Vigilantes Kill 40 Women In Iraq's South

AP December 9, 2007 07:38 PM

Religious vigilantes have killed at least 40 women this year in the southern Iraqi city of Basra because of how they dressed, their mutilated bodies found with notes warning against "violating Islamic teachings," the police chief said Sunday.

Maj. Gen. Jalil Khalaf blamed sectarian groups that he said were trying to impose a strict interpretation of Islam. They dispatch patrols of motorbikes or unlicensed cars with tinted windows to accost women not wearing traditional dress and head scarves, he added.

*If this happened in the US people would be horrified & it would be on TV 24/7.

1. We have our own variation on another thread. "Girls" get raped & killed because they drink alcohol

not because the sadistic, criminal shits that rape and kill them are committing crimes.

It's the "girls" fault. Girls should not party, girls should only leave home with trusted escorts, etc. Sounds unbelievably similar, no?

3. Maybe it's time to start shooting back at Iraqi men with long beards?

Time to arm Iraqi women.
