It might help the world if everyone in Kobani was evacuated and move 10 miles away, then drop a 10 megaton bomb on the place as a statement to ISIS that the next beheadings, crucifictions or stonings will be punished by hellfire. It's time to put an end to the insanity.

Islamic State militants in Syria stoned to death a young woman who they had accused of committing adultery.

According to the Arabic language news site Al-Arabiya, the stoning took place in the eastern part of the Hama province. A gruesome video of the execution was published by the media sources of the Islamic State (see below).

The video shows the victim’s father standing next an Islamic State member while facing his daughter. Using a pleasant, gentle tone, the militant explains to the woman that she is being punished for the crime of adultery.
