Iraq executes 42 people in two days - Polidicks

[url]http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/11/20911972-extremely-alarming-iraq-executes-42-people-in-two-days?lite[/url] [QUOTE]Iraq executed 42 people, including a woman, for mass killings and other "terrorism" offenses over the past week, the justice ministry and the United Nations said following a surge in sectarian violence. The U.N. mission in Iraq said on Thursday it was concerned about the executions, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Amnesty International described the news as "extremely alarming." Both urged Baghdad to immediately suspend the death penalty, which rights groups say has been used with increasing frequency by Iraqi authorities in recent years.[/QUOTE] They just lifted the ban on the death penalty so its no surprise that they'd go overboard.

[quote]Iraq executed 42 people, [B]including a woman[/B][/quote] What?

[QUOTE=itisjuly;42497997]What?[/QUOTE] women aren't people

[QUOTE=itisjuly;42497997]What?[/QUOTE] Because apparently executing a woman is worse than executing a man. I'm sure that's not what they were trying to say, but that's what it sounds like from the way they worded it.

Well, Bush's goal was to bring Texas-style democracy to Iraq...

[quote]The criminals were found guilty of terrorist crimes... (that) led to the deaths of dozens of innocent citizens, as well as other crimes aimed at destabilizing the security and stability of the country and causing chaos and terror among the people[/quote] Death penalty might be too much, but it's not like they executed innocent people

Dropping a can in the road counts as "destabilizing the security and stability of the country and causing chaos and terror among the people".

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;42498141]Death penalty might be too much, but it's not like they executed innocent people[/QUOTE] The Iraqi justice system is probably shitty. Look at how many mistakes the US makes.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;42498141]Death penalty might be too much, but it's not like they executed innocent people[/QUOTE] For some reason I doubt Iraq has a very good legal system

As if their life is more valuable that others or something. All it does is strengthen the stereotype that women are defence-less or something.[/QUOTE] women can get executed just as well as men can. check your death penalty privilege

[quote] other "terrorism" offenses over the past week[/quote] I wonder what the other "terrorism" offences are exactly, considering how fucked the justice system is in places like this can be.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;42500132]So do I, but I don't think there's another economically feasible and effective solution to the terrorist problem, and their terrorist problem really needs fixing[/QUOTE] Ah so who cares about innocence when you have an economic problem

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;42500132] women can get executed just as well as men can. check your death penalty privilege[/QUOTE] Its strange how feminists are obsessing over the women being executed but not caring about the men at all. Not you specifically. Feminists in general.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;42500132]So do I, but I don't think there's another economically feasible and effective solution to the terrorist problem, and their terrorist problem really needs fixing[/QUOTE] so wait, it's okay to presume guilt because TERRORISM but only when your country is dirt poor i think i might sense a double standard at work [editline]12th October 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Rangergxi;42503023]Its strange how feminists are obsessing over the women being executed but not caring about the men at all.[/QUOTE] literally a single post = "feminists"

Freee executions for everyone!!

They are basically fighting a low intensity civil war against various factions. Largest of them being ISIS. Violence versus violence.
