Recently a teenage girl was stoned to death in Iraq for being in love with a boy of a different religion to hers. This practice sounds completely at odds with
God's love and mercy which teaches us, Christians, to forgive sinners and tolerate those who follow other religions.

Yes I'm not surprised...
But then again this coming from a place who's religion tells them that if they kill themselves doing Alah's will that they'll go to heaven and be given a bunch of virgins....lol

I agree with you that same religions are saying that sacrifice yourself that you will get heaven it dosen't means that you have to kill others.It says sacrifice all your likes and dislikes and select the GOD's path and HIS path never tells to kill others.
Mohammad Profet was not ready for war but HE has to do to protect HIS people and HIS belife.If some one is attacking on your belife and your existence you have to fight for it .

People who do that are extremists and totally misunderstood God's word and God's will.
I keep saying this and i keep doing it.We don't need a religion because God wants us to be one in Him.
I follow the Christian sites,but to be honest i rather say i'm a child of God then saying i'm a Christian.
Being in love with someone of some other religion is no sin.Bible doesn't talk about this.

I know abut it.I really felt bad and discussting that most of the people are not really understanding the inner meaning of there religion as per me no religion says that kill a person if do wrong but instead it says that rectitfy the mistake and let them to go in correct path.
And serve humans who are in need and you will get HEAVEN and is the way to go there.
