I'm delighted that you reject the Hadith, but it's immaterial, innit, because YOU aren't the one stoning adulterers and blasphemers. There are at least ten Muslim majority countries where stoning is carried out, to a greater or lesser extent. The fact that some (possibly a majority) of these stonings are extrajudicial is beside the point. Stoning is deeply ingrained in Islamic culture.
