The year is only at its peak and Austria could already record 17 murders of women. A Syrian has been suspected of murdering his girlfriend since yesterday. If you want to take the case seriously, you should also talk about the nationality of the perpetrators.
It is true that most of the perpetrators of murders and attempted murders of women are Austrians. That makes sense, because Austrians make up the majority of the population. However, according to a study, perpetrators with a migration background are significantly over-represented in murders of women compared to their share in the total population. This is also a fact that cannot be ignored. In fact, it should be addressed openly!
Body found in Simmering, believed to be Syrians
A Syrian would be the suspected perpetrator of the body found yesterday in Vienna Simmering. The Viennese police assume a relationship act, both would have stayed in a homeless shelter. When the Syrian woke up, the 28-year-old Austrian was already dead, he claims to have recorded…
Another Syrian, another relationship act
The latest murder of a woman in Vienna took place last week. The suspected perpetrator in the picture: another Syrian who jumped out of the window after the bloody crime. The motive: It should have been another relationship act. The victim, a 28-year-old, leaves behind three children. She died of numerous stab wounds from a knife…
Please don’t twist the facts!
The fact that Syrians have been named as alleged suspects in the case of dead women twice in just over a week cannot be accepted with a shrug. It would be a glorification of the facts if the problematic image of women in many cultures were not also addressed in relation to the murder of women. These people come from countries where women are stoned to death for “marriage offenses”!
What machos and Islamists have in common
Of course there are also macho misogynists among Austrians whose understanding of women is worthless. They are also a problem, and their gross views need to be rectified – that alone is a huge task. But anyone who is really interested in a better image of women in our society should not belittle Islamist-patriarchal tendencies. Otherwise nothing will ever change!
