Hearing that just angers me, how can people be so barbaric?!?!

[friltsar]

We must never forget that individual rights must trump group rights, every time. This notion that we must respect the rights of Islam by not giving a damn about the rights of the individual women within it is abhorrent. The rights of people matter more than the rights of a religion. Period. Always, unwaveringly, every time. If you love humanity, you must speak out against religion, and currently Islam is the worst example of it.

@replicantplanet look man this has nothing to do with that they were Yezidis get your facts straight

[bapina2k]

Women are treqted equally. Allah has said so in Quran. some of them have started saying that Science is there in quran. Obviously cause people want to burn that devil's book that was written by/for tribal people. They say Allah created women and Acid. Allah+Woman+Acid is science. Tribal religion for tribal people. Our Muslims sisters are safe in Heaven near Allah. Come and convert to Islam.

you see, there you go, talking like the Quran is some sort of authority. People and especially muslims need to understand that it's simply just a steaming great pile of shite.

[ImThinkingShhhh]

In Islam if you kill one person it's lime killing the whole human population , Islam does not support these types of killings don't listen to the lie that the media feed you I mean come on how many priests are pedo's you see it on the news all the time

[aishanak]

I swear Dua'a was a Yezedi. Hinour killings are a cultural practice Islam attempted to wipe out. So get yer facts straight mate! :)

[siddqqeeutube]

the girl is a yezidi kurdish sect ,non muslim,who loved a muslim sunni boy..NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM...ITS THEIR CULTURE ( HONOUR KILLING)..

[replicantplanet]

This is why God turns his back on Islam! He would never want any human to suffer in this way and it's funny how it's men who carry out these crimes....

In my news papers there are no daily reports of rapes, murders etc., but I live in a civilised country. There are daily reports though of the terrible results of shriah law: discriminating of women, homosexuals etc., cutting of hands and other mediaeval punishments, death penalties of innocent people, etc. And of course all those terrorists who act in the name of someone called allah, and who originate from countries where they have shriah law. Do you still want to defend that awful law system??

[dhadikede]

the statistics are there in your daily news papers..news papers everyday report of hundreds of rape cases, murder cases, theft, child abuse, sexual abuse..If shriah law is to be practised, all these horrible acts will come to an end.
