Stoning

Todays paper had an article about the stoning death of a young couple who were in love and eloped. Apparently eloping is against Sharia Law and punishable by stoning to death. In this case it was reported the couples family even participated in the stoning. I find it hard to believe that any religion in todays world that can have anything like that in their bible can in any way be called a sensible, reasonable, moderate, or a decent religion. There are too many things that seem to keep popping up in the news that show the Islamic religion is in fact dangerous. How about a Muslim cleric issuing a Fatwa,{ or death sentence}. Sounds like a crazy religion to me.
