It is appalling to see the type of barbaric actions extremists are carrying out against Iraqi women.
A CNN article reports Iraqi women are killed "because they failed to wear a headscarf or because they ignored other ‘rules' that secretive fundamentalist groups want to enforce."
"...two women were killed in front of their kids. Their blood was flowing in front of their kids, they were crying. Another woman was killed in front of her 6-year-old son, another in front of her 11-year-old child, and yet another who was pregnant."

it's totally insane whats happening.Everyone seems to have either forgotten the teachings of Islam or don't know them.
No man needs to play Allah and decide the faith of these women.and if the women aren't doing Hijab and these men think they're great enough to even tell them then why aren't they practicing their own Hijab and lowering their gaze instead of going out on search to find a woman to kill?
At the same time if a woman is Muslim why is she even restraining herself from something that is Wajib (mandatory) on her? is she being rebellious?!. I just don't get it!.
