The Killing of Farkhunda (something to cheer everyone up)

This recently happened in Afghanistan. Muslim woman gets in a little argument with a muslim man, because she thinks he's being un-islamic for selling verses of the Quran on the street. He starts shouting out -- "This woman is an American and she has burned the Quran."

What happens next is beyond mental.

Hundreds of superstitious backward thinking savages turn up ("educated" students, shopkeepers, coppers (who do nothing) and whatnot). They not only torture her to death but drag her body through the streets - whilst naturally screaming "God Is Great" - stone her, run her over and then set her on fire. Poor funker is dressed in claret long before they finish her off.

Her parents, for their own safety, have to go on TV to say "She was mentally ill."

Allahu Akbar!!!

God Is Great!!!

Allahu Akbar!!!

"How could this happen to my son, he was such a good boy?"


....the dude that punched the woman so hard he hurt his hand? THAT "good" boy?!?!?! Fuckin hell.


How can a religion that SAYS it's peaceful, that SAYS it respects women, that SAYS it honors women, allow for this?


Christianity had it's problems, it's Inquisitions it's Witch Trials.....but those are things of long past not of the present!

It might be even better if children weren't forced to believe in supernatural nonsense.

Well if you are an atheist that is one way to go. I believe in God, my children if/when I have them will work out for themselves their beliefs.

That was a he'll of a mini documentary, well done. I've stated here I am a man of religion and love my faith, having said that if I see someone on the streets burning a bible, and I know this girl did no such thing, I may call them an idiot or something but that would be about it. I can always go out and buy another bible. The Taliban spent years getting Afghanistan to live in the 1200's.

That is great news now we need Bill Paxtom to let us know how nice he was as a child.

Yes, or maybe he can tell us how nice the mullahs in the region really are.

Or how the non-mullahs caused the problems which led to him being an evil killer.
