It is not accurate to define Islam by the actions of a few. Especially when Islam does not teach to do such actions.The religion of peace?
What happened definitely had no need; however, at the same time, it is understandable to a point. What I mean by that is that the country is falling into a period of chaos. These actions are horrible, but we should not let them distort any idea of the country, or their people. When a country does fall into this sort of turmoil, there are unlawful acts that follow. That should not define the country though.

I agree that the act was barbaric. However, that is something that happens in turmoil. I'm not trying to defend it, but I also don't think that it should influence how one sees Egypt (not saying that it did with you).i just don't understand the mentality that if an unmarried girl is not a virgin then her voice doesn't count...
it's barbaric....
notice they didn't find any virgins thereby undermining their collective voices by
implying that the voice of the people are corrupted and shouldn't be acknowledged...
looks like desperation
She also happens to be Muslim.A would-be teen beauty queen was stoned to death after her participation in a Ukranian pageant reportedly infuriated local Muslim youths.
Katya Koren, 19, was targeted by three fellow teens who said her seventh-place finish in the beauty contest was a violation of Muslim laws, according to British newspaper reports.
One of the suspects, identified as 16-year-old Bihal Gaziev, told authorities that he had no regrets about the stoning because the dark-haired Koren "violated the laws of Sharia."
The religion of peace?
What does this had to do with religion?
A lot, in a sense that I cannot imagine Jews to do that with women who protest against Israel, or even Chinese with women who protest against China.What does this had to do with religion?
What practices are performed in the name of religion in this article? Did you read the article? Did you follow the news coming from Egypt in the last few months? There was a revolution that changed the entire political scene in Egypt. The protesters were faced with tear gas, rubber and live bullets by the security forces. Many of them were arrested, detained and beaten (including my own brother). The ousted regime hired thugs who attacked the protesters with molotov cocktails, knives, etc. The military forced Mubarak to leave and protected the revolution. The military is administering the affairs of the country now until the next elections.An excellent question regarding many practices performed in the name of religion.
Meaning?It's so nice to see democracy taking hold in Egypt, isn't it? It's so wonderful that the people have found their voice. What could go wrong?
