Emo killings in Iraq

So, you know how some people like to dress a certain way and listen to certain kinds of music? Well, in Iraq, some people don't like it when other people dress and listen to music in a certain way.

These people who don't like it are called extremists, and they believe that everyone should dress and behave a certain way according to their religion. They think that dressing in a certain way or liking different kinds of music is a bad thing.

Unfortunately, some of these extremists have been hurting or killing people who dress or behave differently than they want them to. It's very sad and scary.

It's important to remember that everyone should be able to express themselves in their own way, and nobody should be hurt or killed for it. We should always treat others with kindness and respect, no matter how they dress or what music they like.
