More Muslim Peace: Honor Killing Du Jour.

Yet another example of how much value Islam places on women: Hat tip to Joe Gringo!


Less than a year in jail for butchering his sister


This is tragic, but not surprising as they keep unfolding the horrors of Islam.

Honor Killings: Murder in the Name of Tradition

[Amman, Jordan] Two years ago, Hussnia, 22, was abducted, sodomized and raped by a group of men who abandoned her in a remote house in the Jordan Valley. Stigmatized for a crime of which she was the victim, Hussnia was unaware that the worst was yet to come.

While Hussnia was bedridden, licking her wounds in a nearby hospital, her mother, father and sisters all refused to visit her. A few days after being released from hospital, Hussnia fell victim to another attack – this one fatal. The attacker was her younger brother, Zaki, who charged at her with an axe and struck her repeatedly until she was dead. Zaki triumphantly declared to his stern looking father and helpless mother that he had just cleansed the family honor.

“I know she was not to blame for being raped, but would the relatives and neighbors understand? As far as they are concerned, she is not a virgin anymore. That was enough reason to take her life,” says Zaki, who refused to even utter his sister’s name.

When Zaki went to court, the judge sentenced him to less than one year in prison. “Killing my sister was not the happiest day of my life, but if I had to, I would do it again,” says the defiant Zaki. “I could not imagine my or my father’s life if we did not do it.”

Yah, hard to imagine, I've got four words for you......."you're going to hell".
