Death Porn
While we’re on the subject … twisted Islamic behavior* towards women … here’s what purports to be the uncensored vid of a 17-year-old girl being stoned to death for loving a boy.
I’ve always advocated that people should acquaint themselves with the horrors of life in this world. I’ve seen enough that I’m not sure I could give you a count, even though you never forget any of them, from family day at a Balkan mass grave, to weird accidents and third-world hospitals that smell of piss and entrails, to death playing out in slow motion 30 feet away in combat. You honor the dead by bearing respectful witness. You prepare yourself for what life might present. But I can’t bring myself to watch this one. Riehl, who brought my attention to it, had to turn away but describes some of what he saw. You can make your own decision about what you’re going to do. It’s your world. This is what is happening in it.
* Technically, maybe that should be “Islamic-inspired,” though the issue appears to be culturally and religiously muddied. Islamic “honor” killings and violent coersive, as readers note, remain a problem in Pakistan, Iran and other Islamic countries like … Britain.

I have seen this posted in several places. After reading the description, I just can’t bring myself to click on the link to the video.

You can watch the horror here.

I once forced myself to look at still photos and film of what the Nazis were capable of. Then I spent two years as a nurse in a war zone. Those are instances of the extraordinary.
I forced myself to learn about the atrocities perpetrated in the ordinary course of both Soviet and Communist Chinese life.
I forced myself to learn about the extraordinary barbarity of Pol Pot and his mass murderers.
When I first began to look into Islam, I innocently went to a site showing a streaming video of jihadis sawing off a young man’s head. I still struggle with that horror. Then I forced myself to read about the stoning, beheading, the hacking off of hands, the honor killings and raping, and all the rest of the barbarity that is the ordinary within much of the culture of the Middle East.
I’m educated enough about the certain horror that happens when reason and respect for the individual play no part in the affairs of men. I have no need to watch some poor child being stoned for the sin of wanting to love her life.

The video is of extremely poor quality, jerky and blurry. There’s a lot of yelling and praising God. Not much of the actual stoning is seen, until one big brave thoroughly Islamic man smashes a concrete block into the girl’s head, and then she’s shown lying face down while blood runs out of her head. I think she’s dead at that point, but the yelling and stoning goes on for some time.
I can’t describe what I feel for Islam and for Muslims who support this kind of thing. How brave are Muslim men who join a screaming mob to kill a little girl for the crime of being in love.
That’s it. I’m done with the internet for today, because I can’t stop crying.

For anyone who wonders why I watched, it’s because of the same feeling I had when I sat with my mother in her hospital room as she died, when no one else in the family would come in. A person’s death, especially one as horrific as that little girl’s, should be witnessed by at least one friend. I can’t explain it any better than that, and I don’t expect anyone else to understand.

God, but there are a lot of barbarians in the world.

RebeccaH, I do understand. I’ve sat and held the hand of many dying individuals, sometimes under terrible circumstances. I appreciate that you watched. I just can’t do it anymore when I’m not forced by circumstance to do so. There comes a point . . . . I’ve lost my courage, I guess.
Many pathologists, especially forensic pathologists, have much the same philosophy as you do about what they do. It all has to do with respect for life and justice for the individual.

“I can’t describe what I feel for Islam and for Muslims who support this kind of thing. How brave are Muslim men who join a screaming mob to kill a little girl for the crime of being in love.”
So you still didn’t get the fact that it’s the picture of non-Muslims killing a girl for dating a Muslim?

NN, you are correct. I’m so used to reading and seeing the same kind of atrocity committed by Muslims, my brain short-circuited. In my defense, the men were yelling “Allah”, and Yazidi culture is overwhelmingly influenced by Islam.

I find it strange that people who are doing the most godless things imaginable seem so often to yell out something about Allah while doing it.
It’s kind of like yelling “Chastity! Honor!” while raping someone.

“It’s kind of like yelling “Chastity! Honor!” while raping someone.”
Lack of chastity and honor by infidel women are often cited as proper motivation for gangs of muslim “youth” to indulge in serial gang rape. This is a growing problem in many european nations with populations of muslim immigrants.

I am a little late with this but I have been away. While I did watch the video I can’t seem to get my cynical self to buy into this video. At the begining it was jerky. I did not see any stones actually hitting this person ( I say that because I did not see a face at any time). I did see a cinder block on the persons body but it just appeared. I did not see it dropped or thrown. Plus, are these people so strange that it is okay to kill someone but it is not okay to see this persons legs. They kept fixing this person dress. Odd. I may be 100% wrong with my reasoning. But that little cynical devil inside me says this is a hoax.
