Talking of people being buried alive I found this snippet recently that some of you might find interesting.
We were so angry with the prisoners that we didn't shoot them but, rather, decided to punish them severely.
"It will be a waste of bullets to shoot them," the lieutenant said. So we gave them shovels and demanded, at gunpoint, that they dig their own graves. We sat under the huts smoking marijuana and watched them dig in the rain. Each time they slowed down, we would shoot around them and they would resume digging faster. When they were done digging, we tied them and stabbed their legs with bayonets. Some of them screamed, and we laughed and kicked them to shut them up. We then rolled each man into his hole and covered him with the wet mud. All of them were frightened, and they tried to get up and out of the hole as we pushed the dirt back on them, but when they saw the tips of our guns pointed into the hole, they lay back and watched us with their pale sad eyes. They fought under the soil with all their might. I heard them groan underneath as they fought for air. Gradually, they gave up, and we walked away.
"At least they are buried," one of the soldiers said, and we laughed. I smiled a bit again as we walked back to the fire to warm ourselves.

Bad thing about places like this is, they dont think they are doing anything wrong. They still live in the stone ages and havent advanced as a civilization beyond pathetic tribal actions. You cant go in and upgrade their civilization. This was abhorrent by their primitive standards. Give them 500 years and they MIGHT have cobblestone roads.

Ah. Makes perfect sense. And a country caught a father and grandfather burying people alive for instinct urges, so they launched a tungsten rod from space and blew apart their villiage.

I bet nothing happened to the guys who were talking to her, except they got cockblocked.

Hmmm Islamic family once again kills family member over a perceived slight to their honor.
Apparently a meeting of the either family elders or tribal elders decided her punishment.
Im sorry. I am not shocked or surprised to this.

Religion in general does this. Not to point fingers, but history has shown Christians to be even more genocidal than Muslims (the crusades, persecution of jews, the holocaust). Hitler was a christian btw, he even asked one of his generals in the middle east to find proof of christ's existence.
Not saying Islam is good, but I think some of you are suggesting that Islam is a totally evil religion while Christianity seems to go unmentioned.
If we live and work together as equals, no one will have nothing and everyone will have everything.
Who said anything about them being an 'Islamic' family? They're Eastern Turks, they care more for themselves than they do for the nation or Islam.
They're mountain Turks ffs what do you expect from such retards, they still live in a backward way of life and should be bitchslapped till death
I thinks thats more than a bit insulting. I recently found that I'm not from a turkic background (actually its mixed Basque and Kurdish), but even to a non turk it seems pretty insulting. Thats like saying all white people are racist snobs who are fat and read the bible everyday.
If we live and work together as equals, no one will have nothing and everyone will have everything.
I think it's more akin to calling people who live in the Southern USA a bunch of inbred behind-the-times retards. Still insulting, to be sure. Would it be a less tasteless remark if you didn't consider yourself part Turkish? Keep in mind the poster you're responding to is also Turkish.

Yes but as of late, the muslims are really catching up.

I dont think the holocaust can be attributed to "Christianity", more of "one guy really effing lost it and a bunch of people who were 'just following ore-dah's' ".

I think both are totally moronic and should be eliminated, to be quite honest. More people have died by religiously-motivated violence than by anything else in the history of humanity.

I normally do not agree with you, but this is very correct IMO.
Even though this kind of stuff does not directly affect me. It pisses me off beyond belief. This whole "It was for the family" bullshit is at the same thought level as a fuckin primate. I firmly believe the grandfather and father should be killed the same way as the murder of the daughter. And the fuckskulls at the police station that did not do shit when she reported CHILD ABUSE should also be charged with something.
