I would be willing to bet she wasn't in love with this boy... was just looking for an escape from her crazy family.
These men should be convicted and they belong rotting in prison.  Religion has nothing to do with it... why is it in the Arab world such lack of respect for women exist?  What a bunch of cowards... standing around in a group and killing a defenseless girl.  Taking out their hate of women and blaming their problems on this child.  I could hardly believe that such barbarism and backwards thinking still existed but the video clearly shows the contrary.
Maybe not all Arab men go out and stone women, but the fact many of you consider them second class and property of their families just reinforces the idea that you are uneducated and behind the rest of the world. 
WOMEN ARE PEOPLE NOT DOGS.  RESPECT HUMAN LIFE, RESPECT YOURSELVES!

As a LIBERAL ARAB American that has had his son serve in Iraq for 22 months... and listening to all the horror stories he has relayed to me when he returned home… I have come to only one single conclusion,  ALL AMERICANS MUST GET OUT OF IRAQ, Then, and only then, can we let all of the crazy people there kill each other off….. sort of a free for all with Arabs killing ONLY Arabs ..  May the
strongest and smartest survive…  then after you have killed all the weak, dumb and helpless people…  we will then let you eat your oil…..  you should ALL drown in it…!!!!!   I am ashamed to be an Arab…!!!   I am going to seriously look into a total identity and cultural change as well as total renunciation of my entire Arab heritage and culture….!!!!!    We have proven what the world is saying about us……  We are

I believe that i should point out that Ezidi (in kurdish) is not a sect within Islam, rather a different religion altogether. Du'a was from a Ezidi background and fell in Love with a Muslim boy, she ran away from home to be with the Muslim boy, a Muslim Sheikh gave du'a shelter and food as she converted to Islam and the fact
Du'a had no place to go to. The people of the Ezidi cast looking high and low found out where she was seeking shelter and told the sheikh that the girl be returned to her Parents the Sheikh was not convinced as death threats on Du'a were rumouring but when the Muslim sheikh speaking to the parents directly of Du'a the mother and father were very apologitic and seemed genuine no harm and forgiveness would be granted to Du'a.
The sheikh had to let her go on and arranged for her Parents to pick her up. when Du'a returned to her Remote village of Kurdistan thugs got hold of her and planned out her fate local police again not getting involved. It really is sad to this and sad for people to make assumption's that this has anything to do with Islam. Hope this cleared any misconceptions. ***

In the first place, the men who killed the poor girl were not muslims. They were mad because the girl ran away with a Muslim boy. These killers were from another culture and religion. Such a shame and an outrage. I condemn the family of the girl for feeding her to these savage and brutal beasts. I condemn these killers as well as everybody within that area of incident.

Quoting from the news, "These successive incidents have sparked fears that a sectarian conflict may arise in the area between Muslims and Yazidis".  Fears?  Who is afraid?  I am happy. I hope the Sunnis kill every male in that town and sect. I hope the stone every male and free the women from this horrible oppression. I will read with glee ever time I hear Sunni's successfully killed one of these animals.

This is the most backward thinking in the world to murder a young girl for falling in love with someone not of the same religion.  Can't people realize that all religion is made up, concocted by humans to ameliorate the fear of death?  There is no Christian God, Muslim God, Jewish God, Hindu God, Buddhist God, etc.  There may be somw sentient being that created all of this, but the Gods of all organized religions on earth don't exist.  Stop all of this b......t, just f......g stop it.

As a Christian I ask the same thing Jesus did. "He who is without sin, cast that first stone." Again,the woman that was taken in sin before Jesus by the Jewish Leaders was alone. WHERE WAS THE MAN THAT SINNED? HELLO! IS IT ALRIGHT FOR A MAN TO SEXUALLY SIN AND NOT A WOMAN? Sin is sin! I don't agree with stoning. But if you're going to do it, do it to both. It's right up there with blamming the woman for having a daughter instead of a son, when it's the man's sperm that decides the gender. Please! It makes me so glad that I am not a muslim or have to live in a muslim's world as a woman. What a crock of mess!
And I suppose that the murder was done all in the name of allah. What a testimony to Islam. Sin is sin and respects no gender. I am thankful that I serve a
God that is full of grace and mercy.

Even though i myself am an atheist i believe that i should point out that Ezidi (in kurdish) is not a sect within Islam, rather a different religion altogether. It really angers me the way these animals act, i will not sit here and say that i will never call myself a Kurd again and all that hysteria that comes with it. The truth
of the matter is that these animals are simply uncivilised, and i don't mean that as an insult. I mean literally uncivilised in the way of Western nations, they are behind on thought, ideals, beliefs, etc. I am a Kurd and proud of that fact and i will never change that part of myself, its not possible unless i shed all of my blood. These people should not be placed into the same bracket as Kurds, the public should not
generalise on a race when little or no facts are present. I agree with what most of you people state, i want these people to be hurt in the worst possible manner, the way only the devil excels in. Asking for justice won't do much when you won't be heard so instead i will ask you people to try and understand that not all Kurds are like that. When my family heard of this we were all outraged, i would consider my family more forward than most Kurdish people and i don't mean to boast but we give women (in our family) freedom and respect as well as their rights. I hope that i
have said more than enough, it is very sad to see that several Kurdish women have posted here stating their hatred of the Kurdish race and Islam. You are not being smart, you are just running from yourself. One day you will grow up and understand that the right thing was not to run as far as you possibly could but to have stood up and fought for, not only womens' rights, but the general development of the race.

Than would make anyone touched by them instantly unclean.  Maybe a pig blood napalm would be even better.  We should use their religion against them.

Ah, it's pathetic that a culture would resort to such means to defend their values accepted through blind faith.
Following that much of an overzealous standing towards keeping their women
in line is disgusting. Their too traditional to continue existence in such a competitively advancing time of science and philosophy; they are a burden to what values of ethics and reason accepted by the greater Western and Eastern schools of thought. Such a waste of human and natural resources is unacceptable to the demands of our time and most definitely would call for a purge of their people. Men who are that zealous of what they believe in something comparable to BLIND FAITH do not hold a true model man’s principles, and they deserve no amnesty from any worldly power.

So much for a religion of peace, when it is a religious honor to kill someone (even your own daughter) who is not living her life in accordance to your own religious ideals (in this case loving another Muslim man not of Kurdish persuasion).  It also seems to be the same religion of peace that blew up the tube on 7/7, shattered
New York on 9/11, rallied millions of Muslims to riot violently when a handful of cartoons depicting Muhammad appeared in a newspaper, and have killed tens upon tens of thousands of non-Muslim civilians in bombings around the world in the past decade.  Religion of Peace or Religion of Intolerance? You choose.

the Kurdish male's honour, and by extension their sense of masculinity are very fragile and easily hurt and must be gaurded by all male members of the whole clan/tribe. This is done according to unconscious tribal programming. Therefore Kurdish males feel a lack of any sense of masculunity if they fail to control women's lives.
For Kurdish society is a tribal society with a code of honour defined mainly by women's sexual behaviour. This is the reason for the whole social taboos such such as regarding a woman living alone, as a tart. The Kurdish male-dominated social structures are rooted in tribal/Shariah based mentality which encourages the abuse of women who are seen as mere properties of the males or the family/community rather than as persons with individual human rights. The Kurdish male has sever psychologicall problems related to his weak sense of masculinity and needs treatment, so that, he can redefine his honour as being located in his own behaviour, not in the behaviour of female relatives.

So much of violence, so much of tears, so much of mess and dirt, disgrace, dishonour, and viciousness.
I am only twenty years old and already tired of life. And since i cannot do anything to fix the misery, i suffer myself.
i did not know much about the kurds, but now i know who they are, a bunch of terrorists who know how to terrorize a lady on the street.

This isn’t the only case to ever appear in humanity several; acts regarding this situiaton have been occurred in numerous Muslim countries. The situation is a matter to be dealt with, I personally think that the Kurdish and Iraqi government should enter mosul with a powerful little force and hang every single person who was witnessing the situation and did not attempt to prevent it from happening.
This is a disgrace to the Kurdish community not only does it loose all respect but it shows how much religious accusations can leave a trail of horrific acts in mankind.

I agree that, this is a religious issue, this is a caltural issue.Civil society is one of the latest achievements of human history. It doesn’t belong to any culture and we don’t divide cultures in this way. We believe and support the culture that defends
humanity and human beings and oppose the culture which is against them.
If you think about it, you will see that a culture which is against human beings belongs to a class which rules across the world.!! I am truly disgusted !! when I wachted the video showing the killing poor young girl  and shamed of myself as a human baing,,,,,,,,,,

I strongly beleive that this is the most horofic and barbaric act ever happened in the history of humanity and also this is discusting, brutal killing of a young teenager girl. The savages and nasty people who committed this crime should be hanged including the tribe leader of Yazidi community who orderd that killing.the people
committed this act were animals.

kurdistan, the iraq etc. have a cultural delay of about 150 years. Those guys shoult think about that and start forgetting old, useless things like honour or their religion (in that radical way) and start living in the 21st century...

Please STOP and THINK before you write a comment.
It is a brutal crime, and I never forget the brutality of those heartless criminals, I couldn`t resist my tears when I watched few seconds of the video.   But no one can condemn a hole  nation for this brutal crime (as Hellen & shkar say). A group of anti-Kurd has committed that crime (as Dua`s father said on Kurdistan TV).
We must remember that in the recent years some groups try to start Kurd-Kurd (Kurd-Yezidian) conflict. Their goal is to force Kurds to travel abroad to Europe (they want to minimze Kurdish population in Mousil/ and they have an office in Syria that promise European visas to Yezidian Kurds).
I think those heartless groups succeed in some minutes after at they attacked (Dua) and killed her, but the truth will be discovered soon. Those groups make everything they can to destroy for Kurdish nation. Those groups  are everywhere in Iraq (in the areas out of the control of Kurdistan government). 
To a coward turk person (Kevin) who is afraid to write his real name: Kurds want to retake their stolen land, they are not like fascist turks, Kurds will announce their independent unit KURDISTAN soon. And turky has no friends in all Europe and middle east. All these dislike turk: Greece, Armenia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Kurdland, Syria, ... etc.
We know that bloody turky stole land of Greece, Armenia and Kurds after the first world war. So a thief always say that the homeowner is guilty. Although continuous hard problems faced Kurds and thousands of crimes committed against them but they are always friendly, Kurds never think of revenge.
Kudistan Regional Government has send a   quick and necessary demand to the Iraqi government in order to find all those heartless wild creatures who killed Dua, and to punish them as soon as possible. That crime happened in Mousil which is out of the control of Kurdistan Government.

This is the most disgusting thing I have seen - a 1000 men attacking a little girl and the police helping to kill her - not help her!! - all brought on by the family of the girl.  So many people filled with group hate and the need to so brutally destroy and
torture a child. An entire community of people without empathy or remorse - not merely some deranged individual - what is the matter with these people? It is so absurd - it is like there is a piece to this story that is missing although I cant imagine what could possibly justify this.  I would like to know if people are charged - but how could they be - the police were in on it too!!

HEY!!!! everyone who has started attacking kurdish people for this crime need
to take a look at themselves.
I AM NO WAY CONDONING THIS CRIME, but attacking kurds and saying we are
savages and deserve no government is VERY WRONG.
Kurds are human, no one agrees this killing should have taken place, and it makes me sick to see in the year 2007 this was allowed to happen.
May the family always live in shame, and be haunted by their terrible crime.
But in no way should attacking normal, hardworking, law abiding kurds be singled out as a nation of heartless people.
When a english man rapes their daughter, or kills their parents, the world does not attack ENGLISH PEOPLE.
KURDS CAN NOT BE JUDGED BECAUSE OF THIS.
May the young girl rest in peace

I deeply hope this young girls death is never forgotten and the family will always be haunted by their terrible crime.
Kurdish people deserve more then anyone to live in peace after all the suffering we have endured, but when i see this I find it really hard to see postive aspects in our country.
I would ask all religious leaders to condem this killing.

My heart is been bleeding for the past few days people, the hearts of millions of other kurds and mine are deeply broken,Iam a kurd and I am optimistic that those group of animals are going to be charged and punished, the iraqi government or the KRG must have to charge and punish every single one of them and even the bypassers, strictly, according to the law, or otherwise iam sure the people of
kurdistan will bypass the kurdish government sooner or latter and apply the law, the anger is just too much, young kurds like us have never felt these kind of pains before, we have never been so angry, with all respect to the other ezidi kurds. these group of killers are not kurds, not humans, they have no language no no identity,they have nothing. if humane beings can be so cruel then surely i feel guilty of been one. please do not stereotype an entire nation by the actions of a group of criminls,because you are not aware how the majority of us feels and its hard to describe or at least for me.

Young man, there is a population of 500,000 of this tribe in that area. This is not propoganda, this is fact. Propoganda has no evidence to substantiate claims. This does. Huge huge difference.

Kurd, I am ashamed, mad and very sad.
I believe all involved in this crime should be brought to justice and arrested and prosecuted. These are sick men. This is simply cold bloody organized murder. How could a mother, a father, a brother have any hand in these acts. What is their justification?
Have we Kurds learned nothing after we have been through all these Prisons, Tortures, Executions, Genocides, Anfals, chemical bombs etc…..?

I am not trying to justify wat have happened, but it is very important to remember that this horrible situation which took place, was not a result of a way to practice their religion, it is the result of their culture, the religion it self is not surporting
things like theese, but the members of the religion are abeusing the religion, to justify the horrible things they have done. If this really was because of the shame she brought her family and therefore also loosing their pride, why did the family bring shame on themselves, by exsposing their own daughter naked in front of thousands of people and the hole world? where are their pride now? This is NOT okay, we got rid of Saddam and for what? To bring back people like him? Can you not see where this is going? You are distroying the last few things, which Saddam did not destroy...

Very sadly, countless women become victims of honor killings every year. The most sorrowful part is that most of these murders are ruled as accident, suicide, or family dispute, if they're reported at all. Police and government officials are usually bribed to ignore such crimes and prevent investigations. Stoning women to death in
public, disabling and disfiguring them, keeping them at home as hostages are nothing special in that part of the world. I had met many Afghan women myself that had shocking stories to relate about the fundamentalist Taliban regime. Can one imagine that women were murdered for just having a row with their husbands, a simple relationship with a man outside marriage, or if even raped against her own will. While, a man convicted of premeditated murder is imprisoned for as little as three to six months. Let me propound two simple cases here: In Egypt, law protects a man who kills his wife for engaging in extramarital affairs. In Jordan,
if a man catches his wife or a close female relative in the act of adultery and kills her, he is exempt from punishment.
Shortly: honor killing is a prevalent plague and a crime that threatens the unity and harmony of the community, and it acts as a barrier preventing women from progressing in their lives.
UN reports recently criticized our government for grave human rights violations. It has had a very negative impact of our nation’s credibility. The issues of honor-killing, freedom of speech, ill-treatment of detainees and women rights are among issues that require to be addressed immediately. These are evils that we should totally reject and try to uproot them in our civilized and rich culture.
I saw these honor-killing stories in different press. I think it is worth glancing through ém.
On May 31, 1994, Kifaya Hussein, a 16-year-old Jordanian girl, was lashed to a chair by her 32-year-old brother. He gave her a drink of water and told her to recite an Islamic prayer. Then he slashed her throat. Immediately afterward, he ran out into the street, waving the bloody knife and crying, 'I have killed my sister to cleanse my honor.' Kifaya's crime? Her judge and jury? Her own uncles, who convinced her eldest brother that Kifaya was too much of a disgrace to the family’s honor to be allowed to live." The murderer was sentenced to fifteen years, but
the sentence was subsequently reduced to seven and a half years, an extremely severe penalty by Jordanian standards.

Chicago Tribune, May 3, 1998

6 April 1999, 29-year-old Samia Sarwar, the mother of two young boys, was shot dead in the office of her lawyer. Samia was seeking a divorce after suffering years of domestic abuse from her violent husband. Her family felt that in seeking divorce, she had tarnished their honor, and for this she was brutally killed.

Amnesty International, 1999

A 25-year-old Palestinian who hanged his sister with a rope: "I did not kill her, but rather helped her to commit suicide and to carry out the death penalty she sentenced herself to. I did it to wash with her blood the family honor that was violated because of her and in response to the will of society that would not have had any mercy on me if I didn't . . . Society taught us from childhood that blood is the only solution to wash the honor."

Al-Ayyam, June 1, 2000

Sixteen-year-old Hsehu Yones was stabbed to death by her father, Abdullah Jones, on October 12, 2002, for having a Christian boyfriend and becoming "Westernized". According to Scotland yard, the stabbing is believed to be among 12 honor killings in the UK last year. On September 29th, 2003 Abdullah Jones was given a life sentence for his crime, showing the intolerance of honor killings in the UK.

Devrim KilicFri, 27 Apr 2007 03:49:56

I am ashamed of myself!
I just watched the mentioned video showing the killing of the Kurdish and ashamed of myself as a human being and moreover as a Kurd.
Unfortunately so called 'honor killing' is common in Kurdistan, not just in South but in the other parts too. Last year more than 10 people killed in this kind of indicents in Northern Kurdistan.
Something must be done to stop these killings, as a result of this 'honor' obsession people become the killer of their sister, daughter or wife on the pretext of 'honor'.
These kind of crimes is obviously against humanity and to overcome this issue we need mass education campaing. We need to learn to be tolerant, accept the 'other' as other, respect to one's individuals life and the power of love. Everybody has the right to love freely...
I think it is easy to arrest those who committed this crime and put them in the prison but this won't solve the problem as the problem is much much bigger. There is a issue of intolerance between Kurds, between different religious faith, between different ideologies and political parties. We have lost thousands of our people in clashes between rival or different groups who want to impose the their point of view on others...KRG, Kurdish intellectuals, Kurdish political parties have to denounce
this crime. Not only president Barzani and but also every Kurdish individuals who is against this crime must express their sarrow and disapproval to this kind of unhuman action.
'Honor' is a highly regarded matter in Middle East but we should consider that in the end it is the individual who is responsible for it. Let people live free, choose freely whoever they want to love and live with.
This incident proved the importance of the film David and Layla directed by Kurdish director Jalal Jonroy. It'll hit the cinemas soon and I hope everyone will take the relavant lesson out of it.
I know we can't bring the girl who is killed brutually back to life but at least we can try to stop other potention killing.

I agree that this is not a religious issue, this is not a cultural issue, this is a Hatred issue; lacking education, compassion and humanity, which is sadly seen in all backgrounds!
Religion is a practice of worship for something greater and more beautiful then ourselves. This has nothing to do with Race, ONLY HATRED!! Religion gives you no rights to take another's life, or harm others. I am Assyrian-American and I am ever so lucky to be here, but sickened and saddened that my sisters in other countries have this to fear!! I am truly disgusted!!

Peter StittThu, 26 Apr 2007 18:46:43

Again I find myself agreeing with Vladimir.  Whilst this event has been conducted by some Kurds under the pretext of "religion", this sort of behaviour is not what I think of when I hear the word "Kurdish".  There is much to be proud of within the Kurdish nation.
In short, wherever we find such behaviour in the world, we must make our outrage and disgust known.  We have to fight it and I know that our strongest allies in this battle for universal human rights for male, female and child will be educated Kurds who experienced the full force of the brutality of the Baathist, Iranian Islamic and Kamalist regimes. Indeed, it was Hawry, a Kurd resident inside Kurdistan, who mentions the role of humanitarian organisations in such areas and how they might
influence events and attitudes for the future.  That is an suggestion that I, with my "free" western thinking failed to see.
Every human life is precious and the brutal murder of a young girl is an obscenity but it is always a mistake to stereotype an entire people on the basis of the actions of a few primitive donkeys.
There were numerous vicious attacks on young Kurds by gangs of English youths in my home city of Hull (in 2000 to 2002) and I certainly do not want anyone to think of me in the same light as those animals.  Vlad is correct in pointing out that generalisation is not appropriate and I think both he and I know Kurdish people who are possibly more liberal in their thinking than we, as westerners, are. 
I am grateful that the British media has not reported the murder of this poor girl because I know our own Kurdish community would be accused of being "child killers" and "animals" by the English when they are just trying to build new lives, make money to send home to their families, and are doing a brilliant job as ambassadors for the Kurdish nation.  The English are very quick to generalise about foreign peoples.
There's good and bad in all societies.  This poor little girl had the misfortune to live amongst people who are primitive in their thinking.  I know that such a public obscenity would not have happened in Suleymania or Duhuk.
That said, all involved in this tragedy should be brought to justice and I pray the authorities (Iraqi not KRG in this case) feel confident enough to go into the heart of that community and arrest and prosecute every member of that mob featured in the video footage.  This was murder with no justification religious or otherwise.

The fantics of any faith and nation that engage in stoning crimes or other behavior such as beheading, female genital mutilation, rape,  torture, assasinations, etc. do not deserve to be called humans. Such criminals need to be imprisoned for life. It is also importnat not to vilify any faith or nation for such behaviors since the majoirty of every society do not approve such crimes.

Behavior like this has nothing to do with religion and/or honor and everything to do with cowardice and perversion.

It is times like these that I feel a shamed as a human being and a Kurd. How could they all stand around and watch this poor girl die?
What a barbaric act? Those who committed this act of cruelty are not humans. I am furious and outraged.
What a disgrace to a mankind!!!!

By any standards of humanity this is disgusting barbaric behaviour and those responsible should live in Iran where such actions are considered "normal".
Have we learned nothing over the thousands of years we have been on this planet?  Are we still mere base animals?
I just feel sick about this.
