| Honour killing in Jordan hospital |
| 2004-06-03 |
| A Jordanian man has reportedly shot his unmarried cousin dead as she recovered in hospital after delivering a baby. The 35-year-old who has not been named then surrendered to police, saying he acted to "cleanse his family’s honour". Stunned medical staff were present as the suspect and his two brothers ran into the woman’s room and opened fire. The 25-year-old mother was hit by six gunshots, the Jordan Times reported, quoting official sources. The day-old baby lying next to her was unharmed. The two brothers reportedly turned themselves in later on. None of the people involved were named by the paper. EFL |

| #8 Of course, these dis-honor killings are perpetrated by "Pales" and not Jordan's Bedouin minority. |

| #6 Sheep and goats: no witnesses needed. The asshats think it's consensual. God help those poor animals (and I'm not talking about the asshats!) So the little boy--only one day in this world--is without his mother, and the mother is deprived of life, and of the joys and difficulties of raising her child. They needed each other, but "Mr. Izlamoid" didn't think of that . . . What a beautiful world Islam creates . . . And "cleansing" the family's "honor"? Tell that to the little boy who just lost his mother. BTW: The police won't do anything about it, since the murder was an "honor" killing. Poor guy. He just had to do something. We can hardly blame him . . . |

| #5 jules #2 - You forgot option e., sheep or goats Good point. Wonder if you would need 4 pious witnesses to prosecute a sheep rape. |

| #3 I'm sure a jury of their peers will understand. Personally, I think we should cut their gonads off a drop them pig swill. |

| #2 Why does cleansing the family's honor always take place on the body of a woman? In that world, women are forbidden from having premarital/unwed sex. So let's see, if that law were obeyed, who would men-50% of their population-be having sex with? Must be men having sex with: a.) Men (Allah save us!) b.) Women, but anally (Allah burn us!) c.) Themselves (masturbation) (Allah cut off our hands!) d.) Celibacy (the ONLY choice sanctioned by the Quran, right?) Apparently, men in that world have no honor to cleanse? |
