Jordanian beats daughter to death for wearing makeup in 'honour' killing

1 day ago

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan's prosecutor has charged a man and his two sons for the premeditated murder of his 19-year-old daughter Saturday, in the latest "honour killing" to take place in this conservative desert kingdom.

The man and his two sons were charged with beating to death the daughter for leaving the house in makeup and talking to a stranger, according to prosecutor Salah al-Taleb's indictment sheet.

The father brought his daughter to the hospital after she lost consciousness and turned himself in.

Autopsy showed severe injuries to the head which caused brain hemorrhage and the body was covered with bruises.

If convicted the man could be sentenced to life in jail.

The man comes from the eastern Jordanian town of Zarqa, home of slain Iraqi al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and known for its conservatism.

In Jordan, an average of 20 women are killed by male relatives each year. Men have the final say in all family matters in this largely conservative society, where many consider sex out of wedlock an indelible stain on a family's reputation.

International human rights organizations have condemned honour killings in Jordan and appealed to King Abdullah to put an end to the practice.

The government urged judges to consider honour killings equal to other homicides, punishable with up to life in prison.

But attempts to introduce harsher sentences have been blocked in Jordan's parliament, where the predominantly conservative Bedouin legislators argue that tougher penalties would lead to adultery.

Another example of how much Islam respects women.

Not enough that this woman suffered death by beating from her father, but both of her brothers too.

The most interesting part of this article is the last paragraph, where it states that "Bedouin legislators argued that tougher penalties would lead to adultery".

Maybe, I'm confused, how would that work? 
A man would be more apt to commit adultery, knowing that they would be put to death, instead of spending the rest of their life in jail.

So, I don't get the connection here, between tougher penalties and a higher rate of adultery.

But, why would I understand it.  Nothing that Muslims do is understandable or logical.

why is life in jail not REALLY LIFE?

there was this town near my town and this guy chopped off his sisters head because he thought she wasnt a virgin but it turned out she was... so he got 3 months!!!  can you believe that!  if she turned out to be right he would have been treated like a hero!

So much for the fairy tale that Jordan is a "moderate" Islamic country.

There is no moderate Islam.
