umm last i checked the only people that have done this for the past 200 years are the muslims and associated cultures.

Originally posted by StanVoid 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.

We execute people in the US all the time. Just because you haven't seen a video, you aren't pissed/baffled by that?

We don't execute people for exogamy though. Though I am sure Texas would, if you'd let them.

It seems so alien that this sort of thing would be worthy of death to some people. I'm sure there's even instances in the Xtian bible of this sort of thing happening and similar consequence being exacted. Like Ian said though, people there take the religious word far more literally than those of western influence.

If you ask me, this is a perfect example of what it means to be devoutly religious. Take that as you will.

Yet another reason why I hate religion.

I believe religion & evolution divides the human race into two species: One that has evolved & progressed in opening up their minds; The other stuck back in early homo sapien development & their brains can not handle modern day information. Religion is anti-progression. Those that believe in creationism have weak undeveloped minds. Those races of people are degenerates in our evolving societies.

Fucked up they maimed her like that. Fucking maimers.

Woman are stoned to death all over the place every day. The difference is that this is American propaganda, because no one gives a shit about someone being stoned in Africa.

Thanks for the history lesson, but it doesn't nullify a reaction of someone belonging to a different culture that doesn't have this type of violence. I dunno about you, but when I see a beheading, stoning, slicing in half, etc., I'm surprised, shocked and disgusted because in the culture I grew up in it doesn't exist. I don't think to myself, "Well gee, I guess my ancestors did it back in the day, so I shouldn't act like I'm new to this." So what if this is how the human race has operated like this for millenia? I'm sure humans have all stuck fingers up their buttholes and then smelled their fingers for a million years too. It doesn't mean that we should get used to it if we develop a cultural norm dictating that it's wrong. Both scenarios make me feel gloomy.

i really dont see your point. the thread is about the girl in iraq, if a video was psoted about a girl in africa, the reactions would be the same. plus i dont think people are unaware of what happens in africa....

well maybe there are a couple of idiots, but most poeple do know and do care.
