AMMAN, Jordan, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Jordan's parliament voted Monday to reject imposing harsher punishments for men who kill female relatives in what are known as "honor killings".

The BBC said it was the second time since June's elections that the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, quashed such a bill. Honor killings are mostly committed by brothers and fathers against women who have had sex outside of marriage

I'm sorry, but the Islamic world has a lomg way to go before they
can be accepted as part of the civilized world. They are still functioning
somewhere back a couple of centuries B.C.

We have "hate crimes" laws that increase the penalties for violence
aimed even at strangers, but they don't have the balls to stop
guys from murdering their wives or sisters for a sexual indiscretion.

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers?

Now, some expert, tell me there is no difference between Islam and Christianity.
Be objectice. You may not subcsribe to the Christian religion yourself, but you
benefit from living in a society that is influenced by it.

Which place would you prefer to live, Jordan or some evil "oppressor" nation
like the USA?
