Far from being called humans, these guys are not even animals coz the beasts dont do this their own. The girl loved a boy, she got married to him. Her folks called her back to accept her and then she is put through this. The girl loved her parents, else she wouldnt have ever gone back after finding the love of her life. I wonder how much she must have regretted, cried, begged. I never knew what parenthood would be till recent times. What a mother goes through for 9 months and how she brings up a child, only to do this? No words, absolutely no words. Its not possible for one to contemplate what she was put through, fear, deceit, agony, pain, humiliation... Death is certain, which ever way it comes to pass. But what I know is that every soul is accountable for their actions & there will be justice in this world or the next. Whether we believe in him or not, we have to face HIM on the Judgement Day. We never knew you Dua, but our hearts cry & pray for you coz WE ARE HUMANS. There are no words to describe the atrocity.

I think they knew exactly what they were doing and that it was evil. The obvious excitement in the faces of the murderers says enough. I couldn't care less what ethnicity, religion, or background those type of foul souls come from; any justification someone could offer for the harm done to Du'a and others like her is nothing but an excuse. They should do the world a great favor and kill each other, instead! Nadina, does anybody really care what their “frame of mind was”?

How in God's name can someone do that to another human being? And where is the honor in this? I thank God every day that I was born in the United States of America, where the notion of 'human rights' actually means something. I hate to even think about what poor Du'a was feeling and thinking when this took place. Out of hundreds of people there, not one lifted a hand to help her. What a beautiful person she must have been. What a beautiful life that was snuffed out. If only she could have been born in America. Du'a, rest in peace.

I can only wonder what it was she was thinking. Was her heart broken from her failed attempt at love and freedom? Was she crying inside for her parents? Did she feel defeated or was she concentrated on dying with some degree of dignity intact? The men who murdered her so viciously, contemptuously, and heartlesslessly I also wonder about. Though I can easily refer to these men as beasts, animals, I also wonder about their frame of mind. Apparently, they believed they were doing a just thing. How broken, embittered, hopeless, self-loathing, and/or ignorant does a person have to be to lose all sense of humanity and conscience? Du'a: May God bless you. Rest in peace beautiful child.
