ARBIL, Iraq - Cellphone videos have appeared on the Internet showing an Iraqi mob stoning and kicking to death a 17-year-old girl after she offended her minority community by eloping with a Muslim man.

Doaa Khalil Aswad was a member of northern Iraq's Yazidi religious sect but, according to local officials, she was murdered on April 7 by her brothers and uncles after she allegedly converted to Islam.

In the video -- on the Kurdish website Jebar.Info and rapidly spreading on the Internet -- Aswad is shown lying in the road as men kick her and throw a large lump of rock or concrete at her head.

Her face is drenched in blood but uniformed and armed officers of the Iraqi police stand by and do nothing to prevent the attack.

The slim, dark-haired girl is wearing a red tracksuit top and black underwear during the beating

At one point she struggles to sit up and cover herself, but a man kicks her in the face knocking her violently back to the ground.

The assault continues for several minutes and she does not appear to cry out nor resist her attackers.

Members of a large crowd can be seen filming the murder on their cellphones, some of them shouting or kicking out at the cowering victim.

Nobody tries to help her.

"They brutally killed a young Yazidi girl in pursuit of out-of-date tribal rites," said Tahsin Saeed Ali, Emir of the Yazidis in Iraq and the world and head of the Supreme Yazidi Spiritual Council, in a statement.

Ali condemned the murder and called on Muslims not to retaliate. When news of Aswad's murder surfaced last month, it triggered an apparent revenge attack.

On April 23, gunmen stopped a bus carrying workers to her community, the village of Beshika 10 kilometres (six miles) outside Mosul, dragged out 23 Yazidis and shot them dead.

While it is a Kurdish speaking area, Beshika lies outside northern Iraq's Kurdish autonomous region, whose administration has urged the national government in Baghdad to carry out an investigation into the murder.

Last week the United Nations' quarterly report on human rights in Iraq expressed serious concern over a rapid rise in so-called "honour killings" of women deemed to have betrayed their families in Kurdish Iraq.

"The killing of Doaa is a great tragedy for her family and the Kurdish community. It is a crime and religiously, socially and ideologically unacceptable," a statement from the Kurdish authority said

"While we condemn this crime, we demand that it be not used in arousing sedition among the components of the Kurdish people.

Yazidis -- who number some 500,000, mainly in northern Iraq -- speak a dialect of Kurdish but follow a pre-Islamic religion and have their own cultural traditions.

They believe in God the creator and respect the Biblical and Koranic prophets, especially Abraham, but their main focus of worship is Malak Taus, the chief of the archangels, often represented by a peacock.

Followers of other religions know this angel as Lucifer or Satan, leading to popular prejudice that the secretive Yazidis are devil-worshippers.

Nevertheless, the community has survived for centuries alongside its Muslim and Christian neighbours. Now, however, with sectarian war gripping much of Iraq, Sunni Muslim extremists have begun to threaten them.

Yazidi accounts of creation differ from that of Christianity and Islam. They believe that God first created Melek Ta’us from his own illumination (Ronahî in Kurdish) and the other six archangels were created later on. God ordered Melek Ta’us not to bow to other beings. Then God created the other archangels and ordered them to bring him dust (Ax) from the Earth (Erd) and build the body of Adam. Then God gave life to Adam from his own breath and instructed all archangels to bow to Adam. All archangels obeyed except Melek Ta’us. As God inquired, Malak Ta’us replied, "How can I submit to another being! I am from your illumination while Adam is made of dust." Then God praised him and made him the leader of all angels and his deputy on the Earth. Hence the Yazidis believe that Melek Ta’us is the representative of God on the face of the Earth, and comes down to the Earth on the first Wednesday of Nisan (March/April). Yezidis celebrate this day as the New Year's day. God created Melek Ta’us from his illumination (Ronahî ) on this day. Yazidis argue that the order to bow to Adam was only a test for Melek Ta’us, since if God says something then it happens (Bibe, dibe). In other words, God could have made him submit to Adam, but gave Ta’us the choice as a test. They believe that their respect and praise for Melek Ta’us is a way to acknowledge his majestic and sublime nature. This idea is called "Knowledge of the Sublime" (Zanista Ciwaniyê ). Sheikh Adî has observed the story of Melek Ta’us and believed in him.[4]
One of the key creationism beliefs of Yazidism is that all Yazidis are descendants of Adam rather than Eve.
Yazidis believe that good and evil both exist in the mind and spirit of human beings. It depends on the humans, themselves, which one they choose. In this process, their devotion to Melek Ta’us is essential, since it was he who was given the same choice between good and evil by God, and chose the good......

Good point, but I don't think the pictures are gory because you can't actually see much of what's going on. I'll provide a commentary. The "gore" is only manufactured by your mind when you realise what these blurry pictures represent.

I will, however take advice from other mods if they think it is too strong.

I don't think this event has any relevance to the war, invasion, incursion, terrorism or anything else that's going on in Iraq. But it does show what inhumane bastards some people infesting this planet are.

Some of these tribal idiots make our tuktuk drivers look like rocket scientists.:rolleyes:

YEP, them evil mean contractors that try and restore -- WATER, SEWER, ELECTRIC AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE to Iraq-- capitalist bastards :finger:

It is vaguely pathetic seeing the sanctimonious backpedalling of people who are so clearly in the wrong.
Face FACTs- you Fucked it up America, and everyone knows it.

I got to agree with sabang, america has only accomplished killing off loads of americans and iraquies, the iraquies aint changed cos bush wants their oil, they still stone people to death, they are still animals, they will kill more americans and young women tomorrow, well done america, you have accomplished absolutely nothing apart from killing.

after the oil???-- then please explain why the gas( petrol- for those non-english speaking members) have doubled here in the states since the war began????

Maybe because george thought he could win this war, like they thought they could win the vietnam war, the korean war, maybe he just thought america would get lucky this time, shame america foked up yet again though....

just goes to show ya--- at the end of the day, no matter how much HOME TRAINING they receive--- savages will be savages

plant a orange tree to feed the Iraqis and they will cut it down and use it for fire wood !!!

It was american dumbfoks that thought they could learn the savages, how many billions of dollars has it cost you lot to learn that these dumbfoks aint interested in your ways?

Do you think america could teach the Thais how to drive cars properly? of course not, then why the fok do they think they can quell a soveriegn nation?

Assuming that you are correct (and I think you are) that these are very backward cultures, why are we dying to promote democracy there? Won't backward cultures simply elect backward leaders with backward ideas? Ayatollah Sistani, spiritual leader of the Shiites, has stated that chess and music should be banned and that women should only be allowed to look at a man's hands and feet in public. From the looks of things, the Kurds aren't much closer to the 21st Century. The ultimate irony of all this is that many of the Sunni insurgents are former Baathists, members of a party that was actually more socially progressive than our supposed allies. So why are we shedding our blood to give Iraqis the right to vote in politicians who will ban music and allow women to be stoned in public? Just one more reason why this protracted occupation is insane and stupid.

They shouldn't have been there in the first place. They are the results of your illegal invasion. Don't blame the terrorists, but the terrorist enablers, that is you and the other war supporters.
