No, she got pregnant at that age. You cannot be sure he didn't try earlier :D

You forgot the fact, that jihadists kill people all the time in the middle east. Even people of the same faith. That's a much more serious offence that any drawing.
First, they didn't organize this contest in the East.
Second, the even would have ended without blood, if there were no crazies. I think the proper course of action is really this. Flush the crazies out before they take your country over.

I'm not fond of Uber (not an user, and read some horror stories about raping, etc).
I'm also a Google fan.
But this story reminds me of M$ eating up smaller fish who thought it is safe to partner up with the shark.

The US doesn't invade AND occupy its neighbors. They go farther, and don't stay there for decades. Anyone rich enough (in the US) can get a fair trial. In Russia, you have to be a friend of Putin.
