Killed for wearing American jeans

There are mujrimeen among the Shia in Baghdad, and they kill in the name of Islam:

"Youngsters in Iraq are being stoned to death for having haircuts and wearing clothes that emulate the ‘emo’ style popular among western teenagers.

At least 14 youths have been killed in the capital Baghdad in the past three weeks in what appears to be a campaign by Shia militants.

Militants in Shia neighbourhoods, where the stonings have taken place, circulated lists yesterday naming more youths targeted to be killed if they do not change the way they dress.

Al-Bayaty said the killings appear to have been carried out by extremist Shia militias in mostly poor Shia neighborhoods and said she suspected 'there's complicity of the Ministry of Interior in the killings.'

Photos of the victims were released on Facebook, causing panic and fear among Iraqi students."

I understand now why so many people believe Iraqis lived better under Saddam.

I saw on Al Sharqiya TV that Syed al Sistani has issued a fatwa in response to this, forbidding the killing of emos.

Like they need a fatwa to stop them, but at least he took a strong position.

fake news, yawn

Mojo, at least the Najaf Marjeya, GoI and ISF are trying to stop it.

Mojo, under Saddam, the only ones you had to fear was the secret police. In today's semi-chaotic Iraq, there are all sorts of extremist militias and terriorist groups, both Shia and Sunni, to fear. I also can understand why plenty of Iraqis believe their lives were better under Saddam

Dolly said...

It probably wasn't better under Saddam, because the salaries woulda been very low. On the order of 9 euros a month during Saddam

Iraqi Mojo said...

anan, what are the GoI and ISF doing to stop it?

“It’s the miltias with the support of the Iraqi government,” he said. “The goverment has declared war on sexual minorities. It’s worse than [Saudi Arabia]. They are trying to rally the streets of Baghdad. Yesterday and the last six or seven days -- we have videos and films of those patrols -- with a megaphone they’re saying, 'If anyone who has any information about anyone who is a pervert, an infidel, part of the homosexual network, you have to declare it or you face consequences.' Anyone who harbors anyone who is, acording o them, an illegal citizen, will face consequences.”

Nouri al Maliki and his "State of Law" coalition is a joke.

Ugh, I can’t tell you how much these happenings in Iraq crush me, Mojo. What message does this send the human race? That we are not all fit for the fundamental dignity of democracy? Was I naïve for once harboring such egalitarian views? What message does this send to liberty lovers and those who could provide it around the world? I can’t believe this is the same Iraq who fought so gallantly, dying in the tens of thousands, to drive out terrorists from Basrah and Anbar and Baghdad, has only to revert to their behavior. They’ve let the entire planet down. They’ve taken an idealistic experiment in universal freedom and smashed it, turning what could have been the birth of a new age of political ideology and thought, where everyone’s interests and liberty could be tied together, and turned it into nothing but the corpse of a child’s fantasy. All I can do is pray somehow Iraq will somehow build up the will to not tolerate this absurdity and somehow use the power of the ballot or pen to put an end to this.

Iraqi Mojo said...

I am a good man you say, zainy? How so? Am I a good man only when I criticize America and Israel?

zainy said...

non of the above does because and thanks to the america.

the leader by using the ignorance of the people they rule, they threat shia.

they don't hate shia, they don't even know what are shia. but they just want to ruin this name because it is related with iran, the country that is threatening isreal.

i don't like iran because i am from their but l like it for its justice.

Iraqi Mojo said...

zainy, I said there are mujrimeen among the Shia. I did not say all Shia are mujrimeen.

You like Iran for its justice? It's seems that there is much injustice in Iran too.

The whole world is fighting Shia? Really? You mean the whole world would like to see the Ayatollahs who rule Iran fall from power?

Is your name really zainy?

Iraqi Mojo said...

zainy, why don't you like Al Sharqiya?

jnana's first comment was: "I saw on Al Sharqiya TV that Syed al Sistani has issued a fatwa in response to this, forbidding the killing of emos."

I comment Al Sharqiya for doing that, for reporting the good deed of Al Sistani.
