Deja Vu…..  I’m sure he’ll get a hand slap and 6 weeks in Jihadi rehabilitation, and then be back on the street.  Gotta love the Muslim world…

Prosecutors say a Jordanian man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing to death his elder sister as she slept because he believed she was having an affair.The case is the first report of a so-called “honor killing” this year in Jordan, where about 20 women are killed annually by male relatives over perceived slights to the family name.

Criminal Court prosecutor Ahmed Omari says the 21-year-old man killed his sister before dawn Wednesday in her bed, stabbing her 10 times with a kitchen knife.

Omari says the unidentified suspect was arrested hours later and charged with premeditated murder. The man believed his 24-year-old sister had had an affair.

No trial date has been set. If convicted, the man could be sentenced to death.

    Wouldn't it be a cosmic joke if, as Jeff Dunham suggested with Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the virgins were ugly MEN?

    Astonishing, isn't it, that inappropriate sexual activity, even if only suspected, BY A FEMALE damages family honour, but murdering someone in cold blood does not. There is something deeply wrong and sexually amiss with the male Muslim mind. One has only to see how their women are forced to dress in order to realise this, but if further proof is required one simply has to think about that baloney of virgins in Paradise for the "heroes". Bunch of sexual inadequates.

    And my ex-wife actually SWEARS that Islam IS a religion of peace. I point stuff like this out and she doesn't hear. You don't see a lot of "honor killings" among non-Muslims, do you?
