Women killed because of her headscarf in courtroom

Just realised that her 3 year old son was in the courtroom whilst all this happened

Hang on, she was stabbed 18 times while there were police officers in the room? And when her husband tried to help, a police officer shot him down, MISTAKING him for the stabber? Can someone explain?

Had the murdered woman been a of any other religious persuasion or the attacker been a Muslim this would have gained alot more attention, which is the sad part.

If anything happens to a westerner in a Muslim country the whole world goes into an uproar. Gillian Gibbons for example got so much media attention over that ridiculous charge but she only got 15 days in prison and then got PARDONED, that sex on the beach couple etc..... This woman was a resident in Germany and got stabbed 18 times then the police followed to shoot her husband as he tried to help her. If this had happened to a western woman in an Egyptian courtroom we'd be basically in a different world now.

I've hardly seen any serious coverage on the matter. Reporting and coverage are two different things. The story being reported on in the middle pages of a newspaper or at midnight at those 24/7 news channels doesn't make it enough.

The husband wasn't mistaken for the stabber, but was mistaken for being another attacker.

But yeah, it is incredibly screwed up.

Sounds like he was!

You didn't bring up any points that I haven't already addressed in my previous post, so I won't repeat myself in that respect. The only new point you've brought up is the part about it needing European coverage in order to "condemn them (sic) fully". I'm interested to know why you feel this family's grief needs to be known to the world for the German courts to judge this man? Do you think they'd set him free if this didn't get mass-media coverage?

Are you totally incapable of differentiating between deliberate state policy and a one-off accident?



If the West is so intolerant toward Muslims, why do you live here?

Everyone in the West isn't, the media is and some of the general public. As for your question it was the first place to take my country on due to civil war back home, which still exists.

Gillian Gibbons was a British woman and so got top priority in British media. How much coverage do you think she got in middle-eastern countries? How much live TV coverage did Al jazeera or Al Arabiya give her? Gillian Gibbons is a strawman argument.

This case is an Egyptian woman who got news coverage in Egypt for being Egyptian and Germany due to it being a German court.

I repeat. Your logic:

Bread is bad.
Therefore, Germans are Nazis.



Which double standards are those? Is it German state policy to kill Muslims? Or was the reason the Muslim woman was in court was to protect her rights?



You mean the media that have reported widely on this issue? Or are you carefully following the German media?

off topic: where are you from barca?

I guess I can vouch for the whole citizen-coverage theory. For example, I'm an American, and I have no idea what the crap you're talking about. I've never even heard of this Gillian Gibbons person.

I was in Sweden at that time and I knew about it.
