What fundamentalist religion does...

http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/05/18/iraq.honorkilling/

A 17 year old girl was stoned and kicked to death by members of her own family because she was dating someone of another religion. Police were standing by, and did nothing, nor did anyone else.


Just an example of the human rights travesties that still occur today.

 

Why group it as something that occurs with religion?
I've heard of murders that occur when an atheist becomes a Christian/bu dist/etc.

 

They did it for religious reasons.

 

Heh, what's the discussion?
They're hopeless. One of the reasons we're pulling out of Iraq.

 

Yeah, iraq is just a loss cause.
I wish we didn't lose so many lives over it before we figured this out.

 

We're pulling out of Iraq?

Since when...

 

Well I would probably have to marry someone my own religion. However, I wouldn't get my ass kicked by my family:$

 

Yea it sucks if I ever decide I want to get married I'll probably have to look elsewhere since everyone in my town is a religious freak almost...

 

Meant to say "going to pull out" as we are in the process. Bush just doesn't want to prematurely. Not to mention the Iraq prime minister and many Iraq leaders don't want us to pull out... so he's no doubt feeling pressure there as well.

Meh, but who cares if Iraq gets slaughtered after we pull out?
I mean... we're saving the lives of US soldiers and adding stability to our economy, right?

Lol keep dreaming mate,,, they ain't leaving till the oil dries out...

 

Yikes I feel sorry for the 17 year old :/

 

Not the first time a conflict caused by religion has occurred.

 

crap im glad im not her

 

lol@that woman

 

This also happenes in my country and on any other arabic country
you don't want to see your daughter taking drugs,punishing wont work,so i think she deserve it...parents on your country don't really take the responsibility;take this as an example;your a girl,your mother opened your room door to find you're having sex with someone else,what will she tell you? make protection and let the guy use condom
when its here;A mother sees her daughter having sexs,either she will be beaten hard or killed,simple

 

Parents may not take responsibility in the US, but that's taking it a bit too far. No one should be killed because of religion under any circumstances.

 

Trust me what you saw in the vid is nothing compared to some accidents happened here
before like 3 months there was nearly a massacre happened because a girl of this family had sex with a boy from that family
8 people killed from both sides..

 

[sarcasm]you're so funny here's a cookie |: D[/sarcasm]

This is terrible but what can we do -____-

 

The fact that there's something worse doesn't excuse it.

 

The gods must be crazy.
