Please note the pictures of the first few women victims in the Guardian video. They were killed while wearing the acceptable dress! I do not believe all these women were killed because of the way they dress, I believe they were killed probably by their relatives, so called honour killing. Please remember you are relying on a politically biased chief of Police
Since the war on Iraq and the authority vacuum, there has been a surge in 'honour killing' all over Iraq, even in the Kurdish area (refer to the latest UNAMI report) Basically this what Bush and Blair has brought to Iraq's women.
I warn you against blaming Islam for it. 'Honour killing' has nothing to do with Islam it is Tribal. I want to know the stats of 'honour killing' and prostitutes' killing in Basra every year since 2003, before I can pass my judgment.
What is really outrageous and has only been acknowledged yesterday (17/12/07)on the BBC1 Panorama program, the exodus of the minorities from Basra under the Watch of the British occupation Forces! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/panorama/default.stm
missed the latest programme? Watch now
Not mentioning the lack of clean water and sanitation, and public health services in better shape under Saddam and sanctions! There is no excuse!
Please note the pictures!
