Another Islam honor killing towards a family member

[~~whimsy~~]

A Jordanian man confessed to killing his 16-year-old niece to save his family’s “honour” after she was sexually assaulted, a judicial official said today.

The 43-year-old fired 30 machine-gun rounds in the direction of the girl yesterday, killing her instantly, at Deir Alla, west of the capital Amman, said the official who requested anonymity.

The man confessed to the murder, saying he did it to “cleanse the family honour” over suspicions of “bad behaviour” after the girl “lost her virginity a month ago in a sexual assault by a young man aged 17,” said the same source.

The girl’s family later married her off to a cousin “to conceal the facts,” the official added, stressing that the suspect in the sexual assault was being tried.

Prosecutors have charged the uncle with “premeditated murder.” Murder is punishable by death in Jordan but in so-called “honour killings” courts can commute or reduce sentences, particularly if the victim’s family asks for leniency.

Between 15 and 20 women are murdered in honour killings each year in the kingdom, despite government efforts to curb such crimes.

Just shoot the guy once a day for every bullet he put in his niece starting at his feet moving on up.

Wow. Sexualluy assaulted then killed by her dad.

I thought girls who had been sexually assaulted where victims. Seems like their are gulty. That girl probably went out with some clothes that were too sexy. I mean, anything not covering her from head to toe...

Don't forget she was married off to her cousin as well.

Her dad???

It clearly states Uncle. Unless he was married off to his sister and Father/Uncle is a loose title for him...

Hey, let's all remember to respect the quirky customs that are part of the "beautiful" culture of our towel-headed friends. Keep in mind that when they aren't killing their own family members, or randomly blowing shit up.......what was I saying?.......oh yeah, they are a religion of peace.

 

[meesterperfect]

many aspects of that culture are inferior.
this is one example.

 

[Johan]

Even during Middle-Ages uncles would have killed their daughter "for honor".
This so-called culture is not one, it's noçt even a civilisation.
Bees and ants are more civilised than them...

Sheetheads are lovely people. I love 'em. Then again, I love cold toilet seats too.

Let's all take this opportunity to celebrate diversity. Yeah man, muslims are really groovy people man.

It's important to note that honour killings are a result of cultural teachings and not religious ones, not to take away how barbaric they actually are. The very title of this thread is misleading as the people that carry out these 'honour' killings often happen to be muslims (the most backwards countries are generally muslim), but they don't commit these crimes because of Islam or its teachings, if that makes any sense. In backwards parts of India you'll see honour killings involving Sikhs and Hindus as well as Muslims, this will be bacause it is CULTURALLY encouraged or some local tribal and not religious authority has allowed it. If you read the article at no point does it mention that this barbaric act was committed because of Islamic teachings, therefore it was unwise of the OP through the title of the thread to imply Islam was somehow responsible, this isn't FOX news or the Daily Mail after all. RIP to the young lady :2 cents:

Imagine when those guys get to paradise only to discover Allah is female (all-knowing, remember?) and really none-too-happy with them...

 

[BlueBalls]

Hey, it's not all bad. At least she's not alive anymore. That's something to be proud of.

 

[LukeEl]

Meh they all can't be Persian, but what are you going to do. Besides I can envision Allah lining all these whacked out Muslim extremists on a plank of wood as he gives them a good boot in the ass all the way down into Hell where all the other relgious nut jobs dwell.

disgusting :violent: I would chop that guy's head with a sword and expose it on the public place

According to Louis Ck that is the goal of the Catholic Church.

I love how totally illogical this whole phenomenon is... Wouldn't these individuals view the assailant as the one trying to dishonor their family? Its just so backwards. And in what way does killing your own family member, for being sexually assaulted nonetheless (from the context of the story it appears they're choosing to use the "nicer" term for "rape") not hurt the honor of your family?

It's a cultural thing...something that we in the West would never understand.
