Morning Cup O' Joe

Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time.

This is Civilization?

I try not to judge other cultures, religions and practices, but this strikes me as horridly wrong.

From Boing-Boing:

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.

From the clips it appears that the girl was first stripped naked to symbolize that she had dishonored her family and her Yezidi religion. She is lying on the road naked while her smashed face is covered with blood and still breathing.

  1. Half of me says,

    “WTF is going on in this world”

    And the other half says,

    “This is how it is. Like you said Mike, Who are we to judge other cultures, religions & practices.”

    Despite all its flaws, I thank GOD that I live in the USA.
