The Koran thence Islamic Law, does not provide the death penalty for adultery or homosexuality ..

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful

The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication
Flog them each a hundred stripes
Nor let compassion move you in their case
If ye believe in Allah and the last day
Surah 24 An Nur - The Light - Verse 2

Remember when Lot said unto his folk
"Will ye commit abomination such as no nation ever did before
Ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women
Ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds."
Surah 7 Al Aaraf - The Heights - Verse 80

In the case of adultery where similar text appears to endorse death, Jesus tells us to err on the side of mercy, while in response to homosexuality, the text expresses outrage and repugnance, it does not provide the death penalty!
