"Thousands of Egyptian mourners marched behind the coffin of the "martyr of the head scarf" on Monday - a pregnant Muslim woman who was stabbed to death in a German courtroom as her young son watched.
Many in her homeland were outraged by the attack and saw the low key response in Germany as an example of racism and anti-Muslim sentiment." [Story (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090706/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt_germany)]
Now I have got to say, I am so pissed off about this story and I am having trouble figuring out why. The actual incident/crime itself is really bad. Stupid, unnecessary, pointless, wasteful, unproductive...but I don't feel that bad as the victim is Muslim, she lived in Germany and she....well, I could go on.
Anyway, I am pissed mainly due to the reactions I have come across. Now granted, they are from "the enemy" so no wonder I am pissed. Check it out:
"Let us play the What IF game, just imagine if the situation was reversed and the victim was a westerner who was stabbed anywhere in the world or -God Heaven- in any Middle Eastern country by Muslim extremists, or even what the media used to call ‘minorities’ in Egypt! You definitely would have heard the world’s buzzing and the internet goes down too!" [Muslim Blogger (http://blog.hichamaged.net/)]
"In Germany, 2,000 people attended Al-Sherbini’s funeral prayer, which was held at noon on Sunday in Berlin’s Al Salam Mosque.
The mosque’s Imam advised Muslims to be rational in their reaction to the shocking murder and to remember that Islam is a religion of peace and does not condone violence.
German Ambassador Bernd Erbel went to the airport to offer his condolences to Al-Sherbini’s distraught relatives. He said in a statement that, “The incident is not reflective of general German sentiment towards Egyptians; Muslims in Germany are very much respected.” [Daily News Egypt (http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=22915)]
"MARWA WAS KILLED IN COLD BLOODED STATE BEFORE A GERMAN COURT, THE MAN WHO DID THIS REPRESENTS A WIDE SPREAD HATRED THAT IS FOSTERED BY THE YEARS OF WRONG HATEFUL PROPAGANDA BY THE EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS AND MEDIA OUTLETS THIS BLOG IS AIMED AT BRINGING JUSTICE FOR MARWA AND RAISE AWARENESS AMONGST PEOPLE WORLD WIDE OF THE ATROCITIES IN EUROPE AGAINST MUSLIMS."
