The moment a teenage girl was stoned to death for loving the wrong boy

[arwensun1965 0]

Sadly this not only happens in Iraq, there was a case of an honour killing in the UK a couple of years ago, it goes on everywhere, I think the girl's uncles were sent to prison, this is only one case there are others.

I love fluffy bunnies. yay!

I thought I opened a can of worms with my bashing of religion. Your post should make for some good

Not the most diplomatic of terminology...

There were several cases in Germany not long ago. The Turkish folks (some at least) still get off on this type of cowardly act. Fcuking monsters.

Including "my" Turkish folks.

One of the reasons D. and I decided for me to move here rather than him moving to Belgium were multiple death threats by my so called father.

Sad.

Someone remind me again: What are we over there fighting for exactly?

the right to stone teenage girls to death?

Under the new "regime" this is not allowed, or is it?

Further affirmation of the "Quagmire in Iraq", lost Americans and further lost respect for America. Bush and all of his cronies really suck!!!

We, as Americans, dropped the freakin ball on this one!!!! That would be Iraq....

How many decades will this continue?

ETA: Can on Country change another, in terms of culture? I think not. Evidence in hand.

Wow...just wow...but then again, what did you expect from people that base their entire life around religion...nothing wrong with religion, but you have to use some damned common sense when you apply it...stupid and pathetic...as far as the war in Iraq, I agree we should pull out and let them kill themselves, they eventually will do it...they have been fighting for years, and will continue to fight for years after we are gone.

Sorry William, this has nothing to do with Bush or the war. This stuff went on before the war and it will continue after we are gone. If you want to bash Bush fine, do it in another thread. This is about a culture and religion that allows this sort of thing. It happens all over the world, not just in Iraq. I even read a story about some Palistians in St. Louis a few years back that did this. Please keep some perspective.

Gary,

I disagree.

Aren't we supposed to be changing "hearts and minds"? Ridiculous, I know. But this is the reality of our Government.

This does include the core issue of this thread bro. It ain't gonna happen, as culture always rules.

Edit: for spelling...

No, we are not trying to "change the hearts and minds" I challenge you to show me where Bush ever said that was our goal. We are there to combat terrorism and Al Queda. They have their culture and it isn't up to us to try to change that. Your letting your hatred for Bush cloud your thoughts. Unless you want us to outlaw their religion and start a totalitarian police state this is not something we can change. They have to do that themselves.

[William33 110]

Allrighty then, the whole thing is fcucked.

I was hoping for better, but that ain't gonna happen.

What do we do now? I say withdraw. Why? In or out, we are targets. Out is less of a target.

Oh well, I could make the point that I would rather be a target there where we have heavily armed solders that are equipped to deal with such things rather than innocent women and children being the target in our own country, but I can see it's an argument that is lost on some here.

Peace William.
