Afghan Woman Reportedly Executed By Taliban On Video

In a scene that recalled the kind of pre-9/11 reign of terror that many thought ended with the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, a video showing the public execution of a woman accused of adultery by a Taliban militant has sparked outrage in the country and around the world.

The three-minute video, obtained by Reuters, shows a woman in a burka being shot repeatedly as some 150 men cheer and yell "mujahideen." The killing took place in Charikar in Parwan Province, not far from the capital of Kabul.

"After 10 years (of foreign intervention), and only a few kilometres from Kabul... how could this happen in front of all these people?" said Fawzia Koofi a female lawmaker and campaigner for girls' education after watching the video. "It is really very much a sharp turn, and a huge backward (step)."

The Taliban have denied involvement in the execution but the religious extremist group has a long history of meting out harsh punishment to those deemed sinners.

U.S. General John Allen, NATO's top commander in Afghanistan, called the latest killing "an atrocity of unspeakable cruelty" as the hunt for the killer began and locals vowed retaliation.

She is assuming we have US Troops on every street corner in Afghanistan to stop shit like this from happening but the reality is we don't, this shit will be even worse when we leave too. Its time to stop fucking around and just bring our men and women home.

Afghans Protest Execution Of Woman

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Dozens of men and women took to the streets of Kabul on Wednesday to protest the recent public slaying of an Afghan woman accused of adultery whose gruesome, execution-style killing was captured on video.

The footage, which surfaced recently, shows the woman being shot multiple times about 10 days ago in Parwan province, north of the Afghan capital. The gunman was encouraged by people who stood nearby, smiling and cheering.

Police in Parwan said the Taliban were behind the killing, but the insurgents have denied they ordered or carried out the slaying.

The death of the unidentified woman, who was said to be in her 20s, set off a storm of condemnation. President Hamid Karzai, the U.S. Embassy, the top NATO military commander in Afghanistan and activist groups all denounced the killing.

It was a reminder that girls and women still suffer shocking abuse in Afghanistan, but the protest also indicated that people's views on women's rights here could be slowly changing.

"We want the government to take action on behalf of these women ... who are victims of violence and who are being killed," said Zuhra Alamyar, a woman activist who was at the Kabul rally. "We want the government to take serious action and stop them."

The crowd of about 50 demonstrators carried large white sheets that said "International community: Where is the protection and justice for Afghan women?" They marched from the Afghan Ministry of Women's Affairs to a traffic circle near a U.N. compound, and some shouted: "Death to those who did this act!"

Despite guaranteed rights and progressive new laws, the U.N. Development Program still ranks Afghanistan as one of the world's worst countries when it comes to equal rights for women. Afghan advocates say attitudes have subtly shifted over the years, in part thanks to the dozens of women's groups that have sprung up.

10,000 people in the US die every year from gunshots, never mind the people who are just injured and don't die. You saying it's not true, no one dies? And no women will get beaten today in the US? Really?

What happened to this woman in Afghanistan is completely different than a random murder idiot. Nice try. Trying to compare this to a woman beaten in the US is just retarded.

You're comparing criminal acts, that carry up to a life sentence or worse if convicted, with legal execution (under Sharia Law) of a woman for getting laid.

Seriously, go play in traffic.

Makes you happy Islam is a religion of peace isn't it? Imagine what they would do if Islam was actually a religion of intolerance and violence?

OK, she's a stupid woman then instead of a stupid guy. I wouldn't want to be accused of being sexist!
