Fatin Otoom and 32-year-old Hashem Alaamr renamed their recently started local Jordanian feminist group"Ahlam's Screams" after Ahlam's murder.Fatin said."This is stupidity, enough is enough." Protesters gather in front of the Jordanian Parliament building chanting demands for changes in Jordan's laws punishing those involved in honor killings.Several petitions regarding honor killings have gone viral, including one with 12,000 signatures demanding changes to articles 98 and 99 of the Jordanian constitution.

What a suppressed society of women, get these women some guns and bullets please!!!!

Such a peaceful religion!!!

May ahlam rest is peace and her killers die slowly and in pain. I hate 'mudslims'.

2020 this still takes place. That's why in the free world we are more fortunate than these belief. I wonder if these men know it's a woman that is their mother!

That is what “Islam” is. 🇺🇸 still time to learn base of Islam. 🇺🇸 is too quick to be politically correct. Such killing happened in 🇺🇸 many times by Islamic family. If they do not kill here they take daughter to home country n kill there. Claim accidental. Horrible.

Not one word in that story it was Muslim honor killing and what that so called religion allows!

Where's the video.

Heartbreaking this happens all the time in many parts of the world 😢

Is this what Biden wants being taught in our schools lol. Yikes

This is how religious states do business. Lunacy. And Trump “christians” 🙄are steamrollimg America towards the same type of shit.

Coming soon to the USA, via Minnesota, courtesy of Ilhan Omar. Buckle up bitches.

Im not even interested in the video. This is a normal and respectable thing they do in their eyes. Entire families will plot and kill a woman in their family if they do something disrespectful.

Religion enables and justifies this sort of horror.

Sick 1st world country

This is horrible. Why do men think they have a right to do something like this and this includes men in any country who abuse women. Who gave “man” this right to tell us how we should behave, what we should wear, what jobs we should be allowed to enter. Etc...etc.

You think that's bad- in America, women have all the same rights as men do but pretend they don't.

People act offended yet this is Islam. This is going to be going on in our country soon. It's ok tho because they ain't Christian?

Honor killing should be punishable by public flogging.

There’s no place for such evil logic as honor killing of ones own daughter in Jordan not anyplace in the 21st century.

Woah wtf

This guy posted in the article is on point

Mais c'est quoi cette Gd Merd.

Religion, killing even more people than greed.

This is disgusting. Headline should focus on the killer! The women who protest are brave and do so at risk while woke Americans pat themselves on the back for throwing temper tantrums, injuring more people and destroying their own communities.

That us want religion does to people

Wow

In a place where her daughter can be killed for honor, what would you expect her to do 😒

what the actual fuck?

Evangelicals are far worse than this.... Trump is what they've done to you.

This sh!t gotta stop. It’s 2020

Yet JoeBiden aligns with CARE who wants Islamic extremists & Sharia law in USA!

How can a father beat his child to death with a brick. This is what happens to society when you don’t move forward. We’d be in the same position in America if it wasn’t for activists who always fought for equality.

🤬🤬🤬

I'll never understand how anyone could do this. This is traditional honor in the Islamic MENA. Naw, I'd proudly be dishonorable. Fuck your honor

They would be screaming for help too. They are such hypocrites.

they are savages and needed to be punished

newschannelnine Sure that wasn't in Portland?

It’s just straight up murder.

Joe biden wants American children to learn about the beautiful and peaceful islamic faith in our public schools. Let that sink in.

We should invite as many Muslims into this country as possible.

'Honor killing'has a middle eastern tribal background. Most of M.E ers r Muslims but never stopped others to commit such crimes. Years ago a man killed his sister for converting to Islam for a guy.Tribal authorities covered with religions are beyond disaster in social justice.

but it’s the religion of peace?

This is not new Why are you showing this NOW? What the hell can we do RIGHT NOW except get pissed off and confused. There isn't a damn thing we can do but get angrier and more confused. CUT OUT THE SHIT

Crazy

The evil is beyond nauseating

There is no honor in killing your own child.

My Middle Eastern friends in Canada allow their wives and daughters to do what they like, including western style clothing. They are also muslims. Honor killing is just a stupid act by some stupid people who don’t really understand their religion.

This world is nuts

Barbarians. Deserve severe punishment.

This is evil.

How does their “honor” get reinstates once their daughter is dead? Is it advertised to let ppl know? Why isn’t anything changing in these countries? So sad

There is true evil in this world.

💔

Jordan, like dead end Saudi Arabia, is an ally of rich corporate capitalist white supremacists. Nothing will change.

Backward societies still do this kind of thing. Its deranged.

And we have grown men crying over sports in this country.

I can’t watch but this is absolutely appalling - this poor human being. This girl deserves justice - we should stop using this term HonourKillingisnotaterm justiceforvictim

Evangelicals pretend as if they're better than this. 🤣

Outrageous!

We can illegally invade Portland but not show outrage here

💔

It’s just their culture

Yet we stay silent on the Chinese genocide of ughyer muslims

Frightening video shows tourist trip, fall while fleeing charging bison in YellowstoneOnlookers repeatedly scream to 'play dead' while the bison charges the woman and smells her as she lies on the ground for a few moments. The bison eventually runs away on its own and the woman's companion approaches and helps her up. I don’t understand these people. I was in Yellowstone last fall and the bison came very close to our car, but at no time was I was stupid enough to personally get close enough to let one charge me. What is wrong with people?
