I can't understand the intolerance there. Honor killings are barbaric. Would they do the same to a man if he had a relationship with a woman from another sect? Very very sad indeed.

Technically this isn't breaking news just because the Chicago Tribune can't keep up with current events. This happened almost a month ago. More people need to hear about this stuff when it happens, not after a cooldown period...

That doesn't reflect on you, Nesby, but the Chicago Tribune needs to pull their head out of their ass and actually pay attention to real news.

This is the perpetual problem with the American News Media. They only report on what they WANT to hear and what they THINK everyone else does. And they do it in a manner most beneficial to themselves.

I can't tell you how many times I got pissed about something I heard on the news while deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan just for the fact that I knew it was bulls**t. American News Sources are straight garbage...

That's why I choose PliME! Now with more real artificial flavorings!

A few heads whacked off and stuck on posts as well as some public drawing and quaterings for this type of behavior would likely prevent this from occurring as much. Just like the Imam's that are all for suicide bombings, as long as the bombings aren't carried out by Imam's. Stinking punk gang mentality, these scum deserve to die. They are a whole lotta badass when it's what, like 100 idiots vs 1 seventeen year old girl. I wonder how brave they'd be when they knew they were the ones about to die, they need time to understand it before it happens IMO. This was a 17 year old girl they did this to, even their own family member. How much worse can you get ? Man I HATE these type of animals.

I am positive these are the people God made napalm, ebola & the flesh eating staph for, Hopefully they can all be used at the same time. Because these Piles of SH** certainly deserve it.

yes, I have a anger management problem when I see this type of thing happen to someone who has committed NO crime.

Very bad scene. I have seen death, I won't watch a snuff video. These b@stards all should hang for murder...Wait, I changed my mind, they should have hot pokers in their eyes and asses.

You damn..."Human!"

I hear you. It's certainly not isolated to this part of the world either. I grew up in the UK and would hear constant examples of this type of intolerance from protestants and RCs. There were people being bashed over the head regularly for nothing there too. Sucks dunnit?

i need to word this carefully because i know if I don't i'll be perceived as a heartless person, and i'm pretty sure that's not true.

here goes.

more than anything I'm appalled by the unnecessary calls for torture among these comments and others (with the obvious exception of this brutal death). these people are still people, and though from our perspective their ideas about life and honor are completely incorrect and horrid (our = me too), these people think that what they are doing is right according to the environment in which they were raised and the ideas with which they have been indoctrinated. most people, I think, would hesitate to call child soldiers heartless; the same applies here with these people who were raised in a culture that fostered only one mode of thought.

it really makes you feel lucky to live in an environment where you are guaranteed the freedoms of belief and speech and, generally, information. in areas where such freedoms are not readily available, ignorance grows as people sequester themselves away from the outside world and exposure to new ideas. these people are responsible, but it is difficult to hate them so for their actions, which they thought were right, as much as the culture that fostered such attitudes in the first place. the ideas that spawned such violence - not the individual! - are more terrible. these are not animals - these are human beings trapped within ignorance who acted out of ignorance.

to reiterate, I do not think of myself as a heartless person whatsoever. it is terrible, what has happened to this person. the perpetrators must be punished (but not in a way to make the punisher seem like an animal, as well).

People never cease to disappoint me, they are so quick to follow whoever or whatever the popular belief system is that the inevitable result of this foolishness has been conflicts innumerable over nothing more then some greedy POS's vomited out propagandist BS. You ( & I of course ) would think that there would be at least the hint of individual rational thought there but it is unfortunately evident that even that is far too much to ask. It is a small number or people that function from a view that is based internally rather then that which is the norm externally.

Aoeu, that is a fine statement, but I have unfortunately grown tired of seeing these types of abuses. I will willingly admit that you are treading the high ground here. Howbeit if they are in love with such violence as this my feelings are let them eat it, one good persons influence has so much more of a over-all positive effect that to lose one to these barbarians who only breed their ignorance and hate is unacceptable to me.

Besides, if we all felt the same way it wouldn't be any fun anyway.

i have also grown tired of such ignorance and, for lack of a better word, evil. there must be a way to stop it (and i should hope without war).

I would too my friend, I would too. I am afraid though that many wars would have to be fought everywhere for anyone who has good intentions to be in charge anywhere however.

I don't see the 'honor' in it. The boy she loved was at least a Muslim. Humans stuck at the tribal level such as these are why we aren't evolving.

The Klingons would be proud of this....
