2·1 year agoThis is from 4 days ago. https://nltimes.nl/2025/06/30/brothers-still-deny-involvement-18-year-old-sisters-honor-killing
I only learnt about it today
What label did I put on which people?
I never said anything bad about a single group of people, I simply want to shine light on the fact that honour killings and genital mutilations needs to stop, and that women should be treated as equals.
It has less to do with religion and more to do with culture, there are Christian, Muslim and Atheistic cultures that discriminate against women, neither of them should be tolerated.
There are cultures where female genital mutilation is commonplace, and that has little to do with religion. Hundreds of thousands of women in Europe are put through this, just like honour killings, we need to raise awareness that this is happening and put a stop to it.
I get these news sources might not be perfect.
It’s not like these things are uncommon, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/honor-killing-convictions-woman-stabbed-in-front-daughter-netherlands/
Here is another source found in a local dutch newspaper https://www.omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/415004/ook-vader-van-ryan-18-wordt-vervolgd-voor-ombrengen-dochter
How many news sources do you need? There is probably not a single news source out there that somebody won’t be able to find fault in.

Fair but other sources also cover it: https://nltimes.nl/2025/02/07/18-year-old-honor-killing-victim-tied-drowned-lelystad-prosecutors-say

Edit: I’ve added these sources to the post
