Marwa Ali El-Sherbini moved to Germany in 2005. In Aug 2008, a man (Alex W.) shouted abuse at Marwa at a public playground, calling her a terrorist and a slut because she was wearing a head scarf. The police arrived and Alex was charged with defamation. During his trial Alex said that “people like her” were not real humans.
Later in an appeal court, Alex W. attacked Marwa and stabbed her at least 16 times. When her husband tried to protect her, the man stabbed the husband 16 times. There were no security personnel there, and when a policeman finally came, he misidentified the attacker and shot Marwa’s husband instead of Alex.
Marwa died at the scene and her husband was critically injured. Marwa was three months pregnant.
Some of the mourners didn’t help the problem with this, though:
“There is no god but God and the Germans are the enemies of God,” chanted the mourners, while others carried banners condemning racism.
It’s a sad tale of religious intolerance and racism. It didn’t get very much attention in the West, but it should have — this kind of behavior is despicable. Source apakistannews.com/
