Presumably, that was a muslim who didn't live in a place where stonings actually occur.
In my YouTube travels, I came across a video of a stoning being carried out. I'd find it and post a link, but I just had lunch, and I'd just as soon keep it down.
In the video, the crowd pelts the woman with many rocks. I don't know if that's what killed her, or if it was the guy who shot her afterwards.
Sickening, barbaric practice.
Oh yeah Stoning is definitely real.
It was ordered by Muhammad, it was done by Jews, Muslims...
Beheading is real too, hangings, whippings...
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” - Marcus Aurelius
