World Iraqi teenagers stoned to death for "emo" haircuts

[The Helper]

At least 90 Iraqi teenagers with "emo" appearances have been stoned to death by religious extremists in Baghdad in the past month after an inflammatory interior ministry statement dubbed it "devil worshiping", activists said.

Iraq's Moral Police released a chilling statement on the interior ministry's website condemning the "emo phenomenon" among Iraqi youth, disturbingly declaring its intent to "eliminate" the trend.

"The 'Emo phenomenon' or devil worshiping is being followed by the Moral Police who have the approval to eliminate [the phenomenon] as soon as possible since it's detrimentally affecting the society and becoming a danger," the statement read.

"They wear strange, tight clothes that have pictures on them such as skulls and use stationary that are shaped as skulls. They also wear rings on their noses and tongues, and do other strange activities," it continued.

This is absolutely "disgusting and inhumane" Nothing more to say really.

 

[DDRtists]

It's all about the tight pants.
Glad I don't live in Iraqi, damn...

 

[Fatmankev]

Yeah, that's some way fucked up shit. Can't they just shave their heads and force them to change or something if they're gonna be so extreme? How fuckin' brainwashed would you have to be in order to justify murdering children in cold blood? That's some real shit.

 

[Varine]

Meh... not that out of the ordinary there.

 

[eellem1]

WOW, that is crazy!! Talk about stereotyping.

Described as both a cult and sect, it’s name derives from the word ‘emotional’

Its teen followers dress in black, favouring tight jeans, T-shirts, studded belts and sneakers or skater shoes.

Hair is often dyed black and straightened, and worn in a long fringe brushed to one side of the face.

Music also plays a critical role, Emos like guitar-based rock with emotional lyrics – bands such as My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World, and Dashboard Confessional are particular favourites.

They regard themselves as a cool, young sub-set of the Goths.

With the trend comes accusations of self-harming and suicide – something its followers strongly deny.

Anyways: Just because people have long or spiky hair doesn't make them "devil worshippers" or even emos for that matter.

Why are we even stereotyping in the first place? Wear what you like, fuck it.

this is pretty hard for me to believe, i dont think this is serious, it sounds too made up. Especially the quotes.
Why would they tell the public that they are killing their own children in a horrible way? It is too blatant.

It's real, and pretty serious by the looks of it.
"Why?" Because some people are still living in the stone age over there. And this moral crap are Just fucked up in the head! Simple as that.

[seph ir oth]

I think these cases of death will make the emos band together cuz that's some hardcore shit, getting stoned to death. I bet they think it's cool to go out that way.

Because you've been there and studied Middle Eastern ideologies and can verify that this is what happens? No, you can't do any of that.

Actually i dont think they are living in the stone ages, maybe this is what some pro western supporters are trying to convince us of but even people in the middle east got an idea about humanity, human rights and compassion.
You cannot simply throw all of them into a pot and say people from there are inhuman and dont value life.

I also believe that extreme islamists exist just like extreme christians do, and i can very well imagine that extreme islamists might participate in the slaughter of people with different believe, just like extreme christians do.
But i cannot imagine how they would do this in public, and be interviewed about this and telling everybody how they just killed A FRICKIN HUNDRED of their own children because of "their looks".

This story would be credible if, lets say, a single person, or maybe two, got attacked in an alley by extremists. There are crazy people out there.
But 90+ teenagers getting slaughtered inside the city or within range of a city? Do you really believe this?

I didn't said everyone, but this sick "Shia militants" dose living in the stone age.

Here's another news link on it

No I can't but other can do that @Varine

 

[Varine]

Then go that other one to do it because they'll at least know what they're talking about, and I assure you won't do it remotely the same manner as you. Whereas you call them sick, they call you inferior: this is the way it is there, and this is the way it's always been and probably will be for some time, because the ones that control that region don't want to change. Yes, it sucks from most people's views from more developed countries, but you know what? At one point we are at war with them to stop shit like this, and people like you freaked out about it. So what the hell do you want?

 

[FireCat]

So what the hell do you want?

They should stop this insanity ! If they can't do that then they are fucked in the **** No matter what!
Do you think it's okay to kill teenagers to death, Just because they wear Jeans and different haircuts ? Do you?
