In the past four months, six Muslim women living in Berlin have been brutally murdered by family members. Their crime? Trying to break free and live Western lifestyles. Within their communities, the killers are revered as heroes for preserving their family dignity. How can such a horrific and shockingly archaic practice be flourishing in the heart of Europe? The deaths have sparked momentary outrage, but will they change the grim reality for Muslim women?So where is the proper balance between tolerance and persecution? The German government should be partly blamed for treating the Turks as second class residents, as many of them have been forbidden citizenship. However, blame is not going to solve the problem. Punishment of these schoolkids will help. If they are not punished for fear of "racism," another generation, far worse than this one, will grow up with these religious idiocies in their heads.
Enlisting Turkish cops with proven sensible track records is a start to eliminating the problem. People talk, and if there is someone there to listen, we can understand the full extent of the problem and come up with solutions. Fear is what keeps people from talking about this problem. Trust will come with properly trained cops.
The German government should pass a law categorizing these "honor" murders as a separate class of murders, much like hate crime is categorized in the US. It will distinguish these types of murders from the actions of common thugs and will bring more attention to the problem. Fathers who order their sons to kill their daughters should be punished in the same manner as their sons.
Why are these people in Germany? Were they forced out of Turkey for their extreme beliefs? Perhaps the German government can work out some deportation plan for families whose daughters are in jeopardy?
Bottom line is there are many actions that can be taken that don't overstep the boundaries of tolerance while at the same time move closer to eliminating this religious psychosis that plagues Turkish women in Germany, but action needs to be taken quickly lest these boys who taunt grow up.
oh, so it is the government's fault. typical leftwing BS. try blaming the perps for a change!!
ReplyDeleteSOMETHING causes this, otherwise you would have a majority of people doing it. It's a recent phenomenon. The Turks in Germany HAVE been treated poorly by Germany. They were not able to integrate into German society because they weren't even allowed to become citizens in many cases.
ReplyDelete"Blaming the perps" isn't going to stop it from happening. Since the private sector is not taking the lead in stopping it, the gov needs to step in and do something. Are you against hiring more police to prevent these things from happening?
are the Turks "allowed" to go home?
ReplyDeletethrow enough perps in jail, people get the message....
That is just what I said, yet you try to dispute it. More cops, more prison, more deportation. Man, you really need to learn to read.
