Jury finds Jordanian immigrant guilty of capital murder in Houston ‘honor killings’

By Brian Rogers, Houston Chronicle, July 26, 2018

The local TV station's headline isn't bad either:

A Jordanian man has been found guilty of capital murder in a pair of "honor killings."

On Thursday, a jury found Ali Mahwood-Awad Isran guilty of killing his daughter's husband and her best friend.

Investigators say the killings were driven by Isran's anger over his daughter Nesreen's decision to marry a Christian man.

The case itself is horrifying and disgusting--a Muslim immigrant father committing mass murder (he wanted to kill five people)because his daughter married a Christian--the "welcome change" is that they're calling him an immigrant in the headline.

Since immigrants are a sacralized class, when they do something horrifying, they're called anything but an immigrant. The AP report on this story does not use the "i" word at all, and the headline is:

Jordanian-born man convicted of capital murder
The Associated Press (NYT) July 26, 2018

An earlier Houston Chronicle headline, however, fitted exactly into the MSM template of obfuscation:

Houston father accused in honor killings begins death penalty trial
