Dishonouring sister by 5 gun shots is an Honor killing for Jordanian brother

Another bleak tale of someone 'honoring' their family by dishonoring the name of their village, or country and arguably humanity:
"Criminal Court Prosecutor Mohammad Tarawneh on Wednesday charged a minor with the premeditated murder of his older sister in Tafileh on Monday for reasons related to family honour, official sources said."

Carnage in Cairo, once more:

"Clashes erupted in Tahrir Square in Cairo between police and anti-government protesters who were calling for the prosecution of former officials to be speeded up. Riot police fired tear gas to try to disperse the protesters, many of whom hurled stones at the police lines. The following photos were taken yesterday June 29, between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm."

"Did the Syrian Ba’athist regime suddenly wake up to what may seem to them a bitter reality? Did they finally accept that reality? Did they accept that reality and are trying to avoid it? Are their recent actions just a response to events and an attempt to maneuver past what seems to them obstacles that face their total domination of all aspects of life in Syria? Those are all questions that one might think about when considering the current events that are taking place in Syria."

Joshua Landis consults the Syrian voice:

"Many Opposition Members have argued that the business elite of Syria will abandon the regime down the road when Syria’s economic troubles grow deeper. I have asked a number of readers to explain how they think the Syrian business elite will react in the future."

"Before I proceed, let me emphasize the word “reducing.” The following list is by no means a guaranteed obliteration of all unwanted verbal or physical advances. But I can tell you, after solo and group expeditions in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, UAE, Oman, Jordan, that I have picked up a few tips that have been invaluable. My awakened consciousness about this issue was drastically shaped by a summer in Damascus four years ago."

With blogging, comes ranting- it's in the territory, or the nature of diary, journalling and soliloquy (the oral version).

"Sometimes you wonder how certain people ended up being part of your life,I mean regardless of the extreme shallowness,the incredibly low IQ level,the huge ego and chronic self centered syndrome...regardless of all of that...I just cannot stand the lack of manners,the extreme audacity,the unbelievable faith and trust of the fact that the human race was created to serve you and keep you comfortable,I just cannot take that.."
