This makes me sick.

Mosul, Iraq -- According to the Kurdish website Jebar.info up to 1000 men from the Yezidi Kurdish community of Mosul killed a teenager who's only crime was running away to marry a Muslim man whom she loved and converting to his religion.
For four months the girl had been given shelter by a local Muslim Sheik. It was reported that in the last few days her family persuaded her to return home, convincing her that she had been forgiven by her parents and relatives for her mistake.
In a short mobile video clip which appears to have been taken by locals at seen of the murder, the girl is seen being ambushed on her way home by a group of up to 1000 men who were waiting for her to return; the men killed her in the most brutal way possible, by throwing large stones on her head. The following clips show that while she is alive and crying for help she is taunted and kicked in her stomach until someone finishes her off by throwing a large stone on her face.
Do not click the video links if you don't want to see video footage. If you do watch the videos (which I recommend), then you'll need QuickTime or RealPlayer.

I've always appreciated you, BB, but that response disappoints me...
This is nothing but sad...

They have no time, they say, for that kind of thing.
They have enough to do in trying to faithfully practice what is beyond dispute."

I wonder if Nick M has any info on this. I believe he lives in Kurdistan
Yes.
Nick M, what "things" exactly are you "fixing" over there?

On our site there is some background as well on key differences between Christianity and Middle Eastern beliefs.
Amnesty International had been one of the most vocal defenders of women caught in these situations, but the Roman Catholic church has recently pulled all support from them.

What - exactly - is 'cool' about this BB?
Are you really so uncompassionate and sick that you find this kind of incident to merit praise?!
"BillyBob" is just a troll.

Most likely because of their support for decriminalizing abortion. See:
What I find most disturbing about this act is the fact that there are people in America who want this type of punishment here. People on this board advocate the quick, painful and public execution of people who break God's laws. Is this really what Jesus intended?

So I'm cheering for the heroics of these brave muslims.
That's a good point, but just saying "cool" is just stupid.
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

So what should happen to people who do this?
