Everywoman - Honour Killings - Part 1

[Peristerygr]

EVERYONE Al Jaseera is a muslim channel!

[pritpal1964]

Economic base democracy spreading its social & environment junk around the world through powerful media & wars. Arrange Marriage is most peaceful respectful process to get merry. kids fight over girl-friends killed even in west other social & health problems, Honor is mean something. Social values are to protect kids & peace. Communism & Economic base democracy is creation of same civilization circle around wealth, no soul or social sense. 12-13 yr old single mothers abuse drugs is free-dom.

[Msqfocus]

To think that there are people in this world, like this so called “doctor”, with this kind of fucked up logic still exist makes me want to throw up. Ignorant people disgust the shit out of me.

[Leonce62]

Turks ar laic arent they, so what has it got to do with religion? Its more a custom and traditions. It is not permissible for a person to kill another one and the Quran says that. It has nothing to do wit Islam,.

[BigTrollShaman]

@Leonce62

lol killing your own daughter for dating a Christian and not a Muslim

how does that not have to do anything with Islam

Even if it is not allowed explicitly in the Koran, why is the Islamic government turning a blind eye to this?

[proudfemale]

@BigTrollShaman the reason muslim governments turn a blind eye to such immorality/murder is that islam teaches that females are property...and under shariah law there is no penalty for killing offspring

sick isnt it...but this is islam

[proudfemale]

@Leonce62 your DISHONESTY is pitiful...as is your denial

explain WHY over 90% of all honour MURDERS are by muslim males...who admit 'why' they did it, and ALWAYS it relates/connects to islam...e.g. she didnt cover, didnt obey or respect me, or was dating etc

to claim its not permissible to kill in islam is COMICALLY FUNNY - your dirty prick mohammed was a MURDERER of innocents, & INSTRUCTED penalty for non belief/leaving islam or adult consentual love is MURDER

why lie?

[Leonce62]

Turks ar laic arent they, so what has it got to do with religion? Its more a custom and traditions. It is not permissible for a person to kill another one and the Quran says that.

[vita789]

This is what religion does people!! I myself was not allowed to date or speak to boys as a teenager. I'm so glad I have the freedom to make my own fucking decisions in Canada, im so thankful that I can look my family in the face and tell them I dont believe in their stupid religion that subordinates women..i love freedom, I hate religion. Atheism, is the truth look into it!

[paradais2]

I couldn't watch the killing. I wonder who filmed that? There is no honour in killing!!!

[paradais2]

It's interesting to hear this practice originated in the hunter gatherer era. How long ago was that!!! No matter how or when it originated, it still is oppressive misogyny to the extreme. Women are not property of men. Women are held solely responsible for upholding this "honour". Men are not stoned to death for same reason. The sickest part of this practice is stoning a woman raped by a man. Just how fucked up is this? It is no wonder muslims have a bad name even though not all do this.

[paradais2]

The sooner this Muslim extremist inhumane barbaric misogynist practise is stopped the better. I wish the Women's Activist well in her endeavours. Governments need to treat these crimes as any other murder & strictly enforce the law, handing out life sentences to offenders. Religion should be separated from government. The western world should intervene by funding education programs as well as any other political action to put pressure on these countries to stamp out this horrendous practice.

[privatepinkbits]

everytime a muslim speaks i smell camel shit

[unitedcoloursofAfg]

Killing a human being is NEVER justified, no matter how strong the motive...life in prison yes, executions no, I don't care which country in the world you live in.

Oh and by the way honour killings are a part of culture not religion (something that evolves, unfortunately some parasites don't and live in the mindset of the10th century) so dont associate Islam as a catalyst for it. at the end of the day when you can't distinguish between life and honour then thats when u need to see a shrink.

[shomzabe]

@unitedcoloursofAfg

I can't agree more. He who kills a person as if he kills the entire human race is what Islam says. Honor killing needs a very harsh legal punishment and a serious campaign for cultural change. Collaborative regional and international efforts are urgently needed to bring about this change

[greeny202a]

@shomzabe Oh come on! you may have a point with some of the cases but are you seriously suggesting that all the videos on youtube like this one of muslim violence and barbarity have nothing to do with their religion???

[scalchas]

@greeny202a

That is exactly what I'm saying. If honor killing has anything to do with Islam, then you have to explain why Christian Arabs practice it and why this horrible custom is prevalent among non-Muslims like Hindus, Greeks, Southern Italians, Spanish and Turks among others. Also, if you think honor killing is Islamic, then the burden is on you to cite an authentic Islamic source where the custom is sanctioned.... Fair?

[greeny202a]

@scalchas I am not saying that honour killing is islamic im saying that it is far more prevalent in the islamic world, just searching through youtube will show you that. As im sure you are aware 47% of the islamic world is illiterate so ofcoarse they are practicing islam by the teachings of imams not reading the qur'an so to site references for what these people are being taught is impossible. They obviously are not being taught that it is wrong or they wouldnt do it!

[scalchas]

@greeny202a

You said "all the videos on youtube like this one" and that what I was responding to. If you're talking about all violence some Muslims are carrying, I would agree , but again, ignorance among the extemist Muslims is deeply seated for the last 50 years of so. But there is 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide with different cultures & languages, and we can't lump the extremist minority with the decent majority just like I can't equate the pat roberstons of the world w/ christianity

[greeny202a]

@scalchas Sure I agree with you to a point but you have to understand something, muslims are very proud of saying 1.5 billion but we in the west look at these populations (especially in the middle east) and see at least half of them have very poor education and follow a different islam than an educated one such as yourself and I think that they are not as small a minority as some muslims think.

[scalchas]

@greeny202a

First I dispute the percentage of illiteracy you mentioned, the ME has a good percentage of illiterate population especially among women, the question is what caused this? Obviously the aftermath of colonialism and the present of dictatorship that deliberately promotes ignorance is among the reasons but things are moving quick. In 1968 in SA, there were 3,000 female students vs. 500,000 male students in schools, now; the number of both sexes is equal at grade and college level.

[scalchas]

@greeny202a

I think education is the key to political development and cultural change in the Middle East, However, radical change will never work, it has to be liberal change that comes from within, not without. Globalization of communication and information have been very effective tools for the youth especially in the recent uprising in several Arabic countries, and I hope that the entire region is emancipated from the evil of dictatorship for the sake of the Middle East and the world

[greeny202a]

@scalchas Firstly the statistics I presented are the official UNDR statistics and are widely available in the internet, you have to remember countries like Saudi Arabia have a high literacy rate 92% but then countries like Mali have a very low rate 22%. Secondly I agree with you on education but I think the biggest problem facing islam is the simple fact that it is not just a religion it governs you way of life too, this is NEVER a good thing

[scalchas]

@greeny202a

I agree with the separation between religion and state and with de-politicization of Islam, but separation in the west doesn’t mean that religion doesn’t play a big role, the queen is still the head of church in England, and the church in the U.S tries to exert tremendous influence on the gov. the difference bet. the ME and the West is that in the West, freedom allows the market of ideas while the Middle East, there is not freedom for anything which paves the way for extremism

[greeny202a]

@scalchas as we found out in Europe 500 years ago with the catholics. You must learn to seperate church and state, when religion has control over societiy incidents like the one in this video are inevitable. You see muslims think that people in the west dont understand but we do, we have been there, we used to live our lives by the instruction of a holy book and it lead to the inquisition and the subdugation of women. This is where islam is today.

[scalchas]

@greeny202a illiteracy in the Islamic world is high but in the Arab world it’s decreasing rapidly. However in some countries like Yemen it’s very high but as I look at individual Arabic countries, the picture is different. As for Islam as a total system, It presents itself as such but I believe Muslims are in dire need for religious reformation that fundamentally update the interpretation of the doctrine with the modern world.

[scalchas]

@greeny202a I appreciate your civility in this dialogue, totally different from the hate and sordidness I witness in the west against Islam and Muslims which doesn't serve any purpose except inviting anger even among Muslims. There are people in the West who are spewing this hate for the sole purpose of soliciting angry reaction from Muslims. Some stupid Arabs and Muslims fall in the trap and become angry. Dialogue is the only way to solve the issue of extremism. Fair?

[greeny202a]

@scalchas Yes i too think that civil dialogue is the only way to solve the issue of extremism on both our sides. Education is also the key for east and west. Thanks.

[willwong1234]

These honour killings should be renamed as:

1) senseless killings out of insecurity of men's power and control, or

2) psychotic murderers on a killing spree just to satisfy their urge to pull strings on women

Wake up, where is the mercy in your God if you believe there is actually an almighty one!

[Bumblybee256]

I'm sorry but there's no way you can discover if a girl is a virgin from examination ANYWAY

[simon0802]

The people commenting here keeping linking this barbaric act to Islam. First of all this more to do with pre-Islamic culture and not Islam. It says in the Quran: "you take one life it as if you killed humanity"; "the birth of a daughter is a blessing"; " A man will be judged on a how a good father he was; the daughter will testify on the Day of Judgement ". Also the girl who was killed WAS A YAZIDI KURD. ALL MID-EASTERNERS AREN'T ARAB/MUSLIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[proudfemale]

@simon0802 thereis NO PENALTY in shariah for killing off spring

to say honour killings have nothing to do with islam is DISHONEST

there are some 5000 muslim females MURDERED by muslim male relatives each year....and these VICTIMS are also those denied right to choose whether to even be muslim or not re islam DENIAL OF HUMAN RIGHTS and its penalty of MURDER for non belief/leaving

theyre murdered for things like 'not obeying/not covering/dating'...all islamic FETISHES

[shomzabe]

@proudfemale

The onus is on you to point out a sura, a verse, or a hadith where honor killing is sanctioned ! Honor killing is a terrible Mediterranean custom that dates back thousands of years. The roots are purely cultural and one can find it practiced among Greeks, Southern Italians, Spanish, Turks, North Africans, Arabs, Kurds, Persians, Pakistanis, Afghanis, and Indians among others. The custom should be uprooted regardless where it's found rather use it to bash Islam and Muslims.

[proudfemale]

@shomzabe purleeze...not all the filth re islam is in koran, e.g. MURDER for apostacy, but is islamic

over 90% of all honour murders are to muslim girls...and the REASONS the murderers do so are always the same, e.g. she 'didnt cover hair' 'didnt obey/respect me' 'dated' or wasnt 'islamic enough'

whats more these VICTIMS are also denied right (by islam) as to choose whether to be muslim or not...let alone leave the cult openly,safely,freely

islam CAUSES these murders

[proudfemale]

@shomzabe re your claim, explain WHY the prevalence amongst muslims...when islam gives males rights to beat females, AND demands females must obey/.subjugate to males or be punished?

and WHY in muslim countries its not considered as a crime...surely you would know WHY Jordan has recently declined to give these MURDERS appropriate penalty and muslims who do kill are praised by many...and the VICTIMS BLAMED by muslims - yep, blamed with phrases like 'she should have obeyed' etc

[shomzabe]

@proudfemale

The question was on citing sources in Islam or Islamic law that sanction honor killing and you couldn’t cite even one. Clearly, you’re an Islamophobe. If you keep insisting on blaming Islam for honor killing then you need to explain why Christian Arabs, non Arab Christians practice it, and why Muslim countries like Indonesia and Malaysia don’t. You’re inability to see the cultural roots and the wider picture of this evil custom is a reflection on you, not Islam

[shomzabe]

@proudfemale

The question on Jordan has nothing to do with Islam. This is a legal not a religious issue. Jordan doesn’t live under Islamic law. It has an established law derived from its constitution. The leniency in Jordan law regarding honor killing is shameful, misogynistic, and reprehensible and I do consider it a violation of fundamental human rights. It needs to be changed. You need to educate yourself more on the issue.

[alps112001]

why not talking of a man to another man or woman is a matter of honour? It has nothing to do with honour. Shame on such a religion and such a culture. Brain washed ppl. How can u hurt another human being for whatever stupid religious belief u have. Shame on these ppl, laws must deal with them harshly. Thank God we live in the west.

[mahvash123]

Are you guys deaf or what!? Didn't you hear that Doa was a non-muslim and belonged to a non-muslim tribe? so honour killing happens everywhere and in every culture!

[fieryheadedgirl]

Not every culture. Differing religions, but honour killings do not happen in the West. And they most certainly don't happen according to the Christian faith.

[Msmissypooo]

@fieryheadedgirl.. yeah honor killings are not frequent in the west.. just the killings on the nightly news each day... wont see that in the muslim world.. so you pick. daily deaths or infrequenty killings that are against those who know what the punishment is for there actions.. whos to judge... keep it shut.. west is far worse wake up.........

[IslamistTube]

GROWING NUMEBR OF WOMEN BEING KILLED IN THE NAME OF HONOR! ? More like in he name of ISLAM !

[stevedensmore]

This has everything to do with Islam. The reason the families feel shame is because it is a huge sin for girls to talk to the opposite sex unless they're family or married to that man. Islam is a sick religion. Mohammed was a false prophet who rewrote the Bible to his liking. He was a pedophile, a sinner, a murderer and a hypocrite. These people are brainwashed and need to quit living in the stone age..

[12345678907079]

@stevedensmore no, they are right. Islam is the only religion which covers social issues. if you sin you should pay the price for it otherwise it is not reasonable.

[Chattanoogaben]

Who would want to be a pert of any religion that murders their own blood??? AMAZING!!!! sick people killing people in love.

[jaminbjamin]

It is BIG SHAME FOR THE WHOLE HUMANITY IN THE NAME OF RELIGION......................­.......ACCEPT THE TRUTH AND let all the of this religion people should come and say the truth and it is shame

[Lally162]

Do NOT travel to an Arab country especially if you are a woman.

[bobfryfish]

Horrible, what type of shit is this? I will NEVER go to arab countries.

[TheDreamPeace]

bob,Arab countries arent inviting u anyway.And moreover this has nothing to do with Islam or Arabs.Islam has given a very high status to women like no other religion.And women have high respect in the Arabland.Honour killing is a tribal custom and such things exist everywhere in the worls.Go to an Arab coutry & u'll see that the women there are living a more respectful,dignified & safer life than any other corner of the world.

[mrmontyy]

the only law women understand is the law of the rod or whip

[hemsyyy]

your a bastard, you should be killed the same way...let me ask you? if you think so, then why is it that muslim women still furnicate you bastard

[DIVDRIAN]

Through that "hole" the male barbarins of this religion came from and as they continue to butcher the women,they will continue to be primitive for another 1400 years. They can excuse the atrocities ,like all atrocities, by saying it is rather culture,not religion. keep on saying for another 1400 years. We have left the moon,and our next voyage is to planet Mars. Bye ,Bye Islam

[nsiah7]

You don't know what you talking about? When did your ancestors gave freedom to woman. Prostitution and exploitation is the order of the day in your side of the world. Don't people go out to kill prostitute, their wives and at times girl friends. Read statistics on women killing in your society. Don't be fooled and be academic. Every culture has abhorring practices and religion should not be blamed

[EBKCuz]

@nsiah7

lol that happens everywhere but u pay the penalty when u kill anybody in my society. When u kill a prostitude or any women, u get as much time in prison as u murder anybody. Murder is murder in my society. That is where the society differ, I'm sure u dont get but what like 6 months for honor killings. Oh I want to marry that girl but I can only afford to take care of two wives not three. Wait a min, let me accuse one of my wives that she is cheating on me so I can kill her. Barbaric!

[BOLSHEVIXTREME]

killing is murder

there is no honour in murder!

[garybsg]

Now, now let's not judge too quickly every culture is good in its own way. Multiculturism and diversity tolerance is important.

[Pripevochka77]

oh yess, let's give them what they want. they want to kill-let them kill. but not us....:)))))

[HebaHosni]

that's horrible horrible

[shawwwn]

These are not muslim men doing the killing, didn't they say that she was killed for having a MUSLIM boyfriend & considering converting TO Islam which here relatives disliked the idea of?

[Pripevochka77]

there is no love in islam-only fucking and killing, and delivering dumb babies...let those men kill themselfs(who did that crime)

[atheismeeu]

Of course honour killing is islamic, that's precisely why it lasts and why it's not or very mildly punished in islamic countries. In islamic countries honour killings are condoned.

Only since people in the west get outraged because of this system muslims suddenly start saying it's not islamic, but if there was no pressure from the west nobody in islamic countries would think a thing about it.

What's the big deal in acknowledging that islamic culture is extremely womanunfriendly?

[Decomposingcomposer]

Hey mister policeman we found this girl. May we stone her?

What did she do?

She fell in love with a boy we don't like.

oh, ok then go ahead.

If this wasn't so fucking brutal and cruel (and sadly very real) this would be pure monty python.

What a fucked up culture.

[1nbuchanan]

Poor girl I hope the angels took you to a loving place and all those evil people go to hell for what they did. No woman is safe from all this quaran shit. Stop covering your faces girls and be proud to be a woman, the men should cover their faces in shame!

[AnInvitationToTheTru]

there is no honor killing Islam, the guy is wrong

[sam491442]

i would like to point out that islam is against honour killings because they are considered murders and by islamic law, the men who killed this poor girl should be given the death penilty. And islam didnt say that women should be controlled by thier male reletives. If you actually read the Quran it says that man and women are equal. HONOUR KILLING IS A CULTURAL THING THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION.

[lambuponthethrone]

No woman was safe from mohammed. How can any woman even think she can be safe from her muslim parents,brothers,cousins,uncle­s,friends????? I think the only reason god is not punishing the muslim men is becos he can't think of a punishment  violent enough for what they are doing.

[subtitles2k]

That guy scares me as f**k!!!

I know he's trying to speak good and not to make mistakes but still... scary voice... sounds evil....

Girls, stop thinking about cock all the time, and then honour killings will stop. Sex is not everything. Think about it.

Dont be shocked by this violence. Violence has and always will be a part of reality. The girl was lucky she wasnt killed in a worser way.

Fuck Freemasons, who use one of their weapons (the media) to corrupt the minds of males (alcohol, drugs, etc), and females (dressing like whores, being lustful, etc).

Fuck media!

[Elsa1010]

Listen you muslim fundementalist, in the west we fight for something called freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Maybe men should stop thinking about pussy all the time. Stop blaming women but let everyone take blame for what they do. The media does not corrupt, the media offers many perspectives, then it is up to the individual's choice to choose as they want or to choose whatever they think is right.

[sandyladee]

I agree with you BUT the media does corrupt.

[Elsa1010]

It's something called freedom of expression or opinion. People are responsible for choosing the things they believe to be right. The media is not there to be believed, obviously its biased, however it is up to the individual to maker her or his choice and to look at many opinions in order to come to a conclusion

[tombanks118]

this is what islam is about!! murder!!!

[jsilverwolf]

If you watch the interview.. the girl was not muslim.. pay attention to the details before you state mistruths

[reodynamik]

the guy in this video is absolutely, irrevocably, remorselessly disgusting! do people REALLY think like that in this world!!?? that is pathetic and sad. women are NOT property of men. all humans are equal. DEAL with it!

[paradais2]

@reodynamik He appears to be condoning the culture or practice of honour killings, but he is an anthropologist & maybe he felt he just had to describe the culture & how it had originated. He wasn't really asked outright to give his opinion on whether he thought it was an acceptable practice or not altho he didn't appear to be horrified by the history of misogyny at all. Should have been female anthropologist from another ethnic background apart from Muslim. I agree though he was creepy.

[mangostar280]

@reodynamik If you're talking about the guy on the couch, I'm pretty sure those are not his personal beliefs and he's just relaying the supposed mentality of the situation.

[boi187]

@reodynamik The sad fact is that no we are not all equal, not even close! Even in the West (UK, USA, etc) just take a look at men’s and women’s pay who do exactly the same jobs, the men get paid a great deal more to do exactly the same thing...

[IDF21]

typical muslim practice and the fact that aljazzeera is owned by qutar that practices honor killings maybe not all people but the rest don't protest. and the fact they say everything about kurd honor killing while they dont mention Saudi Arabia, iran and other Muslim countries because aljazeera hate the Kurds even though the the killing by the Kurdish man was barbaric wnd who know maybe they weren't Kurdish or the girl herself. Aljazeera is propaganda news organization.

[Sulculac]

Acutally, honor killings aren't that prevalent in the gulf region as they are in, say "not well off countries/nations".

honor killings committed by kurds are more than those committed by Arabs in Qatar and Saudi Arabia combined.

[Killa8]

Jesus!

[piquonian]

It is incredible that we can send men to the moon and still be stoning young girls at the same time. You have a population of men who value their livestock more than their daughters and sisters. They condemn the actions of the women then they go look at porn on the internet. Hypocrits!!! I hope the day soon comes that the women are able to rise up and step on you like the cowardly little mites that you are!

[therubicon]

The respect you think you have is only in your mind, I don't respect you I think you are a harsh judgmental petty person who thinks that you are in the place of God to call people you don't know Sluts and porkers. A pig would be a better friend than you, and it's an unclean animal, View yourself as harshly as you dare view others

[amymint5]

[chrisrushlau]

Ensureqwerty:

The Qor'anic section says that the woman can contest the case with four swearers of her own. Now with a standoff, you have other protocols to follow. The gist of the section: Mohammed seems to be making it impossible to enforce his own law.

Islamic anti-feminism is non-Qor'anic. Some regime finds some Islamic scholar to sign off on some rule that wears religious dress but serves secular purposes.

[Ensureqwerty]

Muslims kill over 5000 women and girls every year in honour killings, here is why: Quran 4:15 "If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four (reliable)" witness from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to blouses until death do claim them. Quran 24:2 "The women and the man guilty of fornication, flog them with a hundred tripes: let no compasion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by God, if ye believe in god and the last day."

sigh...why does this have to be about religion??? we should be more concerned about the victims...think about it..i would not want to be killed just for liking someone...you as the reader would not like it either so as for those who think that it won't happen in thier life...it WILL affect u in one way or another if its not stopped..."stop the crimes against women!!!"

I also hate the fact that innocent Iraqis are being murdered in the name of 9-11 who had nothing to do with it. The REPUBLICAN voters that I've debated broad brushes all cultures, peoples, Arabs, and Muslims the same. I DO NOT. I respect all people regardless of religion, race, culture, or nationality. But those bastards who attacked us on 9-11 are like the religious radicals that kill these young women. STOP HONOUR KILLINGS!!!!!

[dicksondavid]

I'm a Black American male. I could not allow this girl to be attacked. I would murder them in order to save her life. My Black girlfriend looks like the victom because she's half Native American. I live in Northern Virginia. There are lots of different cultures here. We noticed that men look at her with an intense hatred. I started towards him to give him a chance to act on his feelings, but he quickly walked away like a coward.

[GeneNowok]

It's all because of psychopaths. Although not all psychopaths r honor killers, all honor killers r psychopaths.

[bellezabeso]

ok people wat u all need 2 get is dat if some careless bunch of muslim men kill a woman brutally dus dat mean dat every muslim duz dat en dat it is written in the quran 2 do that. noooooo people! if say a white man rapes a 12 year old girl and it is in da newspapers, dus every1 say dat all white men do that, they dont rite so y is dat then only 4 muslims. im a muslim girl and i get treated very well wid ma family. so get dat in ur head stupid ppl

[kimpiharju]

makes me wonder how people are so into there religion and country but so many of them leave there country to live somewhere else.,,hate the fact these kind of jerks are being let into my home soil. honour your family and live in ya own country

[tnrc75]

What do you mean, "these cultures?" Please define which cultures you mean do not condemn, or at least do not look badly on honor killing.

[Johammonia]

"Honor killing" kills women on behalf of "honor", but by this it really kills the honor not only of the killers but of the non-objectors as well.

"Honor" killing is an element of a dishonorable "culture".

[tnrc75]

You're right, it does reflect badly on those who intervene directly, but the numbers of people engaged in these acts, relative to the number of people in the country (in Iraq, a couple hundred, or something, out of 25 million) is pretty small.

[tnrc75]

No, it's not that libs have moved left, it's that Republicans have moved right. Nixon proposed the idea of affirmative action and the EPA. Think many repubs will do that today?

[ellison8]

"Just to think that liberals support countries who act this way."

Want the USA still under the British Empire? Washington, Jefferson et. al. WERE liberals. That makes the statement ignorant. CONSERVATIVE action is what HONOR KILLINGS ARE. Don't mention God like He agrees with PARROTING MINDLESS MORONS. Read a book or something before you die. Quit listing to Rush and O'Reilly.

[brick4sale]

Honor killings happen in many different religions Sikhs have done it.

[phatsam199]

actually, all religion should be banned. religion should not be an excuse for people's actions. you take a life, your life should be taken. i know all the liberals think people can be rehabilitated, but killing for honor, is not rehabilitable...! (is that a word)

[phatsam199]

you sick ass fools...! how can anyone say that any organized religion can condone this madness...! i dont care where the hell you're from, what nationality you are, if a parent can do this to their child is SHOULD DIE...!

[ajwolfgang]

i think they should put the faces of the men who did this on the cover of TIME magazine, and shame them for the rest of their lives.

No one wants their daughter screwing around with the unemployed, druggie boy--espeCIALLy without birth control. However, to KILL her? Look people. MOST of the world, it seems, is here, beCAUSE of that rebellious daughter in a family. HOPEFULLY, though, you give your little girl the RIGHT love, so she doesn't seek love wrongly.

[gusanastro]

Just to think that liberals support countries who act this way. Thank God for conservative principles that support freedom for all nations.

Muslims are zombies? Ah ha. Yeah, coz there's no history of Republican men going on the down-low for homoerotic experiences, right Larry Craig, Sen. Vitter, Bob Allen? Behaving sexually inappropriately-Norm Coleman's father, just about everyone associated with John McCain and Giuliani's campaign? Ah yes, family values indeed.

if I remember well the poor soul was Christian and fell in love with a Arab Muslim boy

[aakm1]

She was 'Yezidi', not christian or muslim.

[hotdoc007]

according to rivanm (user name):

Kurds are majority Sunni Muslim with a minority of Shia's, Christians, yezidis, and jews.

The video makes it sound like the girl got killed by non-muslim (i.e. the boy she loved was "arab muslim"), but I just learned Kurds are also muslims.

[werechick]

You just said yourself that Kurds are mostly (but not all) Muslim. Considering the context, a logical person would think the girl was yeidi, christian or jew. Otherwise, "converting to Islam" would be no more possible than the pope converting to become a catholic.

You have the right to life

You have the right to property

You have the right to freedom

How far are these uncivilized beasts from the negative law principles stated above ? But worst then them are the governments who do not punish suck people. Not even the barbarians were so cruel.

[tnrc75]

Are you saying all people in the countries where honor killings happen are beasts?  If so, c'mon, let's not stereotype.

[kentusmaximus]

This is truely despicable. I hope the perpertrators and those who stood by suffer a similar fate. It's always the bloody woman who have to be punished...what about the man she fell in love with?

[cpricejones]

if the man is at fault for "letting" the woman dishonor her family, then why isn't the guy she fell in love with to blame?

[jumpandprance]

Insanity. World wide insanity.
