That too, but this is more on honor culture.

There is no way to fix stupid. All of the elements needed to go underground are included in the instruction manual for all religions. It only creates further conflicts in future generations. The only way to fix this is to introduce scientific thought and principals at a young age across generations and slowly whittle away at them. If you present a solid target, you'll never succeed. People must realize on their own that they do not believe in magic and that this applies across all of time in both directions without exception. They need to see things like the cosmological constants are the true signature of the universe. If a god made this place at a minimum she should have written these down to undeniably sign her work. People need to realise, the past had extremely uneducated people, but they still had clever conartists, they still had all the mental health disorders we see now and then far more because of those that get treatment now. When something says X-Y-Z happened and thousands of people saw it, do we have thousands of accounts or one person saying so. Did they write it down right after it happened or decades later. Do their accounts have errors like a school kid cheating on their homework and copying others or are they consistent. Saying "X-Y-Z happened, and ten thousand people saw it" four decades after it happened and after a giant rebellion where most of those people died is nonsense. Some prophet zooming around like they have Dr Who's Tardis is just as fiction. People were stupid back then. They are not much better now. We were all very stupid as children. It is hard to reverse the stupid things we learned as children. The only way to fix this is to get to these children subtly without alerting the stupid children that are raising them.

This is NOT religion. This is stupid culture. There’s a reason every religious leader in Iraq condemned this. This stupid cultural idea existed for thousands of years, long before religion, and religious leaders are the ones actually citing holy books to help put a stop to this. Blame the right people.

/c/atheism

This isn't about religion. Please read the article before making ignorant comments.

Like all of them, really. I dream of a day when all people realize neither of those bullshitty made up stories even make sense and will stop believing in all of religion.

Just like any religion. This has nothing to do with Islam. It has everything to do with extremist zealots who exist in every religion. Even Linux.

And considered not premeditated and only a 6 month sentence. I don't know what sort of premeditation theory they have in Iraq but you cannot act in the heat of the moment without any thought when someone is asleep. In the states that is premeditated murder without any doubt.

Edit: To give an idea how low the bar is in the states, I was on a jury that convicted a man of premeditated murder who strangled a woman. At first I was going to vote against it, but after reviewing the ligature I noticed the killer tied it off. That implied a level of thought that pushed into premeditation, because he took the time to realize she might not die if he released the pressure and he wanted to ensure she did.

Because religion is still the brainwashing machine that set it in motion.

Saying that it's all because religion and not blaming the father is stupid, but so is ignoring the importance of religion as a control tool.

Because fundamental Islam pretty much encourages violence against women?? Why are you not asking why violence against women is much more prevalent in Middle Eastern countries than almost anywhere else on Earth?

Despite how you've framed your comment, "blaming the dad for being a murderer" is the most surface-level analysis of this situation. We need to ask ourselves why did he kill her (as in, what environment needed to exist to make a father think that murder was a solution to whatever problem there was).
