The practice has foundations in the Hadith.
“From Kashmir to Ram Navami: Quranic sanctions to ‘stoning’ the Devil and targeting of Kaafirs,” OpIndia, April 11, 2022:
…Much like stone-pelting was used as an instrument of defiance against security forces in Kashmir, it was and has been routinely used to target Hindu processions when they pass through neighbourhoods that are now being referred to by the liberal intelligentsia as ‘Muslim areas’, which is nothing but a contemporary manifestation of the divisive Two-nation theory. Processions, carrying deities, often come under a volley of stones, followed by arson attacks, vandalism and violence, under the garb that they played devotional songs and hymns that ‘provoked’ the other side.
This was witnessed during the recent Hindu New Year celebrations in the Karauli district of Rajasthan where a Hindu procession, which was carried out after more than 7 years, witnessed stone-pelting and a wanton bout of violence and vandalism. Earlier yesterday, Ram Navami celebrations came under attack in 5 different Indian States, namely, Gujarat, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. They were allegedly orchestrated by frenzied mobs, who were armed with stones and sticks, and determined to stop the Hindu processions from advancing through their ‘Muslim areas’….
During the Islamic pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca, Muslims participate in a ritual called the Rami al-Jamarat. They hurl stones at 3 pillars (jamarat), believing it to be the abode of Satan. It must be mentioned that the Jamarat is located in Mina city, which is located east of Mecca.
The Islamic ritual mandates that Muslims collect 70 stones and throw them at the three pillars on the day of Hajj. The ritual is repeated for the following 3 days before the completion of the circumambulation of Kaaba.
“Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet made Al-Fadl ride behind him, and Al-Fadl informed that he (the Prophet ) kept on reciting Talbiya till he did the Rami of the Jamra (stoning of the Satan),” says Sahih al-Bukhari 1685.
Furthermore, the Sahih al-Bukhari 1748 notes, “Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid: When Abdullah, reached the big Jamra (i.e. Jamrat-ul-Aqaba) he kept the Ka`ba on the left side and Mina on his right side and threw seven pebbles (at the Jamra) and said, “The one on whom Surat-al- Baqara was revealed (i.e. the Prophet) had done the Rami similarly.”…
The Islamic practice of stoning is not just limited to pillars, assumed to be the embodiment of Satan. Adult men and women in Islamic countries are often flogged and stoned to death for committing the supposed sin of ‘adultery.’…
Sahih Muslim Book 17, Hadith Number 4191 states –
“Ubada b. as-Samit reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Receive (teaching) from me, receive (teaching) from me. Allah has ordained a way for those (women). When an unmarried male commits adultery with an unmarried female (they should receive) one hundred lashes and banishment for one year. And in case of married male committing adultery with a married female, they shall receive one hundred lashes and be stoned to death.“
A clarification for the disparity in punishment between Quran and Hadiths for adultery is explained in the Sahih Muslim Book 17, Hadith Number 4194. It states–
“…I am afraid that with the lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah’s Book for married men and women who commit adultery when the proof is established, or it there is pregnancy or a confession.”…

Are sunbathing girls now being stoned in France ? Two young girls, who were sunbathing on the beach, were insulted and had stones thrown at them by three minors, one of the girls was choked

Yes–the only things as Islamic as stoning are choking to death and throat-cutting. God, I hate Islam.
mortimer says
Robert Spencer is right. Muslims learn violence from Islam. Indeed, Islam contains a number of violent RELIGIOUS RITUALS which train and inspire Muslims to use violence. Firstly, there is the ‘stoning of the pillar’ mentioned here by Spencer. Next, there is CUTTING THE THROATS of sacrificial animals. It doesn’t take strong imagination to transfer that to a HUMAN VICTIM. Then there is female genital mutilation, throwing gays off a roof, stoning them, pushing a wall over on them and even burning them. Then the issue of beating women into submission ‘decreed’ by Allah.
Killing in Islam is sacramental. One of the swords of Mohammed was given the name of ‘Spine Splitter’, since it was good for beheading non-Muslims.
Islam is indeed filled with references and commands to commit violence. Islam cannot be said to be ‘benign’. Islam is inherently violent and hostile to non-Muslims and women.

Grimly spot on, Mortimer.

Muslims have been throwing stones or metaphorical stones of different varieties at the kuffaar for well over a millennium now.
Sick of this Islamic stone throwing, literal or otherwise. “Bout” time the rest of mankind is.
On a more specific matter, and related to what I wrote on sundry other posts, I can no longer countenance anything Islamic in the West. Nothing at all.
And this is why, among so many other reasons, I do not want Dr. Oz, himself a Muslim, to win the Republican primary in Pennsylvania come next month. I lean towards Carla Sands (there are many other worthy candidates like Jeff Bartos) but Oz is a non-starter and I am so disappointed that Trump, just the other day, endorsed him. As many staunch conservatives since this mistake by Trump have observed, this was a significant error on his part. Surely. Frankly, and once again, Trump has so many kinds of laudable intelligence, but he still doesn’t know Islam well enough. No he doesn’t.
Islam aside, Oz is for massive gun control, transgender rights of all kinds, and instructing very young children about sex when such young children at some six years of age DO NOT need to learn about sexual private parts AND how these parts, that one possesses, don’t necessarily mean you are either a boy or a girl. Glad I was raised in the 1950’s before all this destruction of children began.
Please, ALL PA voters in the primary (this includes myself) DO NOT vote for Dr. Oz. To do so will only continue the nonsense and confusion about sex, never mind the protection of the Second Amendment and many other non-RINO matters.

Wellington of subject,
I’ve just heard on the BBC news that all migrants to the UK will have to be processed in Rwanda, I’m buzzing, And I’m not just buzzing I’m also having a celebration drink, but it’s not just a drink I’m having I am having a party. if I had the ability to send a beer over to you lot over there, I would send a barrel, and remember F..k islam.

John, I had not heard of the UK processing migrants in Rwanda before, but you are right. Amazing, and quite surprising. I don’t drink much, but I’ll raise a glass to that myself.

I wonder what made them pick Rwanda, of all countries?

I was wondering myself whether Dr Oz is muslim. I heard Erin Elmore yesterday describe him as a man of faith, w/o mentioning that the ‘faith’ in question is islam. I’m not a voter in that other commonwealth, but if I were, I’d vote for Kathy Barnette, who’s been extensively interviewed on The Wilkow Majority on SiriusXM Patriot channel, and who looks like the solid conservative here
On President Trump, while he was a great president, he was a very poor judge of people. His political backing included doozies like Mitt Romney, Lindsay Graham, Luther Strange, Brian Kemp, Nancy Mace, and now Dr Oz. In his cabinet, he included people like Jim Mattis, HR McMaster, Kirsten Nielsen, John Kelly, Rob Rosenthal, Mike Esper, Mick Mulvaney, Elaine Chao… In the meantime, he’s turned on Mo Brooks, who did back him in the vote in January 6th. And outsourcing his selection of judges to the Federalist Society hasn’t worked out too well, given how all his 3 SCOTUS appointees voted against the challenge that several state AG’s made against the election
The most bizarre thing about this is Dr Oz being a dual citizen of both the US and Turkey. It might have been one thing if we were still talking about a Kemalist Turkey, since their shortcomings were relatively unknown. But to talk about someone willingly retain his citizenship of the neo-Ottoman republic being run by Sultan Erdogan is just inexplicable. I do hope Dr Oz goes down, even if it’s to McCormick (although my favorite in this race is Kathy Barnette)
Walter Sieruk says
As for the question posed in the above titled, which is “Why do some Muslims throw stones at non- Muslims ?”
The answer to that is should be rather obvious to ever regular reader of this site.
Nevertheless, the answer to that question is will now be given as simply as possible.
Those cruel vicious stone throwing Muslims have a sincere conviction that they are obeying the order of their god ,Allah, by the brutal actions of practicing “harshness” to people who aren’t Muslims who they view as “disbelievers.”
After all, the Qu ‘ran does instruct In 9:123. “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…”
In addition, this also show the complete folly of the fool statement that ,sadly some Westerners actually think is”pretty good.”
That idiot statement of total error is “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as your sincere.”
That nonsensical saying is nothing but absolute balderdash.

Yes, Walter–I’ve *never* understood this. Generally being sincere is a good thing, but it is not the sine qua non of morals. There are sincere Fascists and Jihad terrorists.
Honesty is important to me as a rule, but I’ll take a generally decent-acting hypocrite to a true believer *in evil* any day of the week.
Infidel says
Actually, most years, Ram navami passes off w/o incident. This year, in 5 states in India, the reason there were incidents of stoning of Hindu processions was that Navratri (the fortnight preceding Ram navami) happened to coincide w/ Ramadan
It’s fine to speculate about why muslims throw stones, but the reasons don’t matter, except for two:
‣ The Indian government, and law enforcement in all but 2, or now 3 states, are desperate to appear tolerant to the islamophobiaphobic West, and therefore bend backwards to avoid doing much
‣ Hindu street power, which used to be more than a counterbalance to muslim street power before the BJP attained full political power, is now gone in an attempt to make the BJP government look good. End result is that there is no deterrence nor counteractions against such jihadist acts to discourage muslims from being their thuggish selves
gravenimage says
Infidel, I think that it *does* matter, because this is not just random violence that may not be repeated–bad enough–but is rooted in Islamic values.
Infidel says

My point was that muslims need to be punished for this, no matter what the islamic justification is for the acts in question. In fact, the latter should be irrelevant and specifically legislated into the law. And Hindus need to reactivate their mob capabilities. It’s not like it doesn’t exist in India: aside from muslims, Leftists have it as well. Like I said yesterday in another thread, right-leaning Hindus can’t be the only ones playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules
gravenimage says
I certainly agree that Muslims need to be prosecuted for this savagery, Infidel. Knowing the roots of a behavior *certainly* doesn’t preclude this.
I have to respectfully disagree that Hindus should adopt the savagery of Islamic mob violence. The best thing to do is to loudly demand accountability from the authorities.
peter says
Muslims always test the water to see the other side reacts. As long as you take it lying down ,muslims will consider that as an act of cowardice and increase their violence. Modi showed them their right place when he was the chief minister of Gujarat .There was no muslim violence afterwards . The only way to kill a snake is to hit it on it’s head.
Infidel says
Somehow, the chief minister personality of Modi is dead, as he’s now eager to win a Nobel Prize for Peace, which is never gonna happen b’cos he’s not a Leftist. But in the process, he’s been sacrificing enough Hindu blood. There needs to be another Hindu party in India to challenge him from the Right, so that the BJP can’t simply take Hindutva votes for granted and keep expanding leftwards. That’s the same issue conservatives here in the US often have w/ the GOP
And speaking of Gujarat, all the CMs who’ve succeeded Modi out there have become much softer on muslims. During his time, muslims used to be fearful: today, they brazenly squat in holy cities like Dwarka. Again, like I said above, new Hindutva party needed, and NOW!

Why do some Muslims throw stones at non-Muslims?
…………….
I find the fact that Muslims were *enraged* that Jews no longer stoned adulterers to death so telling.
And the most concerning thing about Muslims throwing stones at non-Muslims is not just possible injury, but that the context of Islamic stoning is always *stoning to death*.
