Lebanese Man Impregnates His Sister, Kills Her in 'Honor Crime'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A man has killed his pregnant teenage sister in south Lebanon in what was seen as an honor crime - the murder of a woman accused of shaming her family.
Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) said Friday that the body of Baghdad Khaled al-Issa, 18, was found with stab wounds in her head and sides in the area of al-Wazzani.
Investigators discovered that her brother Jihad, 21, had killed her in what is described as an honor crime, VDL said.
It added that the victim was seven months pregnant.
Later on Friday, LBCI television reported that the investigation with Jihad revealed that he had raped his sister, which lead to her pregnancy.
"He confessed to raping his sister,” LBCI said, adding that Jihad claimed he was drunk when the incident happened.
The television channel added that he had only recently found out about the pregnancy and asked his sister to undergo an abortion, but she refused.
Every year thousands of women are killed for notions of family honor worldwide, mainly in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
In 2011, the Lebanese parliament approved a draft-law to cancel article 562 of the penal code that calls for limited punishments for honor killings.

couldn't agree with you more Leymounehamda. Education could solve so much. Teenager getting pregnant is not honorable but the murder of your sister and her innocent unborn child is honorable? Makes me sick to my stomach. TFEH

Flamer- you hit the nail right on the head. That law needs to go NOW and that the only place politics should be involved in this issue.

He should be tried and if found guilty, he should be punished to the full extent of the law. There is no such a thing as honor crime.

That's premeditated murder of his sister of all people. This low life deserves the death penalty.

Sick to my stomach by such behavior and mentality. I second leymounehamda: education, education, education. It will take a couple of generations to get over that hill but the effort must start immediately. And I second FT as well: article 562 is shameful and belongs to the dark ages and must be scrapped immediately.

This guy should get the death penalty. Where is his honor? Hidden behind pubic hair. What a sick mentality? People like him, don't deserve to live.

'This guy should get the death penalty. Where is his honor? Hidden behind pubic hair. What a sick mentality? People like him, don't deserve to live.'
You are right. People like him don't deserve to live. Neither are rapists, child molesters, abusers, thieves, con artists, adulterers, men who lust on women passing in the street, haters, racists, pimps, drug dealers, men who traffic with humans, blasphemers, perverts, liars...
All deserve death and hell for all eternity!
...
Which one of us is not on this list?
Then let us not judge others, lest we be judged too.
If we are not merciful with others, why would we expect God to be merciful with us?
Think about that.

Wait so you think con artists, thieves, "Men who lust on women passing in the street", haters, racists, perverts and liars deserve to die?
Go back to reading your book you ignorant inbred.
As for the murderer that killed his sister and her unborn child, he should be hanged.
Honor crimes are not welcomed in the 21st century ESPECIALLY in Lebanon.

Servant- If you are against the death penalty in general then just say so but to include con artists and liars in your argument strips away any credibility your argument may contain.

Galation 5:19-23 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

1John 3:8-9 And he that commits sin is of Satan, because Satan was a sinner from the beginning, and for this cause, the son of God (Elohim ) appeared that he might destroy the works of Satan. Everyone that is born of God (Elohim) does not practice sin because his seed is in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God (Elohim).

Nothing happens to the father? I'm talking about the one whom impregnated the victim. He's also a sinner.... unless men are above the law in their retarded minds.

The missing point, deliberately or not by the report or the commentators is this crime only exist in Sunnis, Wahabbi culture. It does not happen in Iran (Iran has its own problem though) and never used to happen in Syria. Why rarely to happen in Syria? of course before we had the peace-loving terrorist roaming the country.The answer is, the Baath party made it mandatory education for every child until high school in 1969. and the carrot and stick policy was a successful ones to deter Sunnis men from trying to mess with the law. When your country has freaks, you introduce freak-related law and with education and time we have established no-hate, no-honor killing in Syria by the year 2001.

What you are saying is true, education is great. However, The Baath made education mandatory in order to indoctrinate the Baath ideology.
The goal of education should be to teach, rather than to indoctrinate students in a narrow set of political beliefs. We saw its failure in the USSR and we are now expreriencing its failure in Syria.
What the Baath did for education in Syria does not justify the oppression and the killing the regime did and continue to do.
What you said about Sunnis and Wahhabi culture is an overgeneralization. These kind of crimes exist in many cultures Muslims or not. It is more of a tribal tradition than a religious one.

@mancunian
Thank you for your comment.
I have a few things to say:
Yes I believe EVERYONE who sins deserves death. That what we DESERVE. If you have a problem with this, you have a problem with the whole Bible. But if you noticed how I apply this truth, it is not in giving death penalty to people, but rather in realizing how sinful I am, how sinful we all are.
You call me 'ignorant inbred', but I wonder how you know what right and wrong is. What is your way of measuring right from wrong, or good and evil? I am not being sarcastic, I am actually interested to know.

dear brother,
Please read again of each of my messages.
I told you what sinners DESERVE. I did not say that it ends there. I actually spoke of mercy and Grace, and how WE ought to be merciful. If me saying we should have mercy on a sinner is called 'hate', then your measure of conscience is way off. It seems you confuse exposing sin with hating the sinner.
By the way, FT, if you knew me, you would not have said what you said. But you don't know me, and this is why you understood exactly the opposite of what I said.
Jesus did come to save the sinners.
But those who do not accept Jesus as their savior, are not saved, and their sins remain. And woe to whomever will still be carrying his sins on judgment day...

Stargate, a typical Islamist apologist. The culture of Lebanon is Lebanese, except for those who adhere to Farsi, Salafi, etc. Always using the priest scandal huh, well go talk to the priests who are in prison and become outcasts in their community. Unlike honor killers and other killer barbarians who go free in another non-Christian faith...

Has the killer been too sensitive, or is Lebanon now complying with the shariah laws instead of Lebanese crusader civilized ones?

To my knowledge Lebanon is the only country in the backward world that makes honor killings a crime, as it should be!
Thanks to Sami Gemayel who rectified this injustice last year.

What a sick disgusting human being this coward is . Raping his sister while he was and murdering her because she fell pregnant is an honour killing? What honour is there in killing your sister? The only honour would have been killing yourself you bastard. Unfortunately we will somehow have to listen to the bullshit of the religious figures on the dangers alcohol. He did it because he was drunk. Lets go blow up an liquor store!

If Lebanon existed under the rule of law, Mr. Jihad would be tried for capital murder for raping his sister and then killing her. There is no honor in victimizing a woman by raping her and then killing her, using his rape as a justification for his act of murder.
If he gets off, shame on all Lebanon

Lebanon was recently a Christian country. Turn back to the religion of love and mercy and give up the evil that excuses the worst crimes in the world: sex crimes - murder crimes - and crimes against your very own family. This man has transgressed against all that is human and against God who is love.
Let go of the evil logic which blames rape victims and innocent children. Leave islam if you have any heart or conscience. You see for yourself that these deeds against girls and babies are from the devil.
God is love. Only those who live by love alone follow God.
