Are you an Islamophobe?

In that kind of culture some primitive actions are needed to keep the stability of the middle eastern region. Saddam Hussein& Muammar gaddafi, in the case of these men, yes they were butchers and evil, but they did know how to control a radical population. You can't walk into a region and expect to make them peaceful and united through a military front. Peace by force is not peace it's a perversion of the peace process.
Now, as far this woman being stoned to death and yes Catholics they do actions similar to them. Shaming and dis-owning there children who were impregnated without being married. Think about it; being a teen, and being pregnet this is a nightmare case already; add the shaming of your parents and community then being dis-owned and thrown out. That's almost like being stoned death in the west.

If you had the choice between being stoned to death or disowned, which would you choose?

I don't know what his response would be to be fair. As far as killing their own children, this is comparable to infanticide in the animal world, it is that primitive. However, the animal has its reasons for doing this. However, human beings on the otherhand are capable of thought processes and as such, should be able to tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong, what is moral, and what is immoral. Islam, with its honour killings is clearly immoral. Finally, to have the choice between stoned to death or being disowned, I would rather be disowned, since we may have the chance later on to reconcile our differences.
