Books...

A lot of people felt the need to write about these crimes. Felt that they had the power to raise their voices so that the world would wake up one day…

I read two stories till now about these crimes one of them called “The Forbidden Love” and the other one called “Burned Alive -- Souad"

This book by Norma Khouri it talks about a Muslim girl falls in love with a Christian boy in Jordan and their story continues for a while until her dad knows about it and takes some action against it! A love sotry that ends in a tragedy...

While Burned Alive it talks about Souad --a girl falls in love, makes a certain plan to meet her lover until the 4th month when her tummy starts to grow! Souad survived her own death! And as the title shows she was Burned Alive!

I really hope that these crimes would end soon, and that some action would take place to the murderers who kill without even giving a damn if this was their daughter, mother, or even their sister!
