(Newser) – A 19-year-old Muslim woman in Ukraine was stoned to death and buried in the woods for participating in a beauty pageant, reports the Daily Mail. The woman reportedly liked clothes and fashion, and had recently placed seventh in a pageant. Local police think that three young men beat and killed her because she "violated the laws of Sharia," in the alleged words of a 16-year-old boy who has been arrested.

A 19-year-old Muslim woman in Ukraine was recently discovered dead, buried in the woods. Police say she was stoned to death by three young men who thought she violated Sharia law.

Saudi practice MOST extreme of Islam=WAHABISM, Wahabist Imamas have been placed in 80% of Mosques built with Saudi petrol $$$'s. WHY? Saudis want to bring violent JIHAD WAR to America's streets. ISLAM =SHARIA LAW=ALLAH(GODS)LAW!!! ALLAH GOD favors Muslims only! Christians Jews are lower class,inferior, must be made to feel under rule & supremacy of Islam militias & Islam Sharia laws favor muslim men ONLY. Muslim men permitted to have sex wherever whenever whomever. Babies used during Ramadan for sex pleasuring. Young b oys are for pleasuring behind closed door everywher in Islamic world!!Wahbism is what legitimizes King of Saud ruling SaudiArabia. Islam is Arabic mens religio&military masculine only.Women are=Zero. In Wababism ALL women are just for housework & baby-making.Females all go to hellat death. Males go to heaven. Infidels(Non-Muslims go to hell.Koran says Christians & Jews are APES & PIGS,to be enslaved raped or murdered like any animal.I have seen with own eyes boys & girls american,euro,blondpreety kidnapped & kept for sex-slave in Saudi! This is permissable=Kafir=Infidel-Livestock. Mosques in U.S.traing for Urban War @paintball ctrs.,stockpiling guns,ammo,grenades,etc. Kafirs & Obama seen by extremists as STUPID. WakeUp NOW or be too late.

What’s the point of such laws if in the end it all breeds is a continued denigration of women and violence? Are we to assume that too is the central tenant of Sharia law? http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2011/05/muslim-girl-stoned-to-death-for-participating-in-beauty-pageant/

Ordinary muslims who turn a blind eye to this extremism in effect enable it. They - and ordinary catholics, too - need to speak out against their imams and bishops and other male dress-wearing perverts that allow, encourage or perpetrate these atrocities.
