Misogyny in the name of Allah

May 19, 2007 12:31

I just watched a video of a 17 yr old Iraqi girl getting stoned to death by a CROWD of men, a few including her family, with 3 police officers looking on and doing nothing about it.

What is most disturbing besides the waste of life of an innocent girl, and the nauseating misogyny of it, is that a crowd of men are so EAGER for violence against any girl/woman they can get their hands on, and none of them have the integrity to try and get others to stop. One of them dragged her into the crowd in a headlock. What on Earth was he thinking? Probably a family member, dragging his own sister or daughter, or whatever, into a crowd of depraved killers, and letting her go. What kind of human being is that?

It's a progressive thing; she doesn't die suddenly. She tries to get up, is knocked down with a bloody face, kicked in the face, etc. A few of them film it with their cell phone cameras. The draining of life, the spilled blood, the death and morbid destruction is nothing more than entertainment for them. Perhaps like a sport. I wonder what was happening in their minds, why their values are not life affirming but so full of hate. She won't wake up tomorrow or the next because MEN decided she wasn't worthy to wake up, her value that much denigrated.

Sigh.
