A young man in Egypt goes to a party seeking drugs and prostitutes, discovers his sister there. He later beats her to death with his younger brother, then stabs and burns her. The brothers were sentenced to a year in jail.Alliance of Civilizations and gender equality, of course. Specially when the brothers have been sentenced to one year in jail. Just to have an idea of proportions: blogger Abdul Karim Soliman was sentenced to 4 years in prison because he allegedly insulted Islam and Mubarak.

Wow. Thank you for posting this Claudia. I believe some Christian in Pakistan recently got life for "supposedly" desecrating a Koran, was it?
Incredible the worth of a woman in Islam. More incredible that the world says nothing and BO even goes to Cairo and tells them how great they are, especially when he dragged US over the coals for slavery in his inaugural address.
@Mighty like a Rose:
The comparison is really shocking, isn't it? For insulting a belief system, you have someone imprisoned for four times, the time the two killer-brothers will serve. When I read the time, though, I didn't get shocked: in Jordan, they can be sentenced to 6 months and in Syria they can be sentenced to 2 years or more.
If they are trying to stop honor killings, certainly they are not enacting the right measures.
About our Govts and societies, they see this as a very far problem or a problem of another community, even when happens here.
@cjk:
Yes, hypocrisy in this kind of acts is outstanding. He can seek drug and prostitutes, she can't. Why? Because he is a male so even if he doesn't fulfill sexual purity requirements, it's OK. She, on the other hand, must be pure, if not she is insulting her family's honor and she should be killed.
It's really a mad reasoning.
They're not at the killing level yet, but they are well entrenched at the starting levels to begin to pull this shit in Europe and Canada.
Just like any degenerate evil both personal and societal; it starts out small or even barely noticeable, but eventually ends up with complete depravity.
Needs to be nipped, no stomped in the bud.
