Currently Iraq is violence prone. People can kill each other for various reasons, personal disputes, religious views, political views, affiliations, etc. Not exactly a place with proper law and order.The question is :Why is Christian gril shot to dead in iraqi street!??
You live in China, it doesn't have gun violence so incidents like this seems like big news and can be shocking. The only people getting shot and killed are drug gangs when they shoot at police officers to avoid arrest. After talking to a few Afghans for example, to them getting blown up in some terror attack or get shot by some armed group is just a baseline risk they assume in their daily life. Society won't bat an eye if people get killed like that. Different environment, different ways of coping.
Some Chinese people have visited Iraq and did journalism, you can find it online. Most recognise the tragedy of modern day Iraq and sympathise with it. Many of older generation seems well educated but society got decimated due to 3 major wars in the last 30 years. You can expect many of the youth that didn't have a proper upbringing getting attracted to crime and violence. With the lack of a properly functioning state, many people get left out of proper services and lack stability. If we go back a few years, ISIS was posting videos of them murdering Iraqi security personnel and people affiliated with them even when they were in civilian clothing in a similar fashion as this current incident. This lady got much attention due to her high visibility profession. If this was just some random Iraqi girl of Christian faith, it wouldn't get much international attention.
After the wars, sectarian violence surged and was promoted as a policy by the US. This case could be sectarian or due to the lifestyle the model was promoting. As sectarian violence surged, people find refuge as a survival instinct, often it makes people more conservative and militant. Maybe it was due to other personal issues.
