Why is murder still justified?

As we approach 2026, with the advancement of science and culture, and the widening, opening, and civilization of the world, ignorance has receded as a general norm, while knowledge and awareness have correspondingly increased. Many previous concepts that had established their foundations on human life, diminished the value of the human mind, and made it more emotional and more prone to psychological and emotional upheavals, have faded. Yet, some still adhere to the ways of chaotic eras, living with a mindset of recklessness and vengeance, far from the umbrella of civil laws that came to refine and regulate human relations. Consequently, we witness crimes that send shivers down our spines, such as the recent case of a man who murdered his wife and his own daughter. This incident is one of many, relatively speaking. Despite all this progress, we continue to witness gruesome crimes, most of which are committed against women. Here, I am not showing bias, nor am I speaking from a “feminist” perspective or any other stance that might be personally or textually attributed to me; rather, I am referring to statistics and news reports we read from time to time. Unfortunately, murder is still sometimes justified by claiming the perpetrator was under the influence of “drugs.” I do not deny that drugs are a blatant scourge that deprives humans of their consciousness and balance, becoming a devastating danger that can drive a person to their worst and most abhorrent acts. However, drugs are not the only “ready-made, canned” excuse, especially when we connect the dots. Are drugs not linked to anything other than the killing of women? It is as if they do not choose to affect the perpetrator except to kill a wife, daughter, mother, or sister. We also encounter more insidious and severe justifications, such as “May God protect her,” “Well done, he washed his honor,” and other phrases that, with ill intent, leap to the worst possible conclusions. Some even praise the killer, describing him as possessing alleged masculinity or virility, which is in reality a lack of humanity and a crime that cannot be justified under any circumstances. There are numerous means of recourse, even if the victim had done what she did; for instance, she could be punished according to the law if she committed a criminal act, or a divorce lawsuit for harm could be filed, among many other solutions. Murder, however, is neither a solution nor a punishment that an individual has the right to inflict whenever they wish, in their own way. Yet this notion persists, and some boys are even raised on it from their earliest years in certain families, growing up as if they were beasts waiting to pounce on their prey—sometimes to justify their “honor,” and other times in a fit of anger or mood. He is the “Mr. Big.” Despite all this development and civilization, his mind remains rotting in a past that conscious generations have sought to debunk. Unfortunately, not all generations have achieved this. In my view, this is the core problem. In conclusion, may God have mercy on all victims, whether men or women.
