Amnesty International (the human rights org that sometimes gets things right):
Contrary to earlier news reports, the girl stoned to death in Somalia this week was 13, not 23, Amnesty International can reveal.
Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was killed on Monday, 27 October, by a group of 50 men who stoned her to death in a stadium in the southern port of Kismayu, in front of around 1,000 spectators.
Some of the Somali journalists who had reported she was 23 have told Amnesty International that this age was based upon a judgement of her age from her physical appearance.She was accused of adultery in breach of Islamic law but, her father and other sources told Amnesty International that she had in fact been raped by three men, and had attempted to report this rape to the al-Shabab militia who control Kismayo, and it was this act that resulted in her being accused of adultery and detained. None of men she accused of rape were arrested.
“This was not justice, nor was it an execution. This child suffered a horrendous death at the behest of the armed opposition groups who currently control Kismayo,” said David Copeman, Amnesty International’s Somalia Campaigner.
“This killing is yet another human rights abuse committed by the combatants to the conflict in Somalia, and again demonstrates the importance of international action to investigate and document such abuses, through an International Commission of Inquiry.”

Robert Spencer has it right when he states, “there’s no moderate islam,” but he’s wrong with there being moderate muslims. The so called moderate muslim is just an islamist not following the quran/doran, hadith and what respected islamic scholars are teaching. It’s kinda like a backslidden Christian, it’s someone who professes christianity or islam and doesn’t follow what is taught. What is taught is to beat women, treat them as property, like cattle or a golf club and if it’s ruined by any means, raped, then throw it away, if it’s unruly, beat it into submission; islam means submission, it’s barbaric and always has been, based on the personal perverted desires of it’s prophet who just conveniently had a new vision when he needed someting shocking to be seen as acceptable, like, molesting underage females to provide females for numerous marriages and adding to his flock of doves. How about hate and abuse, tax and murder Christians and Jews, literally because they were the ones that laughed at him and rufused to see him as a true prophet of God. Whatever vision is needed to make your perverted, immoral actions appear right with God, that’s the vision he’d get and usually within 24 hours of him committing the acts that began to be question by his followers. Very convenient for him, wow.
