Whilst on Hajj (Pilgrimage-The Religious Journey A Muslim must take) one of the things Muslims do is collect stones and throw them at thee pillars. These three pillars represent the devil so the throwing of stones symbolises not giving in to evil and resisting temptation. In other words, telling the devil they believe in God and not him.
To follow the example of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) when he threw 7 stones at the Devil on his way to sacrifice his son, Ishmael. This also symbolises fighting the Devil.

Most of the rituals the Muslims perform during Hajj are in the memory of Hazrat Abraham (Ibraheem AS). In his dream, Hazrat Ibraheem saw that he was sacrificing his son Hazrat Ismaiel (AS) who was a young boy of about eleven years of age. He told his son about his dream. The young boy replied that he should do according to the command of Allah Karim. Hazrat Abraham (AS) took Hazrat Ismaieel (AS) to the valley of Mina to sacrifice him. At three places Satan came to Hazrat Abraham (AS) to persuade him not to sacrifice his son. Each time Hazrat Abraham (AS) threw stones at him to ward him off. The Muslims throw stones at the symbols of Satan at three places. It is an essential ritual of Hajj.
When Abraham was taking his son to be sacrificed, as God had commanded, Satan came to Abraham three times and tried to convince him not to do it. Abraham rejected Satan and threw stones at him to drive him away. The pillars in Mina - near Mecca - represent Satan. Muslims throw stones at them in three different places in rememberance of Abraham. www.freequran.org

Stones are stiff because they are solids. Solids have definite shape and volume meaning that they cannot be easily made to change their form resulting in them being "stiff". Unlike some pure metals or other elements, which may be malleable, stones and rocks are made of crystalline compounds that break rather than bend.
