The delirium of fanaticism


I read about this yesterday & it’s pretty clear now that life is too cheap in the eyes of all those self-styled prophets. Unfortunately, they happen to be everywhere. 90 Iraqi students were stoned to death for wearing jeans, & having strange haircuts. Basically any youngster who emulates the emo style has been the target for this crazy killing. Moreover the number of deaths could even be higher than what has been reported.

At least 14 youths have been killed in the capital Baghdad in the past three weeks in what appears to be a campaign by Shia militants. All of this has been done as ‘emo’ subculture has been labeled as ‘Satanism’ last month by none other than Iraq’s moral police. Which is why fanatics are killing young people.

When you ask the question: what is the crime of fans of the emo trend? The answer is: they wear tight jeans and have distinctive long, black or spiky haircuts. What the hell is this anyway!

This particular teenager in the pic was brutally killed by fanatics.

This is exactly what I read in Daily Mail:

'The Emo phenomenon or devil worshiping is being followed by the Moral Police who have the approval to eliminate (the phenomenon) as soon as possible since it's detrimentally affecting the society and becoming a danger,' the statement read.

'They wear strange, tight clothes that have pictures on them such as skulls and use stationary that are shaped as skulls. They also wear rings on their noses and tongues, and do other strange activities.'

They are just killing these youngsters as they look Westernized. Just because someone has a specific haircut or he wears T-shirt & jeans doesn’t mean he’s into devil worshipping. This is the height of insanity. They are doing crazy, unacceptable things in the name of Islam. And now I don’t even expect victims (those who have survived, if anyone has survived) to try & understand that this is not Islam. I’m sure these youngsters must be living in fear. When you’re a teenager, you feel like dressing up in a certain way; you want to experience certain things. Is this the price they pay in Iraq for being a normal teenager? It’s been specifically written in the Quran that certain people will believe that they are doing the right stuff but actually they are the real culprits. They are the ones who are besmearing the name of Islam.

Unfortunately everyone sees what these evil folks are doing.
