NY Times mini-documentary.

She's beaten to death in the street by a mob of men. The police watch.

Warning: Extremely graphic.

I imagine this is what hell looks like. Or maybe the Middle East is hell. Sure looks like it.

Oh, and one more thing, according to the resident Muslims here on ISH, none of these men in the video are Muslim.

Islam with that immunity though!

I don't know the whole story but odds are she was blamed for something someone set her up with because they didn't like her? Very disturbing. Muslim or not, you don't treat someone like that no matter how religious you are.

Every soul shall taste death and that is when they will truly get what they deserve.

She was murdered after allegedly arguing with a mullah who falsely accused her of burning the Quran. Police investigations revealed that she had not burned anything.

According to eyewitnesses, hundreds of angry civilians flocked to the mosque upon overhearing the mullah's accusation. They dragged out Farkhunda and started to beat her.[5] She was thrown from a roof, run over by a car, and beaten with sticks and stones outside the mosque. The mob then set her body alight and dumped it in the Kabul River while police allegedly looked on.[8][10] Farkhunda's parents said the killing was instigated by the mullah with whom Farkhunda had been talking, who, according to Tolo News, began loudly accusing her of burning the Quran "in order to save his job and life."[11] An eyewitness said that the mob was chanting anti-American and anti-democratic slogans while beating Farkhunda.[12]

Crazy that the last hour of her life was spent being beaten to death. That's horrible.

Public Reaction in Afghanistan:


A number of prominent public officials turned to Facebook immediately after the death to endorse the murder. The official spokesman for the Kabul police Hashmat Stanekzai, for instance, wrote that Farkhunda “thought, like several other unbelievers, that this kind of action and insult will get them U.S. or European citizenship. But before reaching their target, they lost their life.” The Deputy Minister for Culture and Information Simin Ghazal Hasanzada also approved the execution of a woman “working for the infidels.” Zalmai Zabuli, chief of the complaints commission of the upper house of parliament, posted a picture of Farkhunda with this message: “This is the horrible and hated person who was punished by our Muslim compatriots for her action. Thus, they proved to her masters that Afghans want only Islam and cannot tolerate imperialism, apostasy, and spies.” [13]

Even the Afghan government endorsed it, and accused her of working for the US.

Yeah, that mob mentality was hard to watch. How big must they feel being the 13th person to kick her :rolleyes:

Time to do the same to the Mullah who 'falsely' accused her. Eye for an eye.
