Seriously, what kind of climate has to exist in a place for this to happen and be considered normal and 'honorable' ? Boggles my mind.

what i find interesting is, not all, but it APPEARS (not saying it is because i dont have any real fact to base it on) that the general populace of most muslim countries are very uneducated. again this is an opinion based on what ive seen and read. not saying that it is or isnt true but that is just the way it appears.

If this is the same as the thread posted last week (why this merits two threads I don't know), then yes it was in Iraq, but no she is not Muslim, nor were the family members who initiated the stoning.

I think personally it has more to do with the fact that they're more religious than most of us and follow texts from the koran or ancient laws strictly rather than using a freedom of thought.

How can you be surprised by this kind of punishment?


It's normal in that area

freedom of thought usually only comes with people who are at the very least educated to a shitty US high school level. as i said USUALLY because there are some that need no formal education to be able to challenge the status quo.

leb: i didnt see the thread from last week so i have no clue. at least i dont remember seeing it. lol

edit//im not saying that i am "well educated" myself, but im not oblivious to the social climate of today.

The same climate that has existed around the world (and in that are in particular) for thousands of years? You seem to be under the impression that this type of behavior hasn't been around until recently. In fact, the only 'new' thing is the news coverage it's getting. This sort of punishment is wrong for obvious reasons, but it has existed in most of the world for ages. Only recently have we come to view it as wrong. So don't be surprised, and don't get all fatalistic and gloomy, this is how the human race has operated for millenia.

I knew that these (and worse) things have existed but especially seeing it like this on video strikes a nerve. When I saw it, I was disturbed enough to make this thread. I'm not surprised really (albeit it may sound like it in my first post), just pissed & baffled everytime I see anything like this.
