Officials say unidentified man killed influencer who had previously been imprisoned over dancing videos
A man on a motorbike has shot dead a social media influencer known as Om Fahad outside her Baghdad home, Iraqi security officials have said.
The unidentified attacker shot Om Fahad in her car in the Zayouna district on Friday, a security official said, requesting anonymity because he was not cleared to speak to the media.
Another security source said the attacker appeared to have pretended to be making a food delivery.
Om Fahad became known for lighthearted TikTok videos of herself dancing to Iraqi music wearing tight-fitting clothes.
In February last year, a court sentenced her to six months in prison for sharing “videos containing indecent speech that undermines modesty and public morality”.
The dumbest out of all the modern “military interventions”. Invasions, really.
“Oh no, you can’t call it that.”
What do I look like, a fucking liberal? A socially conservative liberal even? GTFO here with that, you boot licking normie.
Iraq was bad under Sadam Hussein, but has gotten so much worse post-US invasion, after they installed a bevvy of corrupt collaborative yesmen of course, which has never been bad against any country in history of governance /s
People always underestimate the fact that war creates chaos, not whatever your ostensible goal was. The people who “win” a war are gangs, warlords, and extremists. There hasn’t been a war that advanced the original policy goal in like 150 years.
Edit: I know there are exceptions that prove the rule. No one has to be like “What about Kosovo?” or whatever.
Edit 2: Especially the Emu war.
I know you tried to head off rebuttals with that “exception that proves the rule” line, but WWII seems like a big fucking exception.
I would say that it generally applies to those who start the war to begin with though, meaning that if the Nazis had won WWII, it would have applied.
I was talking about the people who initiate the war. Hitler didn’t accomplish anything in WWII unless his goal was to shoot himself in a bunker while we stole all his scientists to send people to hit golf balls on the moon.
The Emu War was one of the few times nature fought back and won and I salute you for it, emus!
It was never about anything other than makin’ fat stacks. Petro companies and PMCs made out like bandits from that shitshow. As a bonus, we also got a renewed generational regional resentment in the Middle East towards the west.
