What if they were Christians?

Re:Another vilification of Islam,
Letter, Feb. 17
Letter writer Aliya Khan is another example of hypersensitive Muslims, in all walks of life.
She takes umbrage at the Star's reference to sharia and the Islamic relationship of the alleged murderer and his victim. I beg to differ: The incident is not "totally unrelated to Islam" since these two were intimately involved with the Muslim cause and with disseminating a positive view of Islam through their media.
Let's look at the problem from another angle: Let's assume that some fervent Christian or Jewish fanaticfollowed the dictum of the Old Testament and stoned to death his unfaithful wife.
Would not the Star be justified in publishing the fact that this man was an ardent Christian or Jew who killed his wife against all that his religious belief would mitigate?
