Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain told BBC News 24 that the whole saga had been very damaging for the image of the Muslim faith.
"Each time we have stories like these, that distort what Islam stands for or misrepresents what the compassion of Muslim law stands for, then we have repercussions and people begin to feel that Islam has no place in modern society...
"I have not come across one single Muslim in our country who has supported what has happened.''

I've already said my piece about this - and why we should not be saying 'stupid woman, she went there, she should have known', and why this is about much more than that.
I will add a question someone else made elsewhere - that they are using a Muslim law to punish a Christian woman. Does this mean than anyone not of the Muslim faith is bound by their laws? Does that extend to all the laws?
No answers here, but I thought it was an interesting question.
