Daughter slain for having sex was still a virgin
September 8 2002
from:The Sun-Herald
A Jordanian father who suspected his daughter of having sex before marriage shot her dead in one of two new "honour killings".
An autopsy later revealed the girl was still a virgin. The Jordan Times quoted officials as saying that, in the third such killing this week, the 17-year-old girl had been detained by police in Amman to protect her from family members who believed she was having sex. She was released on Wednesday after her father signed a declaration promising that he would not harm her. However, shortly afterwards, he shot her dead.
In another incident yesterday, a 28-year-old woman was stabbed to death with a hatchet and a knife in her Amman home by her older brother, who complained he could not tolerate rumours spread by friends and neighbours about his sister's sexual relations. The two latest cases raise to three the number of woman slain over the past week in the spate of so-called "honour crimes".
The third was a 24-year-old woman strangled by her 20-year-old brother with a telephone cord at their parents' house on Sunday night after her family learned she had become pregnant before she married her husband.

Actually, if you look
here, you'll see that NOW is pressing for change in INS regulations to allow women who would be subject to "honor" killings to seek asylum in the U.S.A.

"A Jordanian father who suspected his daughter of having sex before marriage shot her dead in one of two new "honour killings"." Do ya reckon Butch Reno and the BillzaBubba considered it to be "honour killings" when they ordered the SLAUGHTER of 78 Christian men, women, and children at Mount Carmel in Waco?!
Makes me sick to my stomach...MUD

That'll be a big help; they'll be dead long before they can get here.

This probably needs an "Islam, Religion of Peace" Alert. This sort of savagery is not aberrant, but conforms to the word of allah. See Ibn Warraq, "Why I Am Not a Muslim."

NOW is also angry at the pregnant one who married her husband instead of aborting her baby.

Obviously, these people could not have been Muslims -- because "Islam is peace."

Oh please, as though it couldn't have happened in some non-Muslim family, for whatever reasons....

The concept is to help those that are already here from having to go back. There's been a few of those. They come out here to school, or the father brings the family over to work. The girl does something that normal American girls do, like dance with a fellow student at a mixer or something. Or, frankly, has sex with one of her classmates. The old man (or an uncle or brother or cousin) decides she'll have to die. NOW doesn't get into foreign policy as much as they do domestic policy, but they've come out against "honor" killings, female genital mutilation ("female circumcision"), etc.

Everybody doesnt do it. And everybody does not have a culture that encourages it. So your argument is rather silly.
I wonder if any of these relations were even arrested.

Yes... I forgot the /sarc line.

There are parts of Mexico, America, and Africa that behave similarly.
The assumption that any of these are representative of a typical religion is as huge a misguided leap is believing that Bill Clinton (or Monica) are epitomies of Christianity and Jew.

"Actually, if you look here, you'll see that NOW is pressing for change in INS regulations to allow women who would be subject to "honor" killings to seek asylum in the U.S.A." This is consistent with their multiculturalists view. Diversity of color and culture, singularity of thought.
