The girl who was stoned to death for falling in love

"A teenage girl lies dead on the ground in a pool of her own blood.


Her once groomed hair is cast across her face like a rag doll's, her skirt pulled up to complete her humiliation.

In another image, she is seen lying on her side, her face battered and bloodied, barely recognisable.

The concrete block used to smash in her face lies next to her.

Du'a Khalil Aswad was beaten, kicked and stoned for 30 minutes at the hands of a lynch mob before one of her attackers launched a carefully aimed fatal blow."

Posting on the spirituality forum because it's a religion motivated crime.

Discuss..

Maybe you don't realize it, but you are favoring God. Religion and God are not the same. You're exposing religion but blaming God. Jesus, who was anti-religion, has become the cornerstone for most religions. Religion put Jesus to the cross. Since religion is led by Satan, I don't blame God for those killings. What about the Catholic priests with the little boys? Are they men of God? :hippy:

If you're from Portugal you were probably raised catholic but I'm just guessing. :jointsmile:

Hmmm. o.O I might have missed it, but I didn't see Darth blaming God. Actually (don't mean to be presumptuous here, I'm going off previous posts) I don't think he even believes in God. He clearly said it's a "religion motivated crime", not "God related crime".

as an atheist i believe that religion created god, so you'd be right. religious folk who believe that god created religion might see this as the work of god and therefore it's god's fault that such atrocities happen. then there are those who believe in god apart from religion, they just might be split on the motivation.

any way you look at it, it's just another example of the damage that is done every day in the name of fanaticism.

This will piss people off i'm sure but this had nothing to do with god and maybe some religion but more to do with law..not that it's right but it happens...in some countrys you if you steal you loose a hand...in others you got to jail.. is either fair???..one thing in common is that where ever we live we know the laws(rules)and we know the possible punishment...she knew she was breaking the rules when she did it..(how many times was she warned by her family we don't know) so before ya'll get goin god and religion is a excuse that uneducated and down right moronic people use to justify stupidity..

Bullshit....the laws are there because of the religion. It's called Islamic Law.

aren't they both the same thing? politics, religion, law, social constraints; they're all basically the same power plays, each with just a slightly different angle.

I'm not blaming anything, just exposing the story. From your words I deduct you don't follow any of the major religions, which would be what I would do if I believed in a creator. The religions we see today, they were made by us. Man made God up, not the other way around.

But that's offtopic, at least on this thread :)

Yes, I was raised a catholic but I've been an atheist since I was about 12. And as you will probably guess correctly, the only reason I was a catholic was because my parents also were catholics. Gladly I started using my brain from quite an early age (no offense to any catholic/christian that reads this).

I really wish we lived in a logical world. I'm just glad I live on this side of the world. Fuck tradition, an evolving and sensible society is the only way for mankind to continue to strive.
