Why did he do this? It is likely part of his program to destroy Turkish secularism and re-Islamize Turkey. Once again (repeated yet again because of course it is universally denied or ignored): the Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
An another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825
“Turkey quits European accord on violence against women,” DW, March 20, 2021:
President Erdogan has pulled the country out of a Council of Europe accord that provided a legal framework to prevent femicide and promote gender equality.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has withdrawn Turkey from an international accord to prevent violence against women, the country’s official gazette said on Saturday.
The decision comes amid increasing calls in Turkey to combat domestic violence as femicide rates rise.
“The guarantee of women’s rights are the current regulations in our bylaws, primarily our Constitution. Our judicial system is dynamic and strong enough to implement new regulations as needed,” Family, Labour and Social Policies Minister Zehra Zümrüt Selçuk said on Twitter.
What is the accord?
The 2011 agreement, commonly referred to as the Istanbul Convention, was drafted by the Council of Europe in the Turkish city in 2011. It is a legal framework seeking to protect women and promote gender equality through legislation, education and spreading awareness.According to the accord, signatories had to “take the necessary legislative and other measures to adopt and implement state-wide effective, comprehensive and coordinated policies encompassing all relevant measures” to prevent violence against women.
The convention was signed by 45 European countries, plus the EU as an institution.
Women’s rights groups had said Turkish authorities were not applying the legal norms of the Istanbul Convention nor providing the intended assistance and protective measures for women….

What society thinks that half of it less intelligent ??!
It is the Islamic community, gentlemen! The other half is mindless.
mortimer says
Violence against women will increase in Turkey as a result of this. When will the Turkish people try to escape the embrace of this boa constrictor?
Infidel says
May this be the first step towards ending all Turkish hopes of entering the EU, as well as getting it out of NATO
Raja says
It is my hope also Infidel,
The global Left did its best to camouflage a wolf to a sheep and it wouldn’t work. Poor Left, all their efforts towards this goal for many decades has failed.
Islamic supremacy can never be compromised.

I would like to hear what his wife thinks about this topic. What kind of a…… is her husband.
Savvy Kafir says
Those dopey Muslimas who claim that Islam has been a liberating influence for women sure have some ‘splaining to do.
Walter Sieruk says
” President Erdogan has pulled the country out of a Council of Europe accord that provided a legal framework to prevent femicide and promote gender equality..” This jihadwatch article also asked “Ye did he do this ?
The reason is because Erdogan is a devote Muslim who is totally dedicated to Islam and Islam is a religion of brutal cruel vicious oppressive misogyny , against both girls and women.
As one scholar of Islam had explained in her book ” Woman in Islam are considered unclean , deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
[1] THEY MUDT BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel, page 172
.
Brigitte Gabriel is the founder and president of the anti-jihad lobby organization – actforamerica.org
Walter Sieruk says
Well I make another keyboard error. of the title of the book by Brigitte Gabriel is correctly spelled THEY MUST BE STOPPED . By the way, in her book on page 171 under the subtitle that reads “Islam and the mistreatment of women” The reader is informed that “”Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.”
Fred van de Bunt says
Politics is never straight, because of all these overlapping mutually colliding interests, like Turkey being an important member of NATO, and being a member of the European customs Union, and if you read the article in DW it is said, that Erdogan bows to hardliners in his party, that wanted it, and that he is keeping his voters base together.
So women in Turkey just have to get used to getting beaten the shit out of them, because to many important issues are at stake, diplomats will explain to them.
oskar says
What are you babbling about you misogynist dumbass. Which issues can be more important than the violence against women? Those diplomats who are supposed to explain women about those so-called “issues” should better sanction the fascist, nazi goverment of turkey, otherwise women are not interested in their senseless issues.
Get out of here. I had enough of your stupid, complicated comments.
gravenimage says
oskar, your belief that Fred van de Bunt *approves* of this sickening violence against women is mistaken. Fred is a staunch anti-Jihadist.
Please read his post again. It isn’t *that” complicated.
Raja says
Agreed GI

Thanks, Raja.

Islamic minarets are symbols of the misogynist terror. The fascist, genocidal and nazi terrorkey has build more than 40.000 minarets in last 20 years.
I congratulate Switzerland for their anti-minaret decision.
Down with the minarets!
Fight against misogyny!
Stand with Switzerland!

Turkey quits European accord that provided a legal framework to prevent violence against women
……………..
This is sickening, but should not surprise–what is more “un-Islamic” than preventing violence against women?
Note that this was even deemed the “Istanbul Convention” ten years ago in hopes that Turkey would remain part of it.
The Istanbul Conventions seeks to prohibit physical violence against women, stalking, rape, forceed marriage, FGM, forced abortion and sterilization, and “Honor Killings”. The vast majority of these crimes are not only condoned but *sacralized* under Islam.
The rise of re-Islamization in Turkey has gone hand in hand with the rise in violence against women–including the murder of women.
“Murder in Turkey sparks outrage over rising violence against women”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/23/turkey-outrage-rising-violence-against-women
Murders of women in Turkey have more than tripled in the past decade–and real numbers are likely even higher, since many of these killings are (often implausibly) covered up as suicides.
Mike says
I wish the woman would stop having there children 50 to 60 years will will be done with this crap
gravenimage says
Do you think that in a place with forced marriage and sacralization of marital rape that these women can choose to stop having children?
Raja says
So, in Koran you have a condescending culture because one is superior over the “other”.
Islam is the only so called religion that is divisive across all human institutions. Though a Muslim man might not necessarily be violence at home (all the time or even on rare occasions) his overbearing attitude towards his women folks should never be acceptable. The women there must be going through living hell and the global feminists seem to be blissfully unaware of that. May be they don’t want to deal with a “porcupine” (with all respect to porcupine).
Gunter Deleyn says
In fact because of the Caïro Islamic convention of 1990 this women’s rights accord was untenable. According to that treaty which was signed by all Muslim countries universal human rights are subordinate to the sharia in the Muslim countries. Turkey also signed that convention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Declaration_on_Human_Rights_in_Islam
gravenimage says
Yes–the “Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam” is all about Shari’ah law *crushing* actual human rights.
