Can anyone commit worse crime than this???

A former US soldier convicted of rape and murder in Iraq has been spared the death penalty.

Steven Green, 24, will now be sentenced to life in prison, after jurors in the state of Kentucky could not agree unanimously on his punishment.

A judge is expected to formally sentence Green in September.

In May, the jury found Green guilty of the rape of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and the killing of her and her family near Baghdad in 2006.

Four other soldiers are serving sentences of between five and 110 years for their roles in the 2006 incident.

Three had admitted holding down Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, raping her and then killing her, her parents and her younger sister at the family's home in Mahmudiya before torching the building.

Mr Green was discharged from the 101st Airborne Division before the case came to light.

He was the first ex-soldier to be charged under a US law that allows prosecution for crimes committed overseas.

Oh sister, when I heard about this incident I was disgusted. Rape is such a disgusting and cruel act on a woman. When I found out they even had pictures of it, I was even more disgusted... what is happening the world today, it seems all we can do it cry...

I'm not surprised at the verdict here... lets all hope someone decides to kill him in prison. :[

It is heart breaking! May Allah keep our sisters & mothers in His shelter.

Like bro Idris16 has touched, it would have been bigger news may be even a main headline if there was, Nauzbillah, some Muslim involved in such an activity. Media has never been fair to Muslim. Nothing new though.

May Allah bless this little sister's innocent soul.

To be fair if some muslims didn't act like crazed idiots then perhaps coverage might have been better.

But yes I agree with the terrible coverage this story got. The death penelty does not solve anything though.

The mad christians get plenty of coverage they are just not as violent as some of the Muslims have been. I have no doubt that the media have an agenda, but it's up the the ordindary muslims to try and change. Unfortuantley many Muslims live in non muslim countries so they are in a minority and saying thign like every woman should were a burqa and that certain sectios of society should be out to death is not compatible with western though. So it's no suprise that the radical muslims get all the attention, attention which they love!!!

I would say it's more to do with who is the news about; after the ratio in which how many Muslims and non-Muslims do some bad act. If some Muslims have done some bad acts, so have done ALL other black sheep from other groups - but the mainstream Media spreads hate about Muslims by keeping the spot light on those some Muslims.

[COLOR="red"]about 3 and none of them have been on the extreme side,as far as I know. I was trying to stick up for the majority of muslims who do have to put up with the fall out of the minority that are a bit extremest.

I agree with you up to a point. I don't belive the media spreads hate ( at lest not the mainstream media) It can spread untruths, not delibretly but my missunderstanding. I also think that they are trying to change I have noticed that more Muslims are being reprecented on programms such as the BBC's "The big questions" Everyone know's changing attitudes takes time but for attitudes to change then both sides have to help the process.

By the way what are you trying to prove by all this. If you want to show us the bad behaviour of some of the Muslims, I can do so of any group or community. what will that prove. We can have a atheist here who is most well behaved, doesn't mean he is right.

I don't need to show you the bad behaviour of some Muslims, The have done that themselves. This topic however has gone waaaaaay of topic though. Sorry.

Its funny the moment I came to other communities, the topic went way two far. Anyways don't worry

You told me on another thread, nice having a debate with you. I don't go debate people. If I am not wrong you came here to learn about Islam, however in virtually every thread you are out looking for a debate.

One can only know the truth when his/her mind is clear, unfortuantely not every one can keep in mind clear when he/she is looking for a debate. Debate brings about heat and wining an argument becomes more important than trying to understand things.

If there anyone here who is forcing his beliefs on you.

I used the word debate because I though "Chatting" would be to informal.
I'm trying to undertand Islamic belife by asking questions and questioning the answers because I don't undertsand. I seem to be incapible of just reading the Koran and accepting it for what it is saying, I guess I can't get out of my non-mulsim, western cultured brain. The question "Why" seems more important to me than "Accept" I'd make a rubbish muslim but I don't drink so that's a start!!!

Let me be blunt here. You don't but I DO believe that mainstream Media has been, and does, spread the hate against Muslims whenever find the chance. Every single chance is not being missed, I think.

...And, you might not agree with me cos you intentionally repeat their words what they spread. You need to learn about Islam, debating won't get you see the right Islam - but Quran and Sunnah. BUT then I have just read:

If you can't agree with what Quran says, I am afraid you might not find yourself agreeing with real Muslims on most of the topics because of a very simple and clear reason: They speak Quran!

I'd make a rubbish muslim but I don't drink so that's a start!!!

As if none of us here have never asked that question 'Why'. The Quran does not demand belief, it invites belief. It is not simply delivered as: here is what you are to believe, but throughout the Quran the statements are always: Have you O man thought of such and such, have you considered so and so. It is always an invitation for you to look at the evidence; now what you believe. That is what Quran asks you to do thinks, reason and try to understand. Most of the Quran came in response to question people had. That is why two statement to be found throughout the Quran are 'They say', meaning they ask you oh Muhammad (pbuh) and 'Say' i.e. tell them.

I guess I can't get out of my non-mulsim, western cultured brain.The question "Why" seems more important to me than "Accept" I'd make a rubbish muslim but I don't drink so that's a start!

Where did the west got this concept of asking the question 'WHY' in first place???? Hopefully I wont have to tell you that.

Hate is spread on all sides sadly.

...And, you might not agree with me cos you intentionally repeat their words what they spread. You need to learn about Islam, debating won't get you see the right Islam - but Quran and Sunnah. BUT then I have just read:

I don't actually repeat their words, My own thoughts are if i see a muslim on TV acting like an idiot I say well it's that particular muslim. I try not to judge a person by their religon nor do I judge a person by the actions of their fellow musliml,chritians etc.

If you can't agree with what Quran says, I am afraid you might not find yourself agreeing with real Muslims on most of the topics because of a very simple and clear reason: They speak Quran!

It's not my intention to agree with Muslims ( on everything) it's my intntion to learn so that I can challange wrongly held belifes. I don't persoanlly have to agree with it to help correct ironious beleifes.

This isn't the route you take to enter Islam, NOT even in jokes.

I'm not wanting to enter Islam.

I KNOW you have no such intentions, that was a counter reply to "I'd make a rubbish muslim but I don't drink so that's a start!!!" Nothing more than that.

I can't see how hate is spread on both sides when media has done such a job against ME that just because of few people like Usama Bin Laden people, who I even know who the hell are they, I can be called names by people who don't even know me! It might not be understandable by someone who has never been in the situation. Simple.

I am glad to see that you are like few of my non-Muslim friends; who are smart enough to differentiate between people and won't listen to what other says, but many people I know of ain't like that - I wonder where do they get these ideas from! I and you both know the answer.

Back in days this propaganda was against Russia then it was against Korea. Well, now it's against Muslims, collectively. You can be Next! Who knows...
Not too long ago every other video game used to turn out against Russia and Korea. Then recently it has become against Muslims. These small things can control the mind of people and always have some reaction.

I really hope by "learning" you meant that you will learn about what Muslims think of matters, and then you would correct the non-Muslims in your friends circles. That would be cool, if it really happens.

Vegan,

The mad christians get plenty of coverage they are just not as violent as some of the Muslims have been.

Really?
1. Christains from America (and UK) killed and are killing millions in Iraq, destroyed whole Country of Afghanistaan and are destroying it even as we speak, Yet they are not violent!
2. Christains (and Jews) in South Africa and other African countries used to practice slavery and Apartheild till yesterday. Yet, they are not violent!
3. Christains from USA send shiplaods of weapons to kill inocents in Palestine. Yet they are not violent!
4. Christains like Hitler killed people in gas chambers. Yet they are not violent!
5. Christains like Mussolini are not violent!
6. Christians organizations like KKK and skinheads who kills people just beacuse their skin color doesnot match. Yet they are not violent
7. Not to speak of what Christains have done in the past...enslaving black people from Africa and bringing them to USA. Killing Indians in America. Enslaving women for sex in Asia Pacific and colonizing other countries...Yet it is all non-violence!

Unfortuantley many Muslims live in non muslim countries so they are in a minority and saying thign like every woman should were a burqa

Nudists colonies and street prostitutes in these same countries are no problwm, but if Muslim Woman wants to cover, she is suddenly violent!

True but first you have to undertsand what it means to be a Satanist. Satanism is not like many religons, we have things proven to us that we can't prove to others so to try to is just impossible.But if we were to talk to another stanists about our experiance we find that they completey get it and have had similear experiances.

Fair enough, but thats not the first time I am hearing that, thats exactly the argument many Christains will tell you, many Hindus will tell you. Give me time I'll bring you some Muslims who will tell that.

Atleast your list is growing. What about Hindu, Sikhs and Satanists and Atheists. Want details.

We need to remeber that there are about 1.5 Billions Muslims around the world. Say if about 4% of them don't act like Muslim, at about 60 Million (equals U.K Population) 'so called' Muslim.

Wouldn't you atleast "try" explaining those experiences?? You will be surprised that some of us will actually believe you. It is possible for humans to communicate with the jinns.

Do you believe that there are other kind of species like Satan?? I mean, other jinns like Satan? Do u believe that?
