Amman: Jordan’s Criminal Court has charged a 19-year-old man with stabbing to death his sister in what is believed to be an honour killing.

Judge Jihad Al Dridi charged the man on Monday with premeditated murder and the possession of a dangerous weapon.

Al Dridi said the man confessed to repeatedly stabbing his 22-year-old sister to cleanse the family honour because she left the house too often.

The victim is the eighth person to be killed in honour crimes this year.

The name of the man and the victim were not revealed due to the sensitivity of the case.

I am sure that after an investigation is done, in order to uphold the poor girl’s rights, the man will be given a stiff sentence. Likely a fine and 30 days in prison.

    "One of the gravest charges levied against Islam, in terms of its alleged antipathy towards women, is the charge that it encourages a phenomenon known as honor killings."

    "This practice has absolutely no sanction in the Qur’an, the Prophetic practice, or in the evolved systems of Islamic law"

    Explain why, then, so many Muslims engage in this practice.

    Please read the article, it has nothing to do with Islam.

    I just read the article. Gosh, my flabber was gasted when I discovered that all those honour murderers act in order to defame Islam. You must stamp them out forthwith. How dare they bring the religion into disrepute!

    Strange then that these sinners always receive sympathy rather than condemnation.
    One muslim said on the subject:It's not sanctioned by our religion but it's definitely part of our culture.
    But then madness always begets more madness.

    I got a question here. As the muz religion (joke ain't it?) says that a woman's life ain't worth as much as a man's life, how many sisters can a muz man kill before he gets "life" in prison or get himself hanged?

    Islam is innocent of your allegations.

    Of course it is, Shukri. Islam is innocent of all allegations.

    I'm glad you acknowledge the truth.

    Orwellian truth?

    Well that's a bold faced lie isn't it? You've just proven again that you are a liar. A woman's testimony is worth 1/2 of a man's, unless of course you're talking about rape and then it's worth only nothing unless she has 5 male witnesses to back up her story......yeah, you're full of crap. Run your lies elsewhere, they're not flying too well here, poopsie.

    As a matter of fact,the Koran says that a camel is more important than
    a woman.A goat,too.

    I reckon that it's because the ancient caravans,where the Muslims
    considered the camel as a mean of transportation and also a "WIFE",
    if you dig it...

    Isn't that disgusting? The entire muz culture sucks so bad it's a pity. The whole bunch are little better than animals, in fact, animals have more class.
  • hellosnackbar
    That reminds me of the old joke:
    Why are camels called the ships of the desert?
    Because they are full of Arab seamen.

    But wasn't Jordan supposed to be a "MODERATE" muslim
    country???

    This is one of the few countries who NEVER should've
    been even born (invented in London)much less being recognized,
    for is fakier than a Bolivian-made U.S.Dollar.

    This is the price of having the DESERT PEOPLE ruling
    an entire country.

    I haven't heard of any Christian honour murders recently, have you? Come on, Christians, you are letting the side down. Are you incapable of keeping up with Muslims? Are you incapable of keeping pace with them? Daily, Islam is demonstrating its superiority. Shame!

    Yessir, there was one recently here in Tennessee. A couple girls were attacked and one was being raped when the other girl went to the next door neighbor for help. He brought a gun with him when he confronted the rapist and had to shoot the bastard when he wouldn't give up quietly. That's an "Honor Killing" ......Tennessee style. Proud of the lad. (oh yeah, he was a Baptist)
