Jordan: Man Gets a Whopping Six Month Jail Sentence in Daughter's Honor Killing....

Nothing to do with Islam....

AMMAN, Jordan: A Jordanian court has sentenced a man to six months in jail after convicting him of the honor killing of his 16-year-old daughter.

The court ruled Wednesday that the man killed his married daughter because she had an affair out of the wedlock. The enraged father severely beat her with a baton and ultimately electrocuted her in November 2006.

Like other tribal-oriented Islamic societies, many Jordanians consider sex out of the wedlock an indelible stain on the family's honor that can only be cleansed by blood.
