PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"Young, vibrant and bubbly, YouTuber Tiba al-Ali became a hit with her fun-loving videos about her life.

She started her channel after moving from her native Iraq to Turkey at the age of 17 in 2017, talking about her independence, her fiancé, make-up and other things. Tiba appeared happy and attracted tens of thousands of subscribers.

This January she went back to Iraq to visit her family - and was murdered by her father. However, the killing was not considered to have been "pre-meditated" and her father was sentenced to only six months in prison.

Tiba's death sparked protests across Iraq about its laws regarding so-called "honour killings", the case highlighting how women are treated in a country where conservative attitudes remain dominant.

'Strangled in her sleep'
Tiba built an online following of more than 20,000 subscribers - a figure which has swelled since her death.

She posted videos daily and enjoyed the new lifestyle Turkey had opened up for her.

In her first video in November 2021, Tiba said she moved to improve her education, but chose to stay because she enjoyed life there.

According to reports, her father, Tayyip Ali, did not agree with her decision to move there - nor to marry her Syrian-born fiancé, with whom she lived in Istanbul."...

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - CHip...I have searched and can't find it anymore...I read it last year sometime that someof the squad that are of that faith have mentioned they would like to incorporate their laws with ours. Again, I cannot find it but I definitely remember readingit and it wasn't on a mainstream news...it was something like WaPo ot the NY Times. Brief and then it disappeared as fast as it came.

However, IF this is true basing any law on religion is wrong.
