A Syrian refugee who fled to the Netherlands has reportedly confessed to murdering his 18-year-old daughter and dumping her body in a canal before fleeing the country in an apparent admission note sent to a Dutch newspaper.

Father-of-nine Khaled al-Najjar, 52, wrote in an email sent to De Telegraaf that he had killed his 18-year-old daughter Ryan al-Najjar, urging the publication to report ‘I am the one who killed’.

The confession did not specify exactly why he had decided to murder his daughter, with al-Najjar writing only that he was ‘very angry with her’, adding: ‘The reason is between me and the judge. I will read that in court’.

But neighbours and friends suspect Ryan’s death came as the result of an honour killing, with one claiming they had previously sheltered her when she had fled the family home in fear of retribution from her father.

Requesting anonymity to prevent any backlash, they told De Telegraaf that Ryan had a Dutch boyfriend, wanted to stop wearing a headscarf and had been beaten by her father who disagreed with her adoption of a Western lifestyle.

    It has less to do with religion and more to do with culture

    No. It’s far right religious extremism…

    You’re taking the actions of the most extreme 0.001% and using a label that applies to literally billions of people…

    It’s hard to believe someone cant logically understand that

      You don’t know jack shit about Islam lol. Here in India we aren’t even an Islamic country yet honour killings by Muslims are a thing.

      There is a reason Islam is the most hated religion on the planet. Western liberals are a plague that love a religion that encourages murder as punishment. No wonder they’re the joke of this century.

      You are clueless about Islam. Please read the freaking Quran and the Hadiths there you have all the info you need, this religion is extremist by it’s own nature. You seem stuck in the something something racism, Islam is not a race by the way, it is another flavor of far right but on steroids, which happened to be enemies of the Christian far right, but the enemy of our enemy is not our friend. How the left is defending this particular religion is crazy.

        1. All the Abrahamic religions have these extremists.

        2. Name any of the other big three that have multiple genocides against their followers happening right now.

        You’re punching down by signaling out Islam, that’s why you keep getting the feedback you’re complaining about

        Has no one tried explaining that to you yet?

        Edit:

        On a completely unrelated note, it’s always weird when I stop replying to one account about this, another account with even less activity usually picks up right where the other left off …

      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.
