Chahinez Murder: Unveiling Islamic Beliefs Behind French ‘Femicide’ Facade
27th March 2025
The trial of Mounir Boutaa has just opened in Bordeaux. This man is accused of killing his wife Chahinez Daoud in 2021 after abusing and beating her, dousing her with petrol, and burning her alive.
He took responsibility for his actions in advance: “At least his honour would be cleared and in prison, he would be seen as a man, whereas now he would be seen as a faggot,” a friend of Chahinez explained Boutaa’s reasoning.
The death of the 31-year-old woman came after a long series of complaints and alerts that went unheeded by police and courts. For some, it is an ‘archetypal femicide.’ But few voices are willing to denounce this atrocious crime as the result of an immigration from alien culture that France—and Europe—is utterly unprepared for and incapable of handling.
French institutions, mirroring a broader issue across Western Europe, have embraced multiculturalism and mass migration while failing to ensure that migrants integrate and uphold Western European values—leading to this all too familiar tragedy.
