I was researching Israel on the net when one link took me to another and another etc. and unfortunately I came upon a horrifying article. I clicked on the associated video without thinking and what I saw can be described as the most EVIL I have ever seen in my life. Now, these images are haunting me daily and I wonder why I ever came upon this and clicked that video. It has just disturbed me greatly that human beings can be such heartless monsters.
This poor and helpless girl was humiliated and made to suffer in the most cruel way while a mob of 1000 men took joy in her extreme suffering.
When I was in Germany I visited Dachau and read the famous sign that said "Never again will we allow such a thing to happen" and here we are again.
I thought a lot about posting this here but then decided to post it anyway because I believe the truth must not be witheld. People should KNOW what kind of atrocities are going on in this world and committed in the name of religion, customs and "honor".
WARNING: VIDEOS THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE 'REFERENCES' ARE EXTREMELY GRAPHIC, VERY VERY DISTURBING and ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING. PLEASE DO NOT watch the videos or click on this article if you think you will not be able to handle it.
I won't watch it, I can't watch it. What was her crime? Showing an ankle? Not agreeing to an arranged marriage? Being raped? Or, god forbid....did she sleep with a guy before marriage?
The only reason that these types of things are being done without fear of UN sanctions is that they fall under the heading of 'god', and most specifically islam. If this video was done in a polish village filled with catholics....do you think it would receive the same tepid response? How about a small town in alabama with rock throwing baptists? No. It would not be tolerated on the world stage. But because this is islam -- you hear nothing. When you try to ask muslims about this, they fall back on 'hey, its cultural...besides, they (the victims) asked for it by breaking allahs law". I don't know what is more disgusting, the very act of this or the fact that the western world condones it by our silence.
Oh, and before someone tries to gloss over this with the standard 'oh yeah? You guys burned women as witches', that was in the dark ages....apparently a time modern islam continues to embrace.
Not in this case. The attackers were Yazidis, not Muslims. The Yazidi religion is an ancient one that predates Islam by thousands of years, and comes from Persian Iran, not the Arabian peninsula.
The girl in this case was killed for being romantically linked to a Muslim. The Yazidis believe that Muslims are trying to exterminate them through a program of ethnic cleansing or even genocide. This isn't an unfounded fear; 800 of them died in a single suicide bombing last year in Iraq.

This happened in Iraq. You want the UN to put sanctions on the US-funded government of Nouri al-Maliki? What good would that do, either for Iraq or for the US?

Then its cultural.....either way it is being tolerated if not encouraged in a theocracy and that is disgusting.

Well, it's in Iraq. This is the country George Bush implied would be a cakewalk to "democratize" and turn into a sterling little political success story. I wonder if he even knew the word "Yazidi" at the time he launched the invasion, to say nothing of his ability to judge the wisdom of other aspects of that operation.
i have no interest in seeing a video of someone suffering and being tortured, and will not participate in her further victimization.
Accusing the OP of victimizing the girl further? Ouch. Educating people about these things instead of hiding from the ugly truth is hard to classify as victimizing the girl.
If I were that girl, I would want the world to see what occurred there. It's hard for evil like that to stand scrutiny.
