filipino woman was sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery.[123] In 2012, six expatriates were sentenced to floggings of either 40 or 100 lashes.[122] More recently in April 2013, a Muslim expatriate was sentenced to 40 lashes for alcohol consumption.[124][125][126] In June 2014, a Muslim expatriate was sentenced to 40 lashes for consuming alcohol and driving under the influence.[127] Judicial corporal punishment is common in Qatar due to the Hanbali interpretation of Sharia Law. Article 1 of the Law No. 11 Of 2004 (Penal Code) allows for the application of "Sharia provisions" for the crimes of theft, adultery, defamation, drinking alcohol and apostasy if either the suspect or the victim is a Muslim.[128]

Yemen:
Law 20/1992 regulates personal status. The constitution mentions sharia.[138] Penal law provides for application of hadd penalties for certain crimes, although the extent of implementation is unclear.[139] Article 263 of the 1994 penal code states that "the adulterer and adulteress without suspicion or coercion are punished with whipping by one hundred strokes as a penalty if not married. [...] If the adulterer or the adulteress are married, they are punished by stoning them to death."[140]

Aceh:
Aceh is the only part of Indonesia to apply Sharia in full. Islamic courts in Aceh had long handled cases of marriage, divorce and inheritance. After special autonomy legislation was passed in 2001, the reach of courts extend to criminal justice.[142] Under a 2009 law, married people convicted of adultery can be sentenced to death by stoning, while unmarried people can be sentenced to 100 lashes. Offences such as being alone with an unrelated member of the opposite gender, gambling and breaking Islamic dress rules can be punished with a public caning.[143] In 2014, the provincial government of Aceh extended sharia's reach, enacting and enforcing sharia to apply it to non-Muslims as well.[144][145]

United Arab Emirates:
(Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah are not part of the federal judicial system.[156])
Rest of the UAE:
The court system comprises Sharia courts and civil courts. Judicial corporal punishment is a legal form of punishment in UAE due to the Sharia courts. Flogging is used in UAE as a punishment for criminal offences such as adultery, premarital sex and prostitution.[123] In most emirates, floggings of Muslims are frequent, especially for adultery, prostitution and drunkenness, with sentences ranging from 80 to 200 lashes.[157][158] Between 2007 and 2013, many people were sentenced to 100 lashes.[159][160][161][162][163][164][123][165] Moreover in 2010 and 2012, several Muslims were sentenced to 80 lashes for alcohol consumption.[166][167] Under UAE law, premarital sex is punishable by 100 lashes.[168] Stoning is a legal form of judicial punishment in UAE. In 2006, an expatriate was sentenced to death by stoning for committing adultery.[169] Between 2009 and 2013, several people were sentenced to death by stoning.[162][170][171] In May 2014, an Asian housemaid was sentenced to death by stoning in Abu Dhabi.[172][173][174] Sharia law dictates the personal status law, which regulate matters such as marriage, divorce and child custody. The Sharia-based personal status law is applied to Muslims and sometimes non-Muslims.[175] Non-Muslim expatriates are liable to Sharia rulings on marriage, divorce and child custody.[175] Sharia courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear family disputes, including matters involving divorce, inheritances, child custody, child abuse and guardianship of minors. Sharia courts may also hear appeals of certain criminal cases including rape, robbery, and related crimes.[156] Apostasy is a crime punishable by death in the UAE. UAE incorporates hudud crimes of Sharia into its Penal Code ? apostasy being one of them.[176] Article 1 and Article 66 of UAE's Penal Code requires hudud crimes to be punished with the death penalty,[176][177] therefore apostasy is punishable by death in the UAE. Emirati women must receive permission from male guardian to remarry.[178] The requirement is derived from Sharia, and has been federal law since 2005.[178] In all emirates, it is illegal for Muslim women to marry non-Muslims.[179] In the UAE, a marriage union between a Muslim woman and non-Muslim man is punishable by law, since it is considered a form of "fornication".[179]

So there you have 11 countries/regions, with a combined population of ~423 million. 10 of them explicitly provide for death penalty for hudud/hadd crimes. 8 of these provide for stoning to death for certain hudud/hadd crimes.

But I'm sure you've traveled to all these countries and witnessed the intelligence, tolerance and peacefulness of their people. Surely I'm the uneducated and ignorant one, since I'm apparently dumb enough to reference to facts. Yep, the joke's on me.
