Although Turkish human rights defenders were protesting the murder and abuse of women by men, the judge ranted on that “The number of men getting killed is double the number of women. So what? Should we also demonstrate?”
“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan withdrew Turkey from the convention on March 20, despite high statistics of violence targeting women in the country.” Turkey’s withdrawal represented a commitment to Islamization. The Quran and Hadith teach that men are superior to women and that men should beat those women from whom they “fear disobedience.” Read more HERE.
“Femicides and violence against women are serious problems in Turkey, where women get killed, raped or beaten every day.” But that is of no concern to the judge, who is in step with his own government. And not a word from Western feminists about this.
Erdogan made his country’s views about women in Islam crystal clear in July when he declared with reference to the Taliban: “Turkey has nothing that contradicts their beliefs.”
“Turkish judge draws criticism for saying women should not demonstrate against femicide,” Stockholm Center for Freedom, December 31, 2021:
A judge at the İstanbul 58th Penal Court of First Instance sparked criticism from women’s rights activists after saying during a hearing that women should not be demonstrating against femicide.
According to the Duvar news website, the judge said men were also murdered every day but that they did not mobilize and demonstrate. “The number of men getting killed is double the number of women. So what? Should we also demonstrate?” he asked.
The controversial remark was made during the hearing of 35 women who were standing trial for demonstrating against femicide on March 8, 2020 in a “Femicide Night March” in Istanbul’s Beyoğlu district. The women were accused of violating the law on demonstrations, preventing the police from carrying out their duties and damaging public property.
During the hearing defendant Zeynep Büşra Islak said she was exercising her constitutional right to peacefully demonstrate. “The police forcefully detained us while we were peacefully demonstrating,” she said. “I don’t accept any of the accusations.”
Emel Karadeniz, another defendant, said women were being killed, raped and arbitrarily fired from their jobs every day. “I wish we could demonstrate with more women,” she said. “You [the judge] are also free to demonstrate if you think authorities should do more to prevent the killing of men.”
The defendants said they were also protesting Turkey’s withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention, the Council of Europe’s binding treaty to prevent and combat violence against women.
They pointed out that the state had failed to protect women by withdrawing from the convention, an international accord designed to protect women’s rights and prevent domestic violence in societies.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan withdrew Turkey from the convention on March 20, despite high statistics of violence targeting women in the country and drawing condemnation from Turks and the international community….

What joy it must bring to a Muslim woman to think that she is a man’s abusable property in this life and a component of his harem in the next due to random chance at conception.
Before Islam, Arabs were burying female babies in the sand to preserve resources. After “Muhammad” arrived, Arabs conducted war against unbelievers for booty and expansion; bringing home sex slaves, some as additional wives. The status of women did not improve much – from being killed for being born to domestic abuse and domestic slavery under Islam.
Most Muslim men have become enlightened yet every Muslim man who wishes to be a controller of women has a ready ally in Islamic doctrine.
Men like Erdogan and the judge mentioned in the article might be described by: “For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.” — James 1:24
Infidel says
The contention that before islam, Arabs were burying their daughters in the sand has been contested by Ali Sina, theorizing that this is one more of those tropes created by the muslims to discredit their pre-islamic predecessors. It’s not far fetched: muslims have lied about Christian and Jewish beliefs in the qur’an, so what makes one think that they wouldn’t lie about the Arab pagans?
But this trend in Turkey does reveal things: on one hand, non-muslim girls & women are encouraged to convert to islam so that they can both be additional baby factories, as well as be deprived to their menfolk so that their original communities cannot grow. In the meantime, muslims feel free to slaughter their own women
If China is the Nazi Germany of our era, Turkey is the Fascist Italy of our era

“…contested by Ali Sina, theorizing that this is one more of those tropes created by the muslims to discredit their pre-islamic predecessors.”
Yes, Infidel, it well may be. Islam is an original, “Cancel Culture”.

Moreover, even if Islam was serious in preventing this form of female infanticide–the *only* decent thing I can find in the texts of Islam, incidentally–it was hardly the first to condemn this. Infanticide violates the morals of Judaism and Christianity, as well.
Keith O says
A survey was carried out by the UN human rights watch on the treatment of women in strict Islamic countries.
Of the 20,000 women interviewed, when asked about how they are treated by Islamic law, %100 replied.
I CAN’T COMPLAIN.

Grimly amusing.

Turkish judge: ‘Women should not demonstrate against femicide’
……………….
If you can’t demonstrate *against murder* you surely cannot demonstrate against other violations of your rights.
Women do not evern have the right to live in Islam.

Firstly, I rather doubt these figures. Then, I’m sure most of these Turkish men are being killed by other men, not by women. Then, most of them are not being killed on the diktats of Islam, as are these women. Murderers of men (unless the victims are non-Muslims) are prosecuted in Turkey.
Not so with men “Honor Killing” women–in fact, cases like this in Turkey are regularly dismissed.

And as Turkey re-Islamizes, these cases are becoming more common.

So, according to the feature article, the Turkish judge said that ‘Women should not demonstrate against femicide’
So a demonstration by women in Turkey has to be preapproved by a Turkish judge?

A few months ago Turkey withdrew from the violence against women treaty–despite its being signed in Istanbul. Of course it was “un-Islamic”.
