Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, a Jordanian immigrant found guilty of honor killings, could now face the death penalty.
A Texas jury convicted Irsan of killing his daughter's American husband and an Iranian women's rights activist in what prosecutors described as "honor killings."
Prosecutors say Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan was enraged when Nesreen Irsan left home to marry a Christian and convert to Christianity, so he orchestrated the killings of his son-in-law and his daughter's close friend who had encouraged the marriage.
"Honor and shame, that's what this is all about," special prosecutor Anna Emmons told jurors. "You heard him say honor is a big deal to him. And the only way to clean that honor is to kill."

Irsan faces life in prison or the death penalty.
Irsan testified that his daughter caused his family pain after running away to marry Beavers, and that Bagherzadeh had encouraged the union.
Nesreen Irsan testified that her father forbade her from dating Christians. She said she went to court to obtain a protective order to stop her family from harassing her after she moved in with Beavers.
Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan acknowledged that he violated the protective order by continuing to call his daughter and drive near Beavers' home. But he said he was concerned his daughter was on drugs and making bad decisions.
Among the nearly 100 witnesses in the trial was Irsan's wife, Shmou Alrawabdeh, who testified last week that her conservative Muslim husband believed he had to kill Beavers to restore his honor. She told the jury that Irsan sneaked into Beavers' apartment and shot him to death.
Alrawabdeh was also charged in the case, but she pleaded guilty to a lesser kidnapping charge in exchange for testifying against Irsan.

F your “honor”! You bass ackwards, Stone Age, cave dwelling POS! You DO NOT belong amongst civilized society in any country.
With any luck, a shiv between the ribs will end his days.
I am amazed that the Snowflake Capitol of Texas, otherwise known as Houston, found a jury that would convict a Muslim of anything ...
I’ve watched a few yard attack videos.
The neck and temple punctures really stand out.
One can only hope.

Thank you for saying what I was too lazy to type. Hopefully my fellow Houstonians/Texans will put this POS on the gurney posthaste. He’s taking up someone else’s oxygen. Damn, I wish they’d bring the chair back.........grrrrrr

There’s still a lot of us here that are holding on for dear life BlueLancer and you saw that in the quick verdict. Have faith.......;)
"You heard him say honor is a big deal to him. And the only way to clean that honor is to kill."
Texas, take the convicted murderer at his word, clean your state's honor.
There’s no Honor in Killing your family ,string him up
Excellent news!
Don’t worry, some judge will rule that since the jury was not composed of all conservative Muslims he did not get a fair trial. </sarcasm>
Don’t get me started on judges. They’re some of the most dangerous people on earth when it gets right down to the matter........pray for President Trump that he may by some miracle get as many Conservative and legally sharp minds as possible on as many courts as possible.
Murder is murder
Is impaling an option as a method of execution?
Grrrrrrr is right! I am so DONE with our “betters” thinking these invaders are just misunderstood. We understand them completely and know what needs to be done. And our ahole politicians think they are going to be able to control these people??? They are savages beyond repair or redemption. They’ll cut the heads off of any politician in a nanosecond, when their numbers reach critical mass. They need to cease to exist on this planet. (Politicians too!)
