Ukraine have launched a murder investigation after a 19-year-old girl was reportedly stoned to death for taking part in a beauty contest.

Katya Koren, 19, was found dead in a village in the Crimea region near her home, according to a report in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

Friends said she liked wearing fashionable clothes and had come seventh in a beauty contest, the Mail reported.

Her body was buried in a forest and was found a week after she disappeared.

Police are investigating claims that three Muslim youths killed her claiming her death was justified under Islam.

One of the three - named as 16-year-old Bihal Gaziev - said he had no regrets about her death because she had violated the laws of Islam.


BARBARIC   >:( >:(

I have serious doubts about the authenticity of this story. It can only be traced back to a Daily Mail article that offers no source for the information. The Daily Mail is hardly a respectable news source.

This is possibly just another attempt to paint Muslims in a negative light, but don't let the fact that there are no facts get in the way of your little witch hunt.

Well if you dont believe it RING THE PAPER   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

When your audience has such poor intellect, accuracy in reporting is not really a must..

Sensationalise it and concoct the kind of headlines that sell papers, since the feeble minded rarely appreciate the truth anyway.

Was Muslim girl 'stoned to death for taking part in beauty pageant' actually murdered by a stalker?

At first it appeared that she had been stoned to death for disobeying Sharia law.

But glamorous Muslim beauty queen Katya Koren may actually have been battered with a rock by a crazed stalker after she spurned his advances.

The body of the 19-year-old was found dumped in a remote forest on the Crimean peninsula days after she went missing.

She had died in agony after suffering horrific blows to the head from stones or rocks.

Initial reports suggested that Ms Koren had been battered by three local men after flouting the strict Islamic law. Sharia law prohibits women from taking part in beauty contests.

But police have now said that Ms Koren may have been attacked by a deranged classmate who had been besotted with the teenager.

The man is believed to have given Ms Koren a ride on his moped before robbing her and possibly raping her. He may then have battered her to death with a rock.

'A student did it, killing his classmate. There is no other underlying reason, neither religious nor linked with inter-ethnic conflicts,' Sergei Reznikov, a senior policeman involved in the case, told the Telegraph.

Experts said that around 250,000 Muslims live in the area between Crimea and the Ukraine but that there had never been any major examples of religious violence in the past.

There have also been virtually no cases of stoning being administered as a punishment in the desolate region.

Police said the main suspect in the case is 16-year-old Bihal Gaziev. They said he has a history of mental illness...

What a silly thing to say.  

The Daily Mail is a very respectable news source.  And it seems that people enjoy reading it.  Not only is it the second most-read newspaper in Britain after The Sun but its website - dailymail.co.uk - is the second most-read newspaper website in the whole world, second only to that of The New York Times.  However, it is due to overtake The New York Times's website at some point later this year to become the most popular newspaper website on the planet.

So there are many people who will disagree with your comments about The Daily Mail not being a respectable news sourse.

Is that true of the holy qur'an as well?


Quote:

2:109    Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers.... Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. 9:29    Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah.

Would obvious contradictions such as the above rely on an audience with poor intellect? Where is the accuracy?
