Jordan, you will recall, is the moderate land where a law mandating stiffer penalties for honor killing was rejected on Islamic grounds. From AFP, with thanks to Twostellas:
AMMAN - A Jordanian man shot dead his divorced sister after seeing her photo on his friend's camera-equipped mobile phone in the latest "honour" killing in the kingdom, hospital officials said on Monday.The unidentified man shot the 31-year-old mother twice in the head Sunday night and then turned himself in to police saying he committed the murder to "cleanse his family's honour."
The incident is the fifth example of a so-called honour killing in Jordan this year. Those found guilty usually face sentences of a maximum of one year in jail under Jordanian law.
Last month, a man stabbed his sister to death after finding out she had agreed an unofficial marriage with a man who subsequently
disappeared...
"The incident is the fifth example of a so-called honour killing in Jordan this year. Those found guilty usually face sentences of a maximum of one year in jail under Jordanian law."
A year in jail for murdering one's sister!?! Good grief! Islam is truly a death cult!
And where is the lovely Queen Noor in all of this?
Oooooh ! one year ! Yea that oughta discourage that sort of thing .
Hmmmmm , let me see .... you lose your right hand for stealing .......[ scuse me while I barf ]
"A Jordanian man shot dead his divorced sister after seeing her photo on his friend's camera-equipped mobile phone..."
When they shake their head does their brain rattle? For the love of... these people are down into the negative numbers when it comes to intelligence. Was it her fault if his "friend" took her picture?
Do you think lobotomies would do the trick or is something much more sinister necessary?
Aggghhhhh!
This is their 'culture', this is their 'honour'- this is the true face of Islam and that is what they want to force on us.
For more than 1000 years we have been fighting them. Now, for the last 50 years, we let our guard down, we forgot our history, we all went flower- power mad, thinking: 'If we allow them to prosper in our societies they will turn into decent humans, appreciating and contributing like others before them...'
Yes, in a few cases it worked. In the beginning it seemed to work. Until we opened the floodgates and even gave asylum to the most fanatical and militant of them, those who already committed crimes and terror in their homecountries in the name of Allah and were sentenced to death: We gave them protection, welfare, asylum and what did we get in return? Look at Abu Hamza, remember the case of Kaplan, the Imam of Cologne? Look at our Mufti of Sydney, 'Sheik Halali'- another lunatic who should have never been allowed to immigrate in the first place.
Thanks to Keating, thanks to labor we have now half a million winching & whining muzzies, ready to organize militant demonstrations at the drop of a hat, the churches support them in their naive, idiotic christian 'spirit'- and they do what they always do: Provoke, agitate, try to outbreed us and propagate hatred.
But your average Aussie wouldn't give a hoot unless something bites him in the nose...

Honor,humiliation, the things that bother these people is just ridiculous. The women bear the brunt of their insecurities.

Why are these lunatics even allowed to have cell phones?
Who the hell are they calling?
Pazuzu, demon of sandstorms?
We should never have allowed any higher technology that the spoked wheel to be sold to these 7th century numbnuts.

I would bet Queen Noor is sunning in Cannes with a French boy toy, and pretending she is not a maggot-infested traitor to humanity.
The worst thing in the world is to be born a Muslim woman.

Islamo-phobes , racists and bigots !!!
Good muslims do not do these things , they are not muslims who treat women like dogs on leashes , muslims dont fly airplanes into buildings , nor do they account for 99.9% of C-4 sales .
Islam is a loving religion of peace !
Muslims dont chop off heads ...or hands .
People who do these things are not muslims ! [when they commit such acts ]
Inshallah they are muslims before they commit such acts , but they are NOT muslims WHEN they commit them , and therefore no muslims commit these acts .
They are however , Muslims AFTER they commit such acts .
So you see , muslims are not terrorists and no terrorist is a muslim !
You got us all wrong !!! You are oppressing us .
The 9/11 attacks were not committed by muslims , they were jews disguised as muslims under orders rom George Bush and Sharon .
You're just trying to make muslims look bad so you can steal our land !!
By the way we discovered America and we were on the North pole first . We also taught the Eskimoes to fish .
....and the Moon ? We were there first .

Jail and Lashes for 3 in Camera Phone Sex Assault
Arab News
RIYADH, 7 January 2005 — Two young Saudis have been sentenced by the high court here to prison terms and flogging for orchestrating and filming a Nigerian driver sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl, Al-Watan newspaper reported yesterday.
Judge Muhammad ibn Abdullah Al-Luhaidan sentenced the main defendant, Barjis ibn Faleh, 27, to 12 years imprisonment and 1,200 lashes, while compatriot Abdulrahman ibn Haif, 22, was sentenced to two years and 200 lashes, Al-Watan reported.
“The Nigerian driver who appeared in the film, Youssef Abkar Mohammad Abdullah, was sentenced to a six-year imprisonment and 600 lashes,” the paper said.
The scandal, which shocked the conservative Saudi society, broke out after the accused circulated footage of the assault through mobile phones equipped with cameras.
The trio used the camera phone Panda and distributed the phone clip using Blue Tooth and on websites.
The trio came to be known as the Panda gang.
The phone clip shows the girl pleading as she is assaulted by the driver, while one of the two young men, apparently her former boyfriend, hurls abuse at her.
Legal sources told Al-Watan that the high court’s decision was not final and that the accused could appeal the decision to the supreme judicial council which will issue a final decision.
Sources also told Al-Watan that the lashes would not be delivered at one go but would be distributed every Friday until the punishment is completed.
The two Saudis were arrested last July after the girl’s family lodged a complaint.
Many people in Saudi Arabia had expressed anger at the men’s behavior on Internet sites. They had demanded tough punishment for the three so it will be a lesson to everyone.
Once the video clip was distributed, the police arrested the three gang members and detained them in Al-Sulaimaneya prison for investigation and later transferred to Al-Hayer prison southeast of Riyadh.

Good thing that her family reported it and didn't kill her.
Silvester:
Yes, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope to be taken from this story.
"Now, for the last 50 years, we let our guard down, we forgot our history, we all went flower- power mad"
Lol, then again, how many Aussies could have possibly imagined that something as devious as Islam could have possibly existed? That sort of barbarity was just so far removed from your average Aussie's consciousness that you'd never have expected it to appear on your own doorstep.
But you're right about Keating. Remember how rabid he was about convincing us we're "really part of Asia", to drop the Union Jack, become a republic and all that claptrap? Pretty amazing when you consider we (or at least I) still used to sing "God Save the Queen" at school assemblies in the mid 80s. Leftie losers.

Court finds 68-year-old guilty of murder
By Rana Husseini
AMMAN — A 68-year-old father sentenced to six months in prison in 2002 for killing his daughter had his sentence increased to 10 years last week after the case was returned to the Criminal Court.
Hussein Ahmad, from Hitteen Refugee Camp, was originally sentenced to a six-month prison term by the court in December 2002 after being found guilty of stabbing his 18-year-old daughter Amal 25 times in the chest and stomach on April 21, 2002.
Ahmad murdered his daughter after signing a guarantee at the administrator's office in which he pledged not to harm her.
After a review by the Court of Cassation, the Criminal Court last week overruled the original charge of “misdemeanour” and found Ahmad guilty of premeditated murder.
“The defendant confessed that he plotted to murder his daughter after signing a guarantee that he wouldn't harm her, therefore, he does not benefit from the fit of fury clause used in the previous ruling,” the Court of Cassation ruled.
During the original trial in 2002, the Criminal Court invoked Article 98 of the Penal Code “because the defendant committed his crime in a fit of rage.”
Article 98 stipulates: “He who commits a crime in a fit of fury caused by an unlawful or dangerous act on the part of the victim benefits from a reduction of penalty.”
The Criminal Court sentenced Ahmad to death but immediately commuted the sentence to 10 years because the defendant's family dropped the charges.
Prior to the murder the victim went missing for four weeks and was eventually found in Aqaba by the police, according to the court.
Court transcripts said the defendant received a call from the administrative governor on April 21 to inform him that his daughter was in government custody. The father went to the governor's office where he signed a guarantee not to harm or kill his daughter, the court added.
Shortly after arriving home, according to court transcripts, the defendant admonished his daughter for her behaviour.
But after the girl replied: “It is my life and I am free to do what I want,” the defendant became enraged, drew a switchblade and stabbed his daughter to death. He then went to the nearest police station where he claimed to have killed his daughter to cleanse his family's honour.
Medical officials who examined Amal at the time of the murder said she had not been involved in any sexual activity.
Amal told interrogators when she was in government custody that she often left the house because her father was restricting her mobility.
The verdict, handed down by justices Natheer Hiari, Zuhair Salhi and Azam Obeidat, will automatically be reviewed by a higher court within the next 30 days.
In a second ruling by the same tribunal, the Criminal Court sentenced a 25-year-old man to a seven-and-a-half-year prison term for killing his nephew with a machinegun in June 2002 in Madaba.
The tribunal declared Amer A. guilty of killing his nephew Mahmoud on June 6 following an argument over a plot of land.
But his verdict was immediately commuted to half by the tribunal because the victim's family dropped the charges.
According to court documents, the defendant met the victim in Um Buheira market on the day of the incident and they began arguing about the land owned by the family.
“The victim drew a machinegun and threatened the defendant with it, prompting the defendant to run towards his pickup truck and grab his own machinegun and shoot his nephew to death,” court papers added.
The verdict will automatically be reviewed by a higher court within the next 30 days.
