A woman who consorts with a man her family doesn't approve of is virtually certain to be killed sooner or later in the Muslim World to preserve "family honor."

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

The man, who apparently killed her because she refused to marry him, was arrested immediately."

“Jordanian authorities recorded a total of 17 so-called “honor” killings in 2007”

Either they are counting all of them or something. Seems to me we have that many “honor” killings in a large city here yearly if not more. Not Muslim, but any faith or non-faith.
