Penis punishment restores honor: Jordanian sodomizes wife's lover, slits throat, and takes penis trophy

"A Jordanian who confessed to killing his wife's alleged lover cut off the man's penis before putting it in a bag and handing it over to police, a judicial official said on Monday."

"The suspect then tied up the alleged lover, sodomised him and slit his throat before cutting off his penis."

"As one of many Lebanese, we grew up with the comedy of Abu Salim and Fahman and their funny adventures...."

"Today I bring you this sad news, Actor Mahmoud Mabsout passed away while he was on tour with Abu Selim band in the South of Lebanon. He died of a heart attack on stage."

"I might not be a mother, but at least I understand the never-ending dilemma of mothers and the lack of sleep, or so I thought. For after having to sleep beside my two nieces last night, I knew I didn’t even know the half of it."

Just for laughs (Sometimes doom and gloom can tickle your funny bone)

And other honor crimes from the proud Hashemite Kingdom. It's been quite a week for so-called honor killings. Let's see now: One cuckolded husband barbarically brutalized his wife's lover - through sodomy, throat-slitting, and cold-blooded murder, then wielding his victim's dismembered penis to the police authorities.

A father stabbed his daughter to death because she was late bringing him his coffee.

And now this - the killing of a sister for being tricked into sex by a false suitor who 'dishonored' his promised to marry her after fornication. So in summary, crimes worthy of honor-punishments include delayed coffee and falling for a man with dishonorable intentions.

“Administrative detention’ is when a women is kept in a minimum security prison to keep her family from killing her for honor. Indefinitely. So essentially, the de facto sentence for alleged fornication is life in prison, or death. For women only, of course."

"I note today with neither joy nor vindication a further worsening of their relationship. Specifically, an Iraqi MP has accused Kuwait of stealing Iraq’s oil with ‘slant drilling’. This comment, as infuriating as it is by itself, is all the worse given the historical resonance with which it is loaded loaded: Saddam Hussein said the same thing as one of his pretexts for invading Kuwait."
