Twisty posts about the recent honour killing in Iraq.  I realise that doesn't narrow it down any.

In short, 6 men stone a girl to death for an hour.  I freely admit that I am not strong enough to watch the video Twisty has embedded in her post, but I don't think it's necessary to watch it in order to feel outraged and upset.  edith says a true thing: "And I'm just never going to understand why people think women's rights is an outdated agenda."

In conclusion, I remain insufficiently convinced of the effectiveness of online petitions, but it couldn't hurt.
