Violations of 'Islamic teachings' take deadly toll on Iraqi women

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The images in the Basra police file are nauseating: Page after page of women killed in brutal fashion -- some strangled to death, their faces disfigured; others beheaded. All bear signs of torture.

The women are killed, police say, because they failed to wear a headscarf or because they ignored other "rules" that secretive fundamentalist groups want to enforce.

"Fear, fear is always there," says 30-year-old Safana, an artist and university professor. "We don't know who to be afraid of. Maybe it's a friend or a student you teach. There is no break, no security. I don't know who to be afraid of."

Her fear is justified. Iraq's second-largest city, Basra, is a stronghold of conservative Shia groups. As many as 133 women were killed in Basra last year -- 79 for violation of "Islamic teachings" and 47 for so-called honor killings, according to IRIN, the news branch of the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

actually terror-fying. it is people like her that allow islam to fester and grow roots. i have offered her proof solely from the quran and hadiths and still she refuses to engage me. I even included nice photos of people running, but she still refused to engage me on the facts.

it is not just that some muslims may be moderate, for that is irrelevent, the core issue is the teachings of islam. the vast majority of muslims do not recognize "moderates" for a muslim is solely a muslim or not and the so called moderates are not even considered true muslims because they are capitulating to the west by softening islam.

Actually, BO-RING. She refuses to engage in anything that challenges her thinking. I have zero respect for her opinions, primarily because I think she's a lier. But it's the internet, so whatever.

Thanks for posting this uplifting message. I had almost forgot that all my rowdy Muslim friends were coming over tonight. To have dinner with all my rowdy illegal alien friends.
That way, no matter who achieves the downfall of America first, I am covered.
