Storm in Turkey: Woman calls for the extermination of women wearing headscarves on the metro

A shocking incident on the metro in Turkey sparks public outrage

During the day (June 21, 2026), a severe anti-religious incident was reported in Turkey. A woman, who was on her way to accompany her daughter to an exam, was recorded hurling hate speech at a woman wearing a headscarf whom she encountered on the subway ride. According to reports from the Telegram channels Son Dakika Haberler Gündem, Son Dakika Haberler Türkiye, and Son Dakika Haberleri Türkiye, the woman used incitement and violent language.

In the video distributed on social media, the woman was heard saying: "In general, all those covered (the women with headscarves) should be shut away, they should be exterminated". The statements sparked a wave of public outrage across the country.

The Turkish news channel A Haber, known for its conservative and pro-government line, published the event under the headline "This kind of ignorance!" and strongly condemned the remarks. According to A Haber, "ignorance is dripping from everywhere" regarding the woman who uttered these expressions, emphasizing that this is hate speech that is unacceptable in the Turkish public.

The incident received extremely wide exposure among the Turkish public, with nearly 3,000 views recorded in the various sources within a few hours of the reports being published. The subject continues to occupy social media in the country, as commenters are calling for measures to be taken against incitement on a religious basis.
