As long as you understand that stones=Muslims is just that, a guess. And a poor one at that.

The guess is questionable only because of Cape Verde's Protestant/Catholic-dominated demographics, not because Islamics don't lead the world by a wide margin in stonings (which they do).

Ok, so it's somewhere between a poor guess and a good one.

Whoring around in foreign countries appears to carry some risk. Good thing these women weren't xenophobes, though.

If this guy was angry at one of the women for having an affair with him and then dumping him, a so-called crime of passion, then this was kind of rough on the other two women. Maybe a hatred of women in general, or a racial motive, as well.

"It looks increasingly like this was a crime of passion," he said.
Well, duh. When's the last time stoning some women to death was a crime of indifference?

I want to know if the jilted boyfriend was of a longer term or was a short term tourist girl's fling.
When my wife and I lived in Crete one summer, we watched all the Brit and Euro girls go after the local Greek guys. Lots of rapes and gang bangs occurred.
Go ahead and vacation, but never take up with the local guys. EVER! See Aruba and the Holloway girl. Western girls just assume that good looking local guy is just an exotic version of the guys back home. But reading people from another culture is never that easy.
