If Muslims are so peaceful, why do they go to Haj pilgrimage to stone the devil?

I read where they go there to stone the devil. These are the same peaceful Muslims we all hear about. They are not the radical Islam muslims. Throwing stones at the devil does not seem very peaceful to me, even if it is the devil. Yes, I know in the old testament people threw stones too, but we no longer do such a thing. So is this OK with you and if so why? I think it shows they are not peaceful at all.

maybe they just want to get stoned
