Emo killings in Iraq
The Emo killings in Iraq were a string of homicides that were part of a campaign against gay Iraqi teenage boys who dressed in a Westernized "emo" style. At least six, and up to 70 young men were kidnapped, tortured and murdered in Baghdad & Iraq during March 2012. In September 2012, BBC News reported that gay men in Baghdad say the killings are continuing.
== Background ==
The emo subculture gained popularity among Iraqi teens in 2011. Earlier, it had become popular in other Arab countries. Emo, an offshoot of hardcore punk music, is associated in most of the world with teen fashion and alienation, but in the Arab world is also strongly associated with homosexuality. In 2009, Saudi Arabia's religious police arrested 10 emo women for allegedly causing a disturbance in a coffee shop, and in 2008, conservative Egyptians criticized emo fashion-followers in Cairo for being "disciples of Satan" and homosexuals. Homosexuality is not illegal in Iraq but it is taboo, and many LGBT (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender) people in Iraq are discriminated against, abused or murdered. Activists say anti-gay harassment has increased since the invasion of Iraq and subsequent Iraq War, with gay Iraqis being bullied and harassed by security forces and beaten and killed by reactionary Islamist paramilitary groups in heavily Shiite areas of Baghdad since at least 2006.〔〔
In February 2012, the Baghdad Morality Police published a statement on the Iraqi Interior Ministry website criticizing emo teens for wearing "strange, tight clothes with pictures of skulls on them," and "rings in their noses and tongues." The statement condemned emo as Satanic, and quoted Colonel Mushtaq Taleb al-Mahemdawi as saying the Morality Police had been given official approval by the Interior Ministry "to eliminate (phenomenon ) as soon as possible since it's detrimentally affecting the society and becoming a danger." The ''New York Times'' reported that in the weeks following, anti-emo flyers, threatening death unless gay men cut their hair, stopped wearing the clothing of devil worshippers and stopped listening to metal, emo and rap music, began appearing in neighbourhoods across Baghdad.〔
