So, the 17 year old Iraqi Yazidi girl runs off and marries a Sunni and converts, so her relatives drag her back, throw her to the ground, naked, and gleefully throw huge rocks at her and laugh and converse, and kick her in the guts, until she dies, after pleading, begging, moaning in pain for a long time. Gruesome.
So, her new Sunni relatives go to the police, and nothing is done, in fact in cell phone videos police can be seen standing blithely by while this "honor killing" goes forward. No charges are filed. No investigation is done. The Sunnis find a bus full of Yazidis and pull them off and execute 21 of them. Now, the story seems more complete...The moral of the story is that wrong is wrong. Perhaps in the context of that Yazidi tribe, those men could've gotten away with murder, afterall it was "just" a woman, but wrong is wrong, when the context becomes larger, there is no excuse.

This is why radical fundamentalism always seeks the dark shadows, why it fears the openness of the West.
Wrong, is wrong.

People can be directed only so far - they have to want to have democracy. I'm not saying that "people like that" will never understand democracy - the Athenians invented democracy and they stoned women too. People were lynched for being black in the US a mere 50 years ago. I think the main problem is that the Iraqi people were shown a cardboard cutout of democracy just after the invasion, and then saw it being torn to shreds as the insurgency got stronger and stronger. Democracy brought them their current situation, so they are mistrustful of it. Democracy only works with the co-operation of the people, if they are too unruly then it simply won't work. Iraq will probably be in civil war for many years, then have a very strong dictatorship government to bring peace, and only then will this eventually be overturned by a democratic movement.

No way to justify this horrible act. You coudm't do this to a hamster in a civilised country. There are many, many things wrong in the G-9....thank goodness this is not one of them, simply a savage and barbaric act.

Hard to believe that the Quran justifies this in any way, shape, or form. There's understanding, and there's disbelief. The two are not exclusive.

If reading the Quran makes this an acceptable action, then its clear that the Quran is pure evil.

You say that "wrong is wrong." On what basis to you establish "wrong?" What basis did they use to establish wrong vs. right?
It seems wrong to you because of the standards you follow, but to these people, what they have done is by the standard they follow.

You are taking this out of context. You must read and memorize the quran before you are in any position to judge.
And, spiritually, aren't we all in some way naked from the waist down?
