Video Captures Stoning of Kurdish Teenage Girl
The video shows a 14-year-old girl being stoned to death by members of her own family! Her crime? She was in love with a Muslim boy.
NOTE: One of commenter’s pointed out correctly that the girl and her attackers WERE NOT MUSLIM they were from a minority Kurdish religious group called Yezidi.
Yes Snoop tends to bash Muslims, many times deservedly so, but this is not the case.
This was suppose to be an Honor killing? There is anything honorable about this?
From Bortz:
“Listen very carefully today. Let’s hear how loud the cries of outrage and condemnation are from the
Muslim community. Let’s all have another sip on our morning coffee while we wait for the Council on American-Islamic Relations to step forward and condemn this act of Islamic barbarism. Don’t wait too long. Your coffee will get cold.”
I know I know, if Bush did not invade Iraq……yada, yada.
Sphere: Related ContentMosul, Iraq — According to the Kurdish website Jebar.info up to 1000 men from the Yezidi Kurdish community of Mosul killed a teenager who’s only crime was running away to marry a Muslim man whom she loved and converting to his religion.
For four months the girl had been given shelter by a local Muslim Sheik. It was reported that in the last few days her family persuaded her to return home, convincing her that she had been forgiven by her parents and relatives for her mistake.
In a short mobile video clip which appears to have been taken by locals at seen of the murder, the girl is seen being ambushed on her way home by a group of up to 1000 men who were waiting for her to return; the men killed her in the most brutal way possible, by throwing large stones on her head. The following clips show that while she is alive and crying for help she is taunted and kicked in her stomach until someone finishes her off by throwing a large stone on her face.

Two things:
1) She (and her assailants) were not Muslims, they were Yezidi’s.
2) Muslims have already started speaking out. You can too:

Here is the thing - this kind of thing has been going on in that part of the world for 4000 years or more. Long before there was a USA (AND perhaps when then there no longer is one) there are going to people who believe that they should kill others, for all kinds of reasons. Is it appalling? Absolutely. But every day in the USA 4000 mothers kill their own children (with the help of medical professionals). So before we get too worked up over this horrible act, and say how backwards these people must be to do something like this, let’s pause to remember that our own culture may not use rocks, but we definitely believe its OK to kill ones own children for certain reasons.
