By, comparison, the Muslim people are civilized compared to Americans...and I am American.
Look closer to home before you demonize an entire culture.
That is my point.
Hence the virulent anti-Islamic propaganda.

People do not realize that Islam indeed is a religion of violent savages that do support stonings of adulterers, killing of apostates and so on.
Does your Christian predominated country accept all of the, shall we say, ''robust'' teachings of the Old Testament ?
You are selling yourself low with this anti-Islam rhetoric. ''Islam indeed is a religion of violent savages''. Behave yourself.

I don't know how to check the sources of this "news item" well - but most of the Ukraine is actually Catholoc, not Islamic. The few non-catholics are Orthodox or Jewish. The Islamic territory of the Crimean Peninsula was conquered only 100 years ago. Most of the original inhanbitants were exiled or killed in Stalin's Gulag camps.
I simply don't know where to put this story - if it is true at all.
Quite possibly someone is using the general ignorance of American young people about simple facts of history to achieve their own dubious ends.
One of which is that we can never explain how on earth it is legitimate to go and grab the oil that comes from Islamic countries. If they are free to sell it at whatever price they like, we are f++++cked.
Hence the virulent anti-Islamic propaganda.
There is no sharia law in the Ukraine. Mind you, it is a country mostly Catholic and partly Orthodox (Russians).
If you buy this piece of junk news, you will buy anything such as Eskimos have the decisive share in Arab oil money. The PTB try to sell Islam as anti-woman and anti-democracy because we are too dependent upon oil that is mined there.
It is that simple.
Ukrainian officials have slammed media claims that a teenage beauty queen was stoned to death by three Muslim suspects who alleged the 19-year-old violated Sharia law by participating in pageants...

I can't imagine stoning anyone for any reason!!!
Have any of you seen the movie The Stoning of Soraya M. ? I rented this movie because to be honest I didn't know how stoning was done. I had no concept. This is based on a true story... This movie hurt my soul. I didn't cry, I sobbed and for days. I can't think about it even now without getting torn up. That has to be the most horrific way to die! Brutal!

and in the U.S. we just pump 50 rounds into somebody because someone suspects that the "house" is a drug house.
Innocent father dead, leaves behind a six year old son and a pregnant wife.
Repeat that scenario a few hundred times for the cases that don't get reported because the victim is a nobody.
What is your point?
That was off-topic and has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
I think this is awful and is simply another shining example on why Sharia law should be stopped by any means possible from spreading its diseased tentacles into the West.

Oh dear. It's always sad to hear about these things.
I don't wish to bash any religion or stand up for any religion, but to be honest, at the end of the day murder is murder, and it's just wrong. I don't really think there's an excuse for it at all, and religion just doesn't cut it for me really.
19 as well...
