I saw this in the newswire:

It really sickens me to think that such things still happen here in the 21st century.

What will it take for Islam to abandon its stone-age moral system?

Yeah, the whole thing make me want to puke. I wouldn't say that this is an Islam problem though. The bible is full of stonings and other stupidity also. It is when you mix religion with politics that you get such idiocy. Imagine what kind of "justice" we would have here (in USA) if the fundies got control of the government?
