For all of you people who didn't watch the video and decided to speak you minds: The VERY YOUNG 17 yr old girl was stoned because she loved someone who was in a different religion. She did not commit capital punish ment, rape anybody, shoot up a school, she simply and purely loved. How unfair of you to try and Justify me not turning away! please!

She was barely a woman... she was only 17! And she died because they didn't approve of the boy she fell in love with: he was from a different sect. There was no accusation of sex... just that she loved a sunni boy.
Really, this is not different from the Matthew Sheppherd case. he, too, was murdered because someone didn't approve of who he fell in love with.
This is why it is imparative that government and religion stay separate. Do you think this crime will be prosecuted?
Edit: barbie, I watched it too. That girl died a horrible, violent, evil death and the least I can do is not pretend it didn't happen. I also looked at the news pictures of the body of Emmett Till. His mother had to stand there and see the brutality some redneck a.h.'s perpetrated on that little boy with the twinkling eyes. This is what hatred brings. These are what intolerance brings. Sometime you have to look, just to be sure you won't forget. And I tell you, what they did to that child in Mississippi and that girl in Iraq are not things to be forgotten.

Although I'm usually the first one to say things against America and what Europeans have done historically to people of color, what Muslims are doing in third world countries when it comes to stoning is an abomination. I did not see the stoning thank god but I did read about another 25 year old women that got stoned to death for talking to a men that was not her husband. Her father helped build the thing she would be stoned in and when they asked her mother what she thought about her daughter being murdered she said "my daughter has committed adultery and is a trader against her country and Allah". Now that sounds crazy. I'm glad I don't live over there.

i just watched that, that's absolutely sick!
I don't agree with capital punishment in the US, but how can you people compare a bunch of people in a village taking matters into their own hands and murdering a girl because she fell in love; with the US legal system electrocuting or lethally injecting a murderer???? The US would never order someone the death penality for falling in love!

Things like that are why you never let a religion access the government. Once they gain power, they inevitably begin punishing and killing any who cross them.

Where was it from?
Unfortunately, the authors of the 10 commandments forgot the one about - "Never, Never, Never hit a women or a child"

Well it's the reason that an underage and single mother had to claim her child was an "immaculate conception" and "the son of god", in order to avoid such a gruesome end..!!
You know it makes sense..

Did America show Saddam's hanging. I know there's a film showing a live American execution by electric chair. Different method, same sentiment.

Cultures who place a high value on family "honor" instead of personal freedom.
