Vigilantes kill 40 women in Iraq's south

Yahoo! News - Religious vigilantes have killed at least 40 women this year in the southern Iraqi city of Basra because of how they dressed, their mutilated bodies found with notes warning against "violating Islamic teachings," the police chief said Sunday. "The women of Basra are being horrifically murdered and then dumped in the garbage with notes saying they were killed for un-Islamic behavior," Khalaf told The Associated Press. He said men with Western clothes or haircuts are also attacked in Basra, an oil-rich city some 30 miles from the Iranian border and 340 miles southeast of Baghdad. Before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, Basra, Iraq's second-largest city, was known for its mixed population and night life.

Now, in some areas, red graffiti threatens any woman who wears makeup and appears with her hair uncovered: "Your makeup and your decision to forgo the headscarf will bring you death." Khalaf said bodies have been found in garbage dumps with bullet holes, decapitated or otherwise mutilated with a sheet of paper nearby saying, "she was killed for adultery," or "she was killed for violating Islamic teachings." In September, the headless bodies of a woman and her 6-year-old son were among those found, he said. A total of 40 deaths were reported this year. "We believe the number of murdered women is much higher, as cases go unreported by their families who fear reprisal from extremists," he said.

I don't know why they call them 'vigilantes', these are Islamic scumbags, savages living in the stone age, evil SOBs, that's what they are. It was these same scumbags who were terrorizing and brutalizing the Sunni triangle earlier this year, before the Americans decided enough was enough and took back the streets and killed those sons of pigs. And guess who opposed those Americans every step of the way, apart from the Jihadist scumbags.
