**WARNING** EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIDEO | Iraqis Stone Girl to Death Over Loving Wrong Boy

*** WARNING - EXTREMELY GRUESOME ***
Viewer Discretion Advised!!
(VIDEO AT BOTTOM OF ARTICLE)
A teenage girl lies dead on the ground in a pool of her own blood.
Her once groomed hair is cast across her face like a rag doll’s, her skirt pulled up to complete her humiliation.
In another image, she is seen lying on her side, her face battered and bloodied, barely recognisable.
The concrete block used to smash in her face lies next to her.
Du’a Khalil Aswad was beaten, kicked and stoned for 30 minutes at the hands of a lynch mob before one of her attackers launched a carefully aimed fatal blow.
Du’a Khalil Aswad: Killed by a lynch mob for falling in love
The murder was carried out in public, watched by hundreds of men cheering and yelling. Du’a’s crime? To fall in love with a Sunni boy. Her family practised the Yezidi religion.
The Sunnis and Yezidis hate each other. When Du’a ran away with her Sunni boyfriend, a sentence of death was passed on her.
This act of medieval savagery took place last month in a town in northern Iraq, in the fledgling ‘democracy’ created by Bush and Blair when they invaded the country in 2003 and ‘freed’ its people.

Brutal images captured by onlookers or the barbaric stoning
The sickening scenes, which defy belief in every sense, were captured by some of the observers and participants who thought it would be proper to record these harrowing events as some sort of memento.
Perhaps they thought it would serve as a warning to other young people who dared to follow their hearts - not the strictures of a religion which will not brook dissent - and punishes adolescent impetuosity with the most brutal of public murders.
The killing was filmed on a number of mobile phones. The images were then - all too predictably - posted on the internet.
The Mail takes no pleasure in publishing these pictures. But we believe our readers should witness the depths of the depravity still being carried out in the 21st century in the name of ‘honour’.
Perhaps, then, something can be done to prevent it happening again.
Of course, anyone who takes even a passing interest in news is all too aware of the tragedy that has engulfed the people of Iraq: the daily bombings, murders and kidnappings.
The subjugation of its women, however, has been largely ignored. Yet according to cultural observers, the number of so-called ‘honour killings’ has increased in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Campaigners say there is an ‘epidemic’ of such killings in the wartorn country. Autopsy reports in Baghdad often conclude with the verdict: “Killed to wash away her disgrace.”
The filming of Du’a’s death was just one more macabre element of her killing, but it has achieved something those bloodthirsty amateur filmmakers could not have predicted: it has brought such practices into the open and exposed them to the wider world.
It is, of course, too late for Du’a, a strikingly pretty young girl with long auburn hair. The 17-year-old must have hoped that the ‘liberation’ of her country would afford her opportunities she might otherwise never have had - for her education and a life of happiness free from oppression.
She lived with her family in the town of Bashika, near Mosul. They were neither rich nor poor.
It is believed Du’a met her Sunni boyfriend - whose name is not known - several months ago. They had grown up in an environment where hatred against rival factions is the norm.
The Yezidis - a Gnostic sect which combines Islamic teachings with Persian religions - despise the Sunnis; the Sunnis loathe the Yezidis.
Du’a and her boyfriend would have been all too aware that theirs was a forbidden love. But like so many teenagers before them, right back to the illicit love of Romeo and Juliet, they couldn’t help themselves.
For a while, they met in secret. It was during one such highly charged meeting that they came up with a plan to run away together.
It is not clear whether this desperate measure was a result of their having sought and been refused permission to marry, or if they decided to do it knowing that such permission would never be obtained.
“Her family would never have agreed to such a marriage,” says Diana Nammi, a leading Kurdish women’s rights campaigner.
Some Muslim groups have claimed that Du’a converted to Islam shortly before her murder. According to other reports, her boyfriend denies this.
They ran away together to an address in Bashika. The girl’s family alerted the police and Du’a and her boyfriend were found just a few days later.
According to Ms Nammi, who is calling for the girl’s killers to be brought to justice, Du’a was arrested and put into prison.
A few days later, the police apparently received assurances from the leader of her tribe - who Ms Nammi believes is Du’a’s uncle - that the girl would not be harmed.
What happened next is the subject of conflicting reports. According to some, the house of the tribal leader was stormed by a mob and Du’a dragged out and killed.
Ms Nammi, however, says she has information that it was the tribal leader who betrayed his niece to the mob. In this man’s eyes, Du’a had committed an unforgiveable crime, punishable by death.
The family’s ‘honour’ had been besmirched. The moment Du’a was placed in his house, her fate was sealed.
On April 7, Du’a was brought out of the house in a headlock to face the lynch mob. Hundreds of men were waiting for her - the excited atmosphere is said to have resembled a large sporting event - but no women.
On the video, Du’a’s screams can be heard as she is dragged to the ground. In a further humiliation, her lower body has been stripped.
Instinctively, Du’a tries to cover herself; only later was a piece of clothing thrown over her.
She is surrounded by an enormous crowd jockeying for a good view of the ritualistic killing. About nine men take part in the attack, including, it is thought, members of the girl’s family.
To any father of a daughter, that a helpless girl should be set upon with such cowardly savagery is beyond comprehension. One can barely imagine her terror.
It is a profoundly disturbing spectacle. One man kicks her hard between the legs as she screams in agony. Du’a tries to lift herself up, but someone hurls a concrete block into her face.
Another man stamps on her face. Someone kicks her in the stomach. Police officers stand idly by, some of them apparently enjoying the spectacle as much as anyone else.
Meanwhile, some observers film the execution on their mobile phones - the modern world intruding on a spectacle that belongs more in the Roman arena than in an apparently civilised society.
After half an hour of this savagery, Du’a is finally - mercifully, perhaps - dead. In a final humiliation, a man tries to lift her up, but drops her again, and her bloodied body is rolled face down into a puddle of blood. The family has had its ‘honour’ restored.
According to Ms Nammi, Du’a’s parents did not want her to be stoned, though it is not clear whether they might have agreed for her to be killed in some other way.
After her murder, according to Ms Nammi, two men were arrested by Iraqi police, but she has heard they were subsequently released without charge.
Reports suggest that two of Du’a’s uncles and four other people fled the town as investigators began to search for the culprits. It is thought these included her brother, who appeared in the video of the murder.
As for Du’a’s boyfriend - who has lost the girl he loved in the most awful circumstances imaginable - he went into hiding for a while, but it is believed that no action has been taken against him.
Du’a was buried in a simple unmarked grave. Later, says Ms Nammi, her body was exhumed by the Kurdish authorities, who have autonomous control of the region, and sent to the Medico-legal Institute in Mosul.
There her body was examined to find out whether she had been a virgin or not, before being returned to the Sheikh Shams cemetery.
To our Western eyes, this posthumous assault on Du’a’s body is the final insult. But according to Ms Nammi, it did at least establish that she was still a virgin and innocent of the ‘crime’ of which she had been accused.
However, Ms Nammi believes the mere fact that Du’a had run off with a Sunni boy would have been enough to have her sentenced to death.
Meanwhile, the cycle of tit-for-tat murders continues in Iraq. In this instance, in an apparent act of retaliation for Du’a’s murder, 23 Yezidi workers were attacked and killed two weeks later, apparently by members of an armed Sunni group.
The men were travelling on a bus between Mosul and Bashika when their vehicle was halted by the gunmen, who made them disembark before killing them.
Tomorrow evening, Ms Nammi, founding member of the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation, will lead a group of women meeting in Shoreditch, East London, to remember Du’a Khalil Aswad and give back to her the dignity torn from her by her violent death.
The women are pledged to campaign against the entrenched beliefs which lead to such senseless deaths - and the fact that the people who commit these crimes are not regarded as murderers, but as heroes of the community.
According to Ms Nammi, there have been an estimated 10,000 cases of honour killings in the Kurdistan region in the past decade.
Under Iraqi law, the punishment for anyone found guilty of an honour killing is just six months in prison.
“Something has to be done to stop this,” says Ms Nammi, who came to Britain in 1996. “There is an epidemic of so-called honour killings. It is almost routine and utterly unacceptable.
“We would greatly appreciate any contribution from the British Government in preventing these murders of women in Iraq.”
Ms Nammi has the support of Amnesty International.
“This young girl’s murder is truly abhorrent and her killers must be brought to justice,” says Kate Allen, Amnesty International UK Director.
“Unless the authorities respond vigorously to this and other reports of crimes in the name of “honour”, we must fear for the future of the women in Iraq.”
For the sake of 17-year-old Du’a, an innocent girl who simply fell in love with the wrong man, it is all too little, too late.

This is absolutely terrible…sickening
yes it is. it was so sad for the girl - that people in the world still live in such a bubble culturally. These iraqis who did this to the girl need found and have the same thing done to them.
This is pretty much apart of their culture and way of life. Unfortunately there is nothing anyone can do to change this. Many organiztions want to jump up and declare that these sort of situations shouldn’t happen but there is nothing anyone can do. Would you change your culture if someone told you that what you were doing was immoral and sickening?
No pretendo establecer un punto de jucio, solo deseo expresar mi personal punto de vista. Es inaceptable que bajo el amparo de cualquier clase de pretexto, ya sea religioso, cultural o social, se le prive de la vida a un ser humano. No debemos permitir que alguien venga y nos pretenda justificar este tipo de actos atroces. La vida humana es sagrada y nadie puede tomarla, bajo ningún tipo de argumento. Un acto tan atroz como el que presenta este video, me llena de vergüenza al pensar que fué realizado por otro ser de mi misma especie.
Malditos sean todos los cobardes que actuan asi, al amparo del anonimato y saciando sus mas bestiales y bajos instintos.
Y elevo una oración por el alma de esta pobre chica, y por las otras miles que viven expuestas a este tipo de salvajismo.

There is something we can do, it’s just that people are not willing to do it…. yet. When this barbarism effects us enough we will be motivated to change it.

Yep, these are the sorry suckers we have killed 3200 of our kids to protect and free to do this to their own kids. Look close firneds, if you voted Dubya in, you are responsible for giving these folks $500 billion of your tax money to help em out. Proud? You should be.
This is ridiculous. Disgusting.
Now we see the outrageous and disgusting behaviour of religious zealots, the psycho-pathetic, and the immaturity of the “spiritually-corrupted” of our own kind (humans) … shame, shame, and shame. We are shocked at such cruelty perpetuated by “others”, yet seem somewhat too rational and complacent about the mass-murders we call wars… up front and personal, we baulk at such tortuous cruelty, yet, when further away and cocooned in our pampered little “modern” societies, we’d rather pursue our indulgences in abundant affluence and techno toys for the immature and needing to be “happy-on-demand” cults (as in cultures) we have bred.
Yes, this is shocking, cruel, and unjustifiable, may the “spirit” of the girl now be in peace — however, justifying our own crimes of insanity against humanity and the environment through war, and “in God we trust, ours and not theirs” is just as pathetic and indictable.
Pointing fingers, blaming others, escalating judgement and discriminating aginst “them” and “us” are better is really a waste of time. For the religiously inclined… “thou shall not kill” is within every major religion across the planet (do your homework), yet how often we seem to think “killing” is the answer to peace! Strange logic?
Anyway, I think it is good that such exposure of “arse-souls” can be brought about, as long as we can expect the same from within our own ranks. And yes, outside of “Western beliefs and culture” there are/were other tenets about “balance” and reciprocation which are not needing to be justified from within the confines of organised religion and man-made dogma.
In an “aboriginal context” there would be no doubt that these perpetrators would be “tracked” and dealt with, with the fuss and mess or drama of a public media circus.
May this girl “rest in peace” well away from the insanity we all collude with.
Oops! Correction: “In an “aboriginal context” there would be no doubt that these perpetrators would be “tracked” and dealt with, with the fuss and mess or drama of a public media circus.

I watched the video. I was reluctant, didn’t know if I could stand it. I didn’t. I cried and vomited. The cruelty is of such unbelievable level. It is absolutely revolting. Such a shame, such an incredible shame. I am so angry, so very angry. Dua Khalil Aswad was murdered, bestialically. She fell in love with a young boy of the “wrong” kind. But the only thing that is really wrong are these coward, brutal and insane men who killed her. They have dehumanized themselves and killed together with Dua Khalil Aswad the fundamental respect that we owe when we call ourselves humans. My only wish is that these creatures spend the rest of their miserable days in a very dark jail. I hope Dua Khalil Aswad has found a save heaven.
What is the point of those using video cameras and cell phones to video this sad event? I sorry I decided to watch this.

They are absolute animals.
if its family members who did this, why dont they arrest the family members involved and others that were involved because there must be some witnesses. Actually they shoudl arrest all the people involved in the killing, including her family. they shoudl line them up against a wall and shoot them in the head one by one in public, then maybe then just maybe it will send a message across that THIS IS WRONG AND YOU CANT DO THIS TO SOMEONE. I just cant comprehend what type of humans these are they arent human in my book,
lol unrequitallovesong, wake up , this isnt a culture lol its a bunch of uneducated religious freaks that dont know any better and they need to be punished and learn
If you are Muslim how can you call yourselves a religion of peace. I know there are Muslims out there that don’t condone this brutal murder [MURDER] but where are you. Why don’t you band together regardless if your Sheia or Sunni and stop this. Any religion that believes this is acceptable, that believes that anyone who is not of their religion is an infidel, less than human and should be killed, they themselves are the ones who should be wiped from the face of the earth. As for everyone involved in this, they are the ones who are less than human. All involved should be hunted down like the dogs they are and shot on the spot.
[...] If you think your life is f****d, watch that. Click it if you can stomach it. [...]
dave47
Agree that it is a horrible crime and must not go unpunished.
However, please note the following details about the incident:
The girl was killed by her own people,Yazidis, who objected to her supposed relationship or marriage to a Muslim man.
Yazidis are of a different faith than Islam [SEE here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yezidi ]
More here on honour killings:
Yazidi girl’s murder sparks widespread condemnation
dave47, for your information the girl was non-muslim and when she converted to Islam, her non-muslim family stoned her.
Please read the top of this blog post: “Some reports suggested she had converted to Islam to be closer to her boyfriend.”
So it was NOT Muslims who did that to her, it was her bullshit tribe who stoned her to death for falling in love with a muslim boy, since she was not muslim herself.

“If you are Muslim how can you call yourselves a religion of peace. I know there are Muslims out there that don’t condone this brutal murder [MURDER] but where are you.” -dave47
Dear Dave,
I am not a Muslim, but I do know that you cannot simply generalize people because of the numerous atrocities the media decides to portray. When you ask “where are you”, I want to tell you that they are there. You acknowledged that there are people who don’t condone such actions, but you clearly contradict yourself later in your statement. The truth is that, there are Iraqis who don’t condone such actions, but when you live in such an oppressed society as theirs, it becomes nearly impossible to voice your opinions. Imagine, if the girl was killed for what she believed in, what would happen to a defender of the girl? Don’t give me any of the “I would help” bullshit, because we are talking about life or death here. I’m sure people stand up, and care, but also, many are too afraid to do so, for fear of their lives. Don’t call them cowards, because they have families and responsibilities just like us. Why do you think so many Americans shy away from joining the military? Not simply because they don’t support the war… it is the fear that they will die.

I noticed that while stoning her they tried to keep her body covered. They put something over her lower half.
Did they do it because its wrong to be uncovered in public or did they do it so they weren’t “further shamed” by her actions?

“lol unrequitallovesong, wake up , this isnt a culture lol its a bunch of uneducated religious freaks that dont know any better and they need to be punished and learn”
Would that not be the same thing as what they did? Her family felt that she needed to be punished for her actions. While I do not agree with their actions, I do think it is somewhat strange that you believe that these people be punished just the same; you mentioned previously that her killers should be “lined up against a wall and shot in the head”. An eye for an eye and the whole world will be blind.
And also, just because their actions are different from yours, which one person described as “barbaric”, do you have any right to call them “uneducated religious freaks”? We do things in America that many would view to be barbaric, and yet we would never consider changing our customs.
Disgusting and barbaric.
Very thorough article, glad it wasn’t just the video.
I saw this video about 2 weeks ago somewhere around the web, and I remember thinking how disgusting it was. Out of all the videos I have seen from the web, this is in the top 5 for “Most F*cked Up”.
I also wished that I knew more about the situation, and now I do.
tis is so wrong why would people do this stuff makes no sense but i think it is their culture i think we sould go in and stop these things from happening …….
i will be praying for that girl today
There is no honour in the savagery of love’s annihilation. A Romeo and Juliet of our times. And yet still, nothing will come of it because we’re all selfish bystanders who’ll look the other way. Why should anyone be killed for loving someone who comes from any sort of different background? There should be NO culture that seeks to harm anyone. Why is there only irrational logic in this world?
I have no faith in humanity.

To xyke, OK good point I miss spoke, they are not Muslims. So please tell me why you bring up Iraqis, I said nothing about Iraqis and they are not Iraqis, there are Kurds, talk about contradicting ones self. Maybe you need to educate yourself, honor Killings have even happened in England!!!! Does the Islam faith believe in honor killings, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there Islamic beliefs in her tribes faith YES!!!!!!!!!!! Now about your little statement about people not joining the military:
“Why do you think so many Americans shy away from joining the military? Not simply because they don’t support the war… it is the fear that they will die.”
Talk about me contradicting myself, not only do you contradict yourself but you also made an ignorant statement. Recruitment is up!!! As for this honor killing, this is horrifying and YES I would have at least tried if I had a fire arm. Please don’t respond with the term GUN, I have a rifle it’s for fighting and I have a gun, it’s for fun. Further more how do you know I would not have tried, YOU DON’T KNOW ME!!! But let’s focus on the steak and not the peas. This happens thousands of times a year, it’s brutal and uncalled for. Last but not least and my personal onion. Any culture or tribe in this case that believes in brutally stoning a girl to death simply because she wants to be with a man of a different faith is not a culture in my eyes, there a pact of DOGS!
[...] Iraqis Stone Girl to Death Over Loving Wrong Boy [...]
Yezidis are not Muslims, as the article says. They are a Christian Gnostic sect… part of their belief involving Satan worship, or more accurately, Satan appeasement.
This is a heinous act which happened because of ARAB culture, not Muslim, or Iraqi, or even Yezidi. Middle Eastern rednecks, essentially. Arabs are generally very protective/possessive of their women, and the dark side of that aspect of their culture is this. Currently, Iraq is going through the Dark Ages, thanks in part to the U.S., and anywhere where there is anarchy and civil unrest, this sort of thing happens. Lynch Mobs and whatnot. This is the Arab version.
“lol unrequitallovesong, wake up , this isnt a culture lol its a bunch of uneducated religious freaks that dont know any better and they need to be punished and learn”
- It’s unrequitedlovesong and as for being uneducated I don’t know how anyone could have gotten unrequital out of my username. This shouldn’t be about personal attacks, stay objective please.
“Would that not be the same thing as what they did? Her family felt that she needed to be punished for her actions. While I do not agree with their actions, I do think it is somewhat strange that you believe that these people be punished just the same; you mentioned previously that her killers should be “lined up against a wall and shot in the head”.

I could not have put it better.
unrequitedlovesong,
Hmmm… “just because their actions are different from yours, which one person described as ‘barbaric’, do you have any right to call them ‘uneducated religious freaks’?”
I don’t really get your point. Are you trying to caution against making ad hominem attack even in the face of barbarism? Okay.. you’ve got a point there, although if you are arguing against ad hominem attacks, you don’t make your point very well.
But it appears that you are defending the act of stoning a young girl to death as a cultural norm that we are unable to judge? You sound like you are advocating moral relativity. If it’s someone else’s culture.. then it’s okay, because we can never judge a different society. I can only disagree vehemently.
The passivity of your statements and your willingness to accept barbaric acts as merely ‘culturally different’ is distressing to me. “Her family felt she needed to be punished”? “While I don’t agree with their actions??” By that logic, the jim crow laws of the post civil war US were entirely acceptable and valid for the time and culture of the place. Who are we to comment on the lynching of young black men from trees for daring to look at white women? The young woman’s family probably felt that those young men “needed to be punished” Or perhaps the holocaust, the slaughters in the Sudan and various other places int he world now and in the past.. “while I don’t agree with their actions”… perhaps they are all merely phenomena of different cultural values and therefore none of our business?
I hope that you are not being well represented by your own comments, or that if you are, that people with views like yours do not exist in numbers in my community. It would be tragic for the planet’s future if there are many literate people in the 21st century who confuse lack of moral center for respect for cultural differences.

okayokay,
You quoted me when speaking to unrequitedlovesong. Perhaps I did seem astoundingly passive in what I said, but I was sickened more by the reaction to the stoning than to the stoning itself. The fact that people so immediately jumped to the conclusion that all of the people present in the video should be hunted down and killed is disgusting. Yes, a terrible act was committed and those who committed the act should be punished in some manner. But if we were to kill them, we would be doing the exact same thing that we would be reprimanding- we believe that they did something wrong and we are killing them for it. They believed that she had done great wrong, and they killed her for it. Can I highlight the parallel in any other way?
Keep in mind that every culture has its own acts that would be seen as disgraceful and barbaric. Half the world thinks that our (Americans) current war is barbaric, and yet we are still tied up in the Middle East. And there are a large portion of people who think that what we are doing is right. I’ve even heard some go so far as to say that “God” has necessitated this war.
“Any religion that believes this is acceptable, that believes that anyone who is not of their religion is an infidel, less than human and should be killed, they themselves are the ones who should be wiped from the face of the earth. ”
I agree with you on that Dave. However if this was the case, there would be very few Christians and Catholics on the earth, seeing as how many of them would have been eliminated during the Crusades. The Pope himself did sanction a majority of the Crusades that were carried out, so I believe he would fall into that category.
“Maybe you need to educate yourself, honor Killings have even happened in England!!!! Does the Islam faith believe in honor killings, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Dave, after reading that statement I think that you are the one that needs to educate yourself. If you have read up on honour killings, or read the Qu’ran, you would see that honour killings are condoned. In fact, murder is condoned in Mainstream Islam. Smaller, fanatical sects are influenced by older, ancient tribal ways for these killings, not religion.
I do agree with you that the stoning of Du’a is a heinous crime that shouldn’t go unpunished. And in this case, I do believe it should be an eye for an eye. I would like nothing more than to see those men responsible dragged out of their homes, humiliated and stoned to death. However this will only incite another circle of hatred, children blaming us for the death of their beloved fathers. This is how such hatred is spread. Vengeful actions are how wars are started.
Please keep in mind that speaking ignorantly not only makes a person look bad, but it discredits everything they say, everything they stand for. Making generalised comments that demean an entire religion over what a minority practise is biased and ignorant. When you make such comments, it only fuels hatred towards the Western world, that we learn so little about others, we only look to ourselves and not others. It allows others to make generalisations on you. My advice to you is don’t give anyone that chance. You are certainly dedicated in your beliefs, and I admire that, but base your beliefs on facts, not just hearsay and rumours.
this is absolutely sickening
i cant even begin to wrap my mind around how people can have such little respect for human life???
and another thing–
i think that everyone should stop trying to make dave47 seem like the bad guy here.. because clearly he is the least of the problem
the real error is a poor girl– whatever her religion might be was wrongly murdered by her own people!!

OK… What the fuck is wrong with Muslims? Seriously. Now I see why most Muslim people in America are discriminated against. I used to make fun of the backwoods hill-billies who would say, “We should just nuke em all!”. Well, that makes perfectly good sense to me after seeing this kind of bullshit. I’ve got a great idea. We, who live in the US, can find just about anyone we want to. Let’s find everyone involved in this video. Then, we find them… Easy right? Right. So, we find them, slice their testicles off (slowly) and curb stomp all of them. That way at least those bastards can’t produce any offspring and they have to live with no face. FUCK MUSLIMS. Call me racist or what the fuck ever. You know deep down inside you hate them too. Or maybe some other race. Perhaps the entire human race. Wow. This is just wrong. If that were my daughter I would slit each and every one of those Muslim fuck’s throats and drip dry them on my front lawn. Gimme some feedback. What would you do if that were your family member? I don’t even know this poor girl and I want to avenge her. Fucking Muslims.
Almost forgot… Next time any of you go to a Muslim owned gas station see how nice they treat you. How prompt and friendly they are with you. How they talk on the phone and fiddle with their computers while you wait in line for 10 minutes or so.
Sick, Sick, Sick, but we are all forgetting one thing THERE IS A GOD! HE SITS HOW AND LOOKS LOW……..
Religion should be banned, anyone caught practising fundamentalism should be lobotomised, eventually it will die out and the world will be a better place, the world is no place for these nutters, they have no minds of their own or a life, they can only follow a book which is all lies and crap
PS
I refer to all relion
This is so sick! I dont have any reply.
I feel so strongly about this, its an Inhuman act of cowardice, by mindless idiots
Oh my god! That poor girl! She couldn’t even defend herself and these so called men are beating her senseless! What disturbs me more is that they continue throwing stones at her body even after she’s lying in a pool of blood! We can do something to stop this! It isn’t right.
This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. These animals are truly amazing. Sick sick animals. I would love to line each and everyone of the allah seeking assholes and cut the balls right off of them and shove them down their throats. Allie babba goofy bastards. Allah must have some significance with ASSHOLE.
Oh one more thing…………….FLIP FLOP, bed sheet wearing son of a bitches.
I am a born Muslim from Pakistan, leaving in America for the past 18 years. I am 23 years old college student. I have never commented on anything on the internet before, so this is very important. I wanted to make clear what is the exact situation here. What these people did cannot be justified according to Islam. The fundamental Islamic law is that only an “ISLAMIC STATE(COUNTRY)” can impliment such islamic rules as stoning or killing people to death because of their sin. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD THAT IS OFFICIALLY AN ISLAMIC STATE, NOT EVEN SAUDI ARABIA. Therefore, what these people have done, is solely to please their anger and hatred, may Allah guide them to the straight path. Please, do not forget that white people used to lynch black people, and just because a group of people perform such acts, we can blame the whole race, religion or country. Every nation has good and evil, we as human beings were created with impatients (Quran). We all need to try to cooperate with each other in peace, and respect each others views and opinions. I made this comment after researching with the scholars of Islam. If anyone has any questions about Islam, please visit http://www.whyislam.org
P.S.
If you insult someone’s religion, you are insulting your own religion because when they insult your religion back, it is as if you insulted your own religion. - (Muhammad PBUH)
I have never insulted christianity, hinduism or jewdism. Please try to act a little mature about situations and don’t curse my religion. Was it my fault that some people do not understand Islam because they did not find the time to study it.
Also, never take your parents religion for granted. Go out there and study other religions and then choose the one you feel most comfortable with. That is what I did.
This whole thing makes me sick… how can people live with themselves each day!?…
Firstly i would like to make it clear that THIS IS NOT THE WAY OF ISLAM… being a muslim and hearing that ALL MUSLIMS do this is sick!! WHAT THESE PEOPLE DID HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM.. it is for their own sick pleasure… NO ONE.. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has the right to play god… NO ONE.. these people that have committed this deserve to die…
FOR all of those people that believe that ALL MUSLIMS do this or that this is the way of islam.. you are a bunch of arrogant idiots that need to pick up a book and READ IT!…
No where.. and i mean NO WHERE.. should this be justified and should this occur..
WE NEED TO EDUCATE these women that this isnt right.. they dont have to take this.. MEN ARE NOT SUPERIOR TO WOMEN… we are equal in the eyes of ALLAH, and therefore, if these people believe that waht they are doing is ALLAH’S WORK.. then they are wrong and they need to pick up the QURAN and read it because from i have read…. it says NOTHING about this!!
Some people are so sick… I pray that they get the same torture that they inflicted on this poor girl.. and not only that.. but that they get it 100 times worse for being so STUPID and PSYCHOTIC!
These animals shouldn’t be living I have so much hate for them, how can these horrible “human beings” watch a girl being tortured like that and for them to video tape her dying on their cell phones….like come on? These men should be hanged and tortured just how she was and maybe they will then realise what a horrible they are. What’s even worse, these disgustingly men still throw and punch her aorund while she is completely dead. I want and hope they burn in hell slowly so they acn feel the pain.
Sources say that 30 men believed to witness this were later shot by a sunni man… not sure if it’s true or not… but that is the latest on this…
THis issue has touched so many people…. there has been loss of sleep, and a deep feeling of sickness regarding it..
lets band together to fix this…
there has to be SOMETHIGN we can do..
Why is everyone so focused on Islam? These people who killed her, they were not in any way, shape or form, Muslims. They were YEZIDIS, which is a completely different religion. In fact, these people killed her because she fell in love with a Muslim boy. Yes, you here about these type of atrocities within the Muslim community as well, but you can’t blame it on the religion. This is due to certain cultures and brainwashing within communites. Horrific acts of this nature occur all over the world, including the good ole’ USA, where we are apparently so liberated and open minded. You here about gang-rapings and murders almost everyday on the news. People who are from uneducated, low-income communites and villages are usually brought up to believe certain truths, no matter how ridiculous they may seem to the rest of the world, but this is their reality and they truly believe they are doing something right and for the greater good. For example, just like Hitler brainwashed the Nazis and Germans into believing that Jews were sub-human, and just like whites were brought up to believe that blacks were inferior… and men used to (and some still do) think that women who have multiple partners are “sluts” but promiscuous men are applauded and encouraged. Bad people exist in ALL cultures, and our world is far from perfect. Before you go pointing your finger at someone, remember there are 4 pointing back at you.
Please stop the hateful comments, all you do is promote hatered and make people resentful towards you and your own culture/race/religion. You can’t fight fire with fire.
P.S.- HIMANI you were very well spoken, I completely agree with you.
i agree with stopignorance completly!… way to say
**After re-reading my post, I realized that some people might missunderstand and think I am generalizing in my examples, but I just meant to make a point that SOME people in all groups can be judgemental and discriminate. I did not intend to put down any particular group or race myself, and I apologize if it sounded that way.
its not their fault ! its their bullshit religion which forces them to do this kindaa in-human behaviour!! thats why these people are being hated by most of the world !
they are going to be wiped out of the world one day !! and thats for sure !
people leaving comments are telling others to study islam and find good things about it !!!! islam is not bad and bla bla bla !!! its all bullshyt !!! why there is no problem like this with any other religion?? why islam is taken as an excuse for crashing planes into WTC ??? why islam is taken excuse as killing this innocent girl??
nobody has time to go out and find out good deeds of islam !! but atleast jus stop doing all this bullshyt what you guys are doing in this world !! let other live peacefully !!! you are on everybdy’s mind!! every morning people think in back of their head what you illeterate bas’tards are going to do bad today!!! whom u r going to kill and where you are going to blast a bomb !!!
and all this in the name of islam !! which some people are saying is “not bad at all” !!!
let the world live in peace !!! thats all we want !!! we are not intersted in knowing your religion !! all we need is peace !! just get out of other people’s business !!!
Those of you saying that this is the fault of ISLAM, stop being so stupid.. this act has nothing to do with religion! it has nothing to do with the way islam works.. you are ignorant idiots for saying that!.. You want peace? well you’re promoting hatred by being ignorant and racist..
this act is being protested by muslims that follow the islamic faith so dont say that this is an Islamic thing because all you’re doing is making a bigger ass of yourself than you already are
This is disgusting. How can someone do something as horrible as this. I understand that everyones cultures have different views of everything but stripping a girl and killing her infront over over 100 men and making videos of it is just plain disgusting. I will pray for that girl and all the other girls who have made a simple “mistake” of falling in love and that have ended up this way. I hope those men ( every single one of them) get caught and get this punishment as well. This has nothing to do with religon and i agree with the girl above me on that. But this video is absolutly disgusting and the girl should rest in peace. And to the boyfriend of the girl, wherever you are, good luck and stay strong!
Dave47 seriously ur such a hater
Muslims do honor killings because the person there going to kill ; they have done wrong for example they did a robbery or murdered some body, tht is when we kill people WHEN THEY DO SUMTHING WRONG
The killing of sadam hussien, U GUYS KILLED HIM ON EID!!! a day of happiness’s
and Lots of ppl do honor killings or used too why can’t u blame it on them??? like maybe christens do or did honor killings why not blame them are muslims the only ppl U can BLAME xD
in other words i agreee in what stopignorance said! so yeah
and Lots of ppl do honor killings or used too why can’t u blame it on them??? like maybe christens do or did honor killings why not blame them are muslims the only ppl U can BLAME xD-peace555
what i mean by tht is why is islam the first religion u point at, what have we done wrong to u?
lol 4th post
just one last thing i want to say
tht her family did wrong killing her like tht and may peace be upon her
This is mainly to zakhiyya. I’m Pentecostal (but not currently practicing) now that that’s out I know enough about Islam to satisfy myself, how about you, what do you know about Pentecost. That’s Pentecost, please don’t lump all Christianity with Pentecost because there is a difference. It’s refreshing to hear a Muslim speak out about an ancient custom that has no place in today’s world. By the way; every culture, peoples and many religions (not all religions) etc… have some history of barbaric customs. But how many still practice the barbaric acts??? That’s the difference and if you would have really read what I wrote you would have seen that I was speaking in the present tense. So here’s the bottom line, the dogs, the pigs that murdered this girl should be drug out in the street and shoot like the animals they are. Now if that offends anyone GOOD!!!! One a side note it offends me when a Muslim insists that Jesus was a profit, I hope you will take the time to understand why I feel that way.
To peace555, do you remember Saturday Night Live, if so how about this, “Jane (peace555) you ignorant slut.” I admitted in and earlier blog that I miss spoke about a few facts but the essence of what I was saying was that this is wrong. Hello; they have cell phones but are practicing barbaric customs from the middle ages. Let me jump out on a limb (I’ll probable be wrong but here we go); from your name you’re a 60’s type, just a guess. So let me say this, I was not in favor of Bush invading Iraq but on the other hand Sadam needed to be removed. Talk about a cruel sadistic murdering bastard. So here’s the bottom line, you nor anyone else on this blog knows me but I know this. In America (fort the most part) we all have the freedom to say what we want, yelling fire in a crowded theater is not free speech, this blog proves it and to have many of the things we want, choice of religion too. All this young girl wanted was to be with the boy she fell in love with. So in America; say what you want, work hard and have what you want, have a feeling that God or your higher power is some places else make the change. All you have to do is live with the changes or mistakes if you made any, this girl died a brutal death at the hands of PIGS for her choice. I know Muslims feel pigs are a dirty animal, so if calling these pigs that murdered this girl PIGS offends anyone GOOD!!!!
To all, especially Muslims, in this country you have the freedom of speech and choice; that includes religion. In many Arab and Persian countries you don’t have these freedoms. I have nothing against Muslims or any religion but I take offence when I hear a Muslim saying that I’m an infidel and should be killed unless I convert to Islam and by the way that’s whats being taught to many young Muslims in Arab and Persian countries. Last but not least, the Pentecostal faith believes that the Holy War is fought on our knees praying, not in the street spraying an AK.
P.S. Joel Osteen is a good place to start if you want to understand my view on Pentecost.
Dave47
P.S., again to peace555
“Dave47 seriously ur such a hater”
“The killing of sadam hussien, U GUYS KILLED HIM ON EID!!! a day of happiness’s”
Once again; peace555 you ignorant slut!!!! The Iraqie government hung Sadam against the U.S. State Dept. and White Houses wishes on this day of happiness, EID is what your calling it? peace555 you have your fingure and thumb in the shape of an “L” on your forehead, ignorant slut.
Dave47
I just finished reaading most of the blogs, so here’s my responce. If you are from an Arab or Presian area you probably have Muslim beliefs of some sort, unless you are Jewish. So tell me, why don’t I see you out in the streets here in AMERICA protesting against barbaric acts like this, WELL!!!!! I’m an American, I have better things to do, like work, than protest (in the streets) over something like this. If you are Muslim here in my counrty, America enjoying the freedoms my country provides don’t try to yell me how bad or wrong my country is. If you don’t like my country, what it stands for or my culture, GET OUT, GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY! Lets see how many freedoms you have in YOUR country! I’m sure Iran will welcome you with open arms and make note, Islam is the state religion all other religions are prohibited.
dave47
“let the world live in peace !!! thats all we want !!! we are not intersted in knowing your religion !! all we need is peace !! just get out of other people’s business !!!”
I totally agree with what you have said, but think about what you said here for a minute…If you are not interested in knowing the religion then you should also not be interested in insulting it… Because if you are not interested then it means you dont know anything about Islam..am i right? and when you dont know anything then how can you make comment, how do you know what Islam has to say about this. and also you said that get out of others business..if so then you do know that with your comment you are getting into other business too..we alll here are making fights talking about religion..if any of you really want to do something then do something instead of making comment that is creating more hatered b/t each other. We cant just talk and say stuff and forget about it…if you really want to do something..read what Islam has to say about this..because I just read in the translation and no where in there it says to kill..like this..its just some uneducated people who really dont know anything about Islam…I am sorry…but if you really wana know Islam then sit down and read the book please then make as many comment as you want!Thanks!
May Allah give the girl place in Jannah, Inshallah!
P.S. Take action instead of wasting time creating hatered! and Please dont make fun of Alllah Subhana Tallah!
Salam!
allah yahmak (RIP) thats all we can say now, and may those who did this to you be brought to justice if not in the after life they Will face Allah. I am filled with anger because all those people watch you bleed to dealth and did nothing to stop it.
and to the readers of this artical you must understand that all these people came because some one was unthuthful with the story. “gossip spreads like bush fire” stories change from person to person. but in any means they should not had cheered for death&murder.
the majorty of Islam followers do not support stonning to death.
but in this case is a cultural and religion issue.
are they actually cheering..you know they should have not put the video..i mean its not good..”why would you want to see a young woman get killed so brutally. it’s not a movie, it’s a real person. If she was your sister, would you want her video of her dying posted everywhere…”
“secondly, people don’t understand the situation and in the comments people are saying BS comments like this happens all the time in Iraq and other Muslim countries. She was killed by a mob of people belonging to the Yezidi faith because she converted to Islam. the mob killed her. “
I agree, stay out of other peoples busness and I have no problem with anyones religion. With that said I know every religion has ignorant fanitics and here is where problem is. Like I said earlier, I’m satified with what I know about Islam but what I can’t understand is why so many people who claim to be peaceful Muslims are causing so much terror. I have seen a video clip of a U.S. citizen who converted to Islam say and I quot “Islam is a peaceful religion but peace on our terms.” It doesn’t take a brain surgon to figure out that this ment unless you convert to Islam you must die. It’s a shame that the fanitics are giving Islam such a bad name. So, I can let others live in peace with their religon right up to the point when some fanitic tries to force me to change or die. As for stoning, no place in this world for it. If the crime is punishable by death there so many other ways, leathel injection works for me. In the case of this girl I could understand her family dis-owning her and letting her go in PEACE but muder by a mob beating, sorry this is unacceptable!
I see a lot of people writing bad things about muslim and their religion..However, after reading some articles, I found out that the girl was Yezidi, which mean she was not muslim…but she converted to Islam..and then her Yedizi relatives and some other Yidi men..dragged her out of the house of one of the Yizidi who she was staying for a shelter with..so muslim didnt do anything…instead she turned to ISLAM and became a Muslima! If you dont believe me, and think i am lying, please visit this website

Salam
Islam never said that the girl should be beaten like this…these men off course didnt have any right to kill her…its just wrong, and about people getting killed just because they are not muslim..no islam doesnt say this either..because we are not GOD and we have no right to say that you must die because you are non-muslim..and to tell you the truth Islam is a peacful Religion…but uneducated people think become too wierd and start making up stuff that the religion has never said.
As for the girl, the mobs should have not done this…if they were realy ashamed that she converted to Islam, then why did they take her clother off? and why did they stoned her to death in public!
Your comment is awaiting moderation…wht does this mean??? its says on top of my comment #88
khadija90, Islam and the world needs more people like you to stand up for the true Muslim faith. If you have no problem with me being a Christan; I have no problem with you being a Muslim. So, if I ever whitness a Christan telling anyone of a different faith that they must convert or die or that their beliefs are wrong I would would be in their face telling them that they are wrong and I would defend the non-Christan. I hope that you would do the same.
No one should be put to death by stoning or mob beatings. A trial but the courts, a conviction and lethal injection and the only crimes I can think of that deserve this are people that are child molesters or murders.
Let us all go in peace and live in peace.
I agree with you Dave..you brought up a nice point!

Disgusting.
That is really sad how the worl is now-a-days
:(:(
To all:
Why is Dave47 getting so much stick? Has anyone actually noticed lagwag1983’s post? at least Dave47 had the decency to own up to making a mistake.
after the amount of posts that state that this was not carried out by muslim’s lagwag1983 still proved his/her’s ignorance.
To Lagwag1983:
I was already sickened to hear about this story but it has sickened me reading your post too. I am a catholic living in the UK. Being in the UK i have come across many people who make jokes about American’s. Their intellegence, their weight etc. I am asking you, would you so calmly accept this? If you were to come across somebody who so quickly judged the country and the people who live in it? i was born in America but brought up in the UK and, i’m not sure about you but i certainly don’t like it when people slate America or England.
you requested some feedback, well here it is. My only request to you, is to please do some growing up and possibly do a little bit of light reading about different cultures. Please release yourself from this bubble you appear to be living in and take some time to teach yourself about the 100’s of other worlds there are around you.
In any religion there may be a murder in the name of religion, but that is in the Dark Ages. Now we live in the civilised world. I really can’t stand these people. No word in human or animal can describe these people. Did ever of u see animal kill for pleasure or honor? they said ‘in the name of honor’ or ‘for religion’, but what give you the right to kill people? even if you can show me your god infront of me and ask him to give me a black and white note that you are allowed to kill people like that, i still condemn this killing.
To Du’a,
I’m not sure what ur religion are, but i’m a Catholic. God bless you and may you rest in peace. Amen
These is really disgusting. In Islam There is nothing like this. yezidi has nothing to do with ISlam. Islam is a Complete and Full of peace relegion . It is Really bad that some people Talk like this about Islam.
Khadija90 said the video should not be shown. I strongly disagree! Only by people seeing the horror of what has happened can good people make sure this doesn’t happen again.
I’d use the same argument for images of the Iraqi dead being shown in UK and US homes. Because we see a censored version of events, we really don’t know what’s going on … So we’re far more likely to vote for the same politicians and have yet more war. People should see the horror of war in order to stop it, no matter how *distasteful*.
Animals!!! That was nothing less then murder. Still the maximum amount of time to be in prison is only 6 mounths! If I were an Iraqi women I would get the hell out of Iraq! Adios Amigos. Get an education else where and never look back!
These people are muslim enough for me….totally barbaric. they follow Mohammed:
History/Founder: Yezidis are a Kurdish sect, named after their supposed founder Yezid, the Umayyad Caliph. The Yezidi revere the Prophet Mohammed and the Sufi mystic Adi Musafir, a descendent of the Umayyad Caliphs (Kalifs). Adi is credited with writing many of the Yezidi Holy texts and is possibly the originator of the faith. Islamic writings mention the religion as early as the fourteenth century, but some scholars link them to Mithraism, Zoroastrianism, and even ancient Iraqi Buzzard worshippers.
Yezidism is an enigma that has confounded scholars and incited debate for some time. The influence of Islam, especially Sufi ideas, on the religion is heavy and often obscures other aspects.

a horrible video
it’s interesting, that in ukraine and russia this video is considered to be made in ukrainian city nikolaev. the story is the following: the girl was hiv-infected and she knowingly infected few her classmates. the events of the video are their revenge…
Those are animals. Let them lose their souls.
And to Muslims who say “this isn’t Islam”
Wake up. It IS Islam. Just like the 72 virgins in the afterlife for martyrs is Islam. I don’t know about anyone else but in my religion spirituality is more important than sex.
just look at the video…all those repressed men killing a young girl for falling in love with some guy…all the while sexually assaulting her during the attack. THEY ARE ANIMALS.
At least in that part of the world they allow this lawlessness to exist. The same lawlessness exists in Iran. They stoned women for ADULTERY.
Crazy assholes.
Islam is a danger to this planet!!!
Someone must do same with those who did with this Girl as soon as…ahh..
I did not watch the video. I felt I was horrified enough just reading about it and after reading a few of the comments on the video, I’m glad I didn’t. The whole thing is shocking and quite gross to say the least.
Also, after reading the comments, I am quite shocked as to all the brutality leaking out of some of the commenter’s. I truly believe that no greater punishment could come from the persons responsible for this stoning (or any other stoning of vile act) to someday wake up and understand the pain that they caused. (IMO) Only then will the world be a little more peaceful.

I do not believe Islam is a “complete and full of peace” religion. Too many Muslims have said and done things to prove otherwise. (Look at generally favorable reactions to the 9/11 attacks in many parts of the Islamic world.) Now I realize that this young woman was not Muslim (originally), and that she was allegedly stoned to death after she converted to it from some primitive religion that was later influenced by Islam and other religions.
While I think the action was terrible and unjustifiable, others above have pointed out (though perhaps sarcastically or facetiously) that there are practices in Christianity that some people elsewhere in the world might find just as objectionable. Unless or until we disavow ourselves of the notion that all religions and/or cultures are equally morally acceptable and should be tolerated (a position that, sadly, I don’t think is PC), we will have to continue to allow situations like the stoning of this young woman to occur.
I have no words.I wept after watching this video.Today i prayed to my GOD that If you are GOD punish these people. Du’a, I promise you that i will take ravange of your blood with my way.You were innocent sister ,you were innocent.I can’t see this video once more.GOD IF YOU HAVE SOME RESPACT OF MY PURITY PLEASE THROW THESE PEOPLE IN TO HELL.I know that my tears will not stop.But i can’t do anything.Dua love was your right sister.I know that GOD will give you place in his own heavon like his doughter,after my pray.I HAVE GREAT RESPACT FOR YOU IN MY HEART. I AM SORRY,BECAUSE I COULD NOT HELP YOU SISTER.
nice shot
Hard to imagine how that must feel to be a young woman surrounded by angry men stoning you to death and knowing that no one will likely intervene, and knowing that soon you will be dead…yikes. Must have been frightening, and painful. Humanity, what can you say? I can’t say I expect too much more from most of us.
Saddam had the right idea..gas and exterminate these prehistoric animals,every last one of them.There is no place in this world for these primitive fucks. Nuke em please and Allah can suck my dick!
