Yes, it's mind numbing. Huge crowd and given the chance, thousands more would quite happily have witnessed that. The power of crazy religion is the reason. You can exist in primitive surroundings without resorting to this senseless type of behaviour.

birdie;//Religion is what is wrong with these people.// I doubt you will concur, but I think it is more the 'misinterpretation' of religion which is wrong. These people are not Muslims, in fact they are hated by Muslims (and others) they are Zoroastrians, one of the world's oldest religions.
I've been looking them up in my Penguin Dictionary of Religions. Their holy book is the Avesta, but most of their liturgy is passed on by verbal transmission so it's impossible to know from outside what all their teachings are, BUT, I feel sure that the founder; Zoroaster, circa 10,000BC(Zarathustra) never said followers should carry out such barbaric acts against defenceless young women.

It appears this incident occurred in 2007. More here:

In looking for reasons for why people do stupid things its important to remember that reason is a process with certain requirements, one being an understanding of what that process entails. Reason is the attribute that defines us as and enables us to become human. Reason should never be presupposed in looking for the reasons why people fail to be human.
Khandro:-> "Looks like that is correct agchristie;..."
Yes agchristie, "It appears this incident occurred in 2007."
'Looks like' and 'appears', is sufficient for many. ( no slur intended on either Khandro or agchristie who have both utilised their reasoning facilities on aspects of this subject and not solely visceral reactions )
The picture at the top of the JEWSNEWS page is of a different incident than the highly blurred, 'horrific' video on that same page...
girl in red or white top.

Indoctrination can be secular or religious and flourishes under a lack of investigation: no-one has absolute immunity.

^ Not sure what you are saying. Is it that this was a complete fabrication? I don't know, but similar events are taking place all the time in the middle east. Here is a link to an eye-witness account from The Spectator (7 June 2014)

Yes, that's correct. The headline and narrative clearly refers to the true, shocking killing of the 17yo. The reasons behind it are not totally clear.
The image of the female at the top of the piece dressed in white and facing death had me confused.
This actually is from the 2008 film, Soraya M, named after an Iranian mother who was falsely accused of infidelity and stoned to death in 1986.
The links which you provided in relation to another stoning following Facebook use is very dubious.
There are many barbaric stonings still being carried out with Khandro's link being testimony to yet another example.
Thanks to you both and wildwood for bringing this to my attention.
