                   STONING TO DEATH IS AN UN-ISLAMIC, PAGAN
                   TRADITION THAT HAS NO PLACE IN THE QUR'AN.






                                                      is an immaculate Muslim who
                                                      took our Prophet (pbuh) as his

                                                      culties for His sake and who
                                                      even risked death because of
                                                      his faith in God and protection
                                                      of our Prophet (pbuh) and the
                                                      Qur'an. To say that this supe-

                                                      declare a verse that had been
                                                      removed from the Qur'an

                                                      because he was merely afraid
