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.

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.

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...

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

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