Another Honor Killing in Jordan That has Nothing to do With Islam.....

A Jordanian man has been charged with premeditated murder after his 35-year-old daughter was shot dead in an apparent honor killing, a judicial source said on Thursday.

"The suspect was arrested on Wednesday following a complaint by his other daughter that he killed and buried her sister several months ago in the (northern) city of Rasta," the source told AFP.

Jordanian authorities recorded a total of 17 so-called honor killings in 2007, slightly up on previous years.
