Authorities in northern Iraq have arrested four people in connection with the "honor killing" last month of a Kurdish teen a startling, morbid pummeling caught on a mobile phone video camera and broadcast around the world.
The case portrays the tragedy and brutality of honor killings in the Muslim world. Honor killings take place when family members kill relatives, almost always female, because they feel the relatives' actions have shamed the family.
In this case, Dua Khalil, a 17-year-old Kurdish girl whose religion is Yazidi, was dragged into a crowd in a headlock with police looking on and kicked, beaten and stoned to death last month. Authorities believe she was killed for being seen with a Sunni Muslim man. She had not married him or converted, but her attackers believed she had. Two of the four arrested are members of the victim's family.
"Hmmm i say the all 4 people who are arrested should be touched and stoned to death what do you people think? or better yet nuke that area"
