@Friendly Atheist, uh, it’s because they are not Muslim. (They are Yazidi).

“In the name of Jesus Christ we need to pray for these people that the God of all creation will open their eyes to the reality of the risen LORD. By His stripes we are healed.”

What the hell is the above supposed to mean? What psychotic drivel.
It’s the belief in “the god of all creation” that is causing these
problems that exist. The world would be better off without the above religious delusional thinking.

[...] story omitted any reference to “Islam” or “Muslim” when describing the horrific practice, using the euphemistic word “cultural” [...]

i have just watched this very sad end of a human life
it is a sad moment and one we must all help to stop ever happening again ever in a any part of the world
the people who were stood there watching must be brought to justice and executed
there is no honour in killing any body for this but the people around her dying body all of them must come to an end and face their deaths and we must enable that

I did watch the video, and i was deeply upset. I feel sorry for the girl to die like that. It’s time the west took a stand and gave zero tolerance. We have to show our might and if they think their strong, let them show it. It’s hard to stop the killing, the us needs to get actively involved , all muslim men age 12 and above have to be made slaves thats the only way. War is the solution , we get the terrorist and we terrorise the terrorrist.

I believe it is important to watch these terrible and stunning videos in order to realize what this kind of thing– this phrase, “honor killing,” actually means. It is important to watch in remembrance of this girl, and to face up to the incomprehensible way that she was treated by her fellow countrymen, and perhaps, even by her family. I want all of my United States Senators and Representatives to watch these videos; I want them to seriously consider, along with the rest of us in the public, what it means to be occupying a country where this happens– will we, and they, speak up? Will we stay silent? Will we, as occupiers speak out loudly about this? Will we stay and try to make a difference? Make things better? Make things worse? Can we continue to be proud that we removed a tyrant, but that we ignore the way that some people treat each other in the name of honor and tradition? If we are going to continue to stay there, then let’s make a difference for people like this girl who was martyred simply for being a female. If we (the United States) are going to quietly pretend not to see– refuse to watch the videos because they are graphic and disgusting, then there’s no more reason that I can think of to stay.

This is barbaric behaviour, cavemen would treat women better than this! If this was done in the name of religion, I am glad that I subscribe to none! I heard about this on the radio and the presenters were saying that they couldn’t watch all of it, so I decided to see for myself. They were telling the truth, as neither could I!

[...] There are atheists who think religious thinking warrants no respect whatsoever. In many cases, they are correct. But I do think you can respect certain aspects of various religions as well as many of the people who believe in religions. [...]

What bothers me the most is the patriarchial way in which a woman can’t have sexual experience (or happiness) outside of the male- enforced, god-and-government-sanctioned marriage bed.

This is why the secular women of Turkey are organizing huge protests and civil actions against the Islamist who is poised to take power there.

They are scared sh**less of the brainwashed masses (including plenty of religious women) and I don’t blame them one iota. It’s frightening, really.
