Honour killing in Jordan is the result of the ignorance of the people in the middle East generally and the Jordanians of all origions " Paletinains and Bedwens" espicially. though the Jordanian Governments of the Hashimiat absolute power monarchy have never educated the people or made them a ware how ugly this crime is. this is because of a simple reason that the monarch of Jordan is very keen to keep his people in ignorance, retardation, and in social deficiencies by praising social diseases and old inherted culture in the name of tribalization and nationalism, patriotism, fundamintalism of extreme conservatives, and radicalism. this will make the people of the Middle East easy to be rolled by their corrupted fascist regimes. when the society is culturally deficient, the society is aimless, usless, and functionless and as result cant change or resist any thing imposed on it. The regimes in Jordan imposes a very harsh punishments for critisizing the royal family; punishments may reach upto 20 or more years in jail, and if course tolerate the killing of women in the name of Honour. the Jordanian King claims that the people should start the change..., also the Jordanian Queen adresses the west in women impowerment while this ugly practice is normaly tolerted by herself and her husband Dictatorship... Please read the report of Amnesty and human rights watch for more info.
