Jordan “Honor” Killing: Man Stabs Sister To Death, Drives Over Body With Truck To Make Sure She’s Dead Because Of “Suspicious Behavior”…

Nothing to do with Islam.
(AFP) — A Jordanian man was charged on Wednesday with killing his divorced sister after stabbing her and driving his truck over her body several times because of her alleged “suspicious behavior,” police said.
“The suspect, in his forties, was charged with premeditated murder after confessing to the crime, claiming his divorced sister had indulged in suspicious behavior,” a police spokesman told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The crime took place early on Wednesday in the northern Greco-Roman city of Jerash.
“The man stabbed the woman and then took her to a deserted area where he repeatedly ran over her body to make sure she was dead,” the spokesman said.
Murder is punishable by death in Jordan, but in so-called “honor killings,” courts can commute or reduce sentences, particularly if the victim’s family asks for leniency.

This (Honor KIlling) is not related to Islam.It is a tribal tradition which unfortunately still exist. Islam has set pacific rules for adultery for both men and women. This mindless killing is another injustice infected upon women. In some cases this killing takes place not because of (honor) or adultery , but only fir the man to get rid if his sister and take her part of inhertence ...bloody greed. Kindly do your part of researching.
Razan, I can see your point that not all deaths can be attributed to Islamic customs and beliefs, that sometimes people do get murdered over greed, jealousy and adultery.
But, with radical clerics continually pushing Shari law and a jihad against Israel and the west and with radical Islamist showing video the beheadings of Christians and the stoning/executions of women for adultery, Islamist strapping on bombs to murder innocent women and children, you can understand how people in the west can believe that all people who subscribe to the radical teachings from the Koran can draw a profile that all Islamist are radicals, can’t you?
