We are fed up with you, and we are fed up with your ugly filth and your behavior that has no connection with the Iraqis. You have not maintained sanctity even for the dead. The coming days will be more terrifying in light of this recklessness without any deterrent."
"That's just disrespectful."
"These people are sick in the head."
"Not raised properly by parents."
"Ignorant and dirty people."

Before her tragic assassination, Iraqi influencer Om Fahad who was also sentenced to six months of prison time last year due to "indecent speech that undermines modesty and public morality" was seen in a beauty salon while she took a video of herself and posted it on her social media accounts.
The arrest happened due to the Iraqi Interior Ministry launching a committee to "combat" influencers that share "obscene and degrading content" including Om Fahad.
Late Iraqi influencer Om Fahad was shot dead in an attack outside her home in Baghdad's Zayouna district on Friday night Apr. 26, 2024.
