Pregnant Woman Stabbed to death in German Court

          Have you ever heard of an incident where a pregnant lady was stabbed to death 18 times inside the court in front of the judge, advocates & the police?

This did not happen during the barbaric times of Jahiliya but just 1 month back in the Court at Dresden, Germany.

Marwa Al Sherbini, 32 year old Egyptian was the pregnant woman who was slashed to death brutally. She got married to engineer Elwi Ali Okaz five years back. She is a pharmacist. Their  three year old son is Mustafa.

They got settled in Germany few years back. In 2008 while Sherbini was walking through the streets, 28 year old Alex screamed calling her a ‘Terrorist’ , ‘Islamic Whore’ etc because she was wearing hijab, the Islamic dress code. He also used more filthy languages to abuse her. Sherbini could not tolerate this act of insulting her and her religion. She approached the court at Dresden and sued against Alex, a Russian unemployed. The judge on hearing the case had ordered a fine of 780 Euros for which he went for further appeal.

  While she was giving her verbal statement against Alex, he jumped from his dock rushed towards her & stabbed her 18 times with the knife hidden inside his dress. All these brutal incidents took place in front of the judges, advocates & the police. While this brutal incident was happening, the police failed to stop him. Rather they shot at Sherbini’s husband Okaz when he tried to save his wife. Okaz on receiving the gun shot is admitted in the ICU. Innocent Sherbini collapsed to the ground and died in front of her three year old son Mustafa.

The west had been talking lots about “Terrorism”, “Human Rights” etc. This incident has created shocks widely in many countries, mainly among the Egyptians. Sherbini’s funera took place on 6^th Jul. Huge number of people turned out in Egyptian streets to attend her funeral who was martyred for covering her body as per the Islamic dress code. "There is no god but God and the Germans are the enemies of God," chanted the mourners for 32-year-old Marwa al-Sherbini in her hometown of Alexandria, where her body was buried after being flown back from Germany. The Egyptian government has decided to name a street in Alexandria in the name of Marwa.

But ironically the western media purposely hid the brutal murder of Sherbini in the public. They failed to bring the news to the world. A leading journalist from Turkey, Abdul Aseem Hammad, editor of the daily al-shorouk newspaper have attributed the western media’s disinterest in the tragic story of racism. He said that had that been the killing of a Jew, the reaction of the western media would have been completely different. They would have done their best to bring the world attraction and create worldwide sympathy.

Meanwhile the victim’s brother Thariq Al Sharbani has labeled Germany as a cold country and had requested for maximum punishment for the murderer Alex. The Iranian head mufti Ayathollah Mahmood Sarothi had asked that all those who were present in the court during the  incident should be questioned.

The Egyptians have blamed that Germany had neglected this incident and did not release any news in this regard. But beacause it occured just days after Nicolas Sarkozy gave a major speech denouncing the burka, many Egyptians believe the death of Sherbini is part of a broader trend of European  intolerance towards Muslims.

The planned act of betrayal against Islam by the western media has instigated such types of brutal attacks on the muslims. Words like Muslim terrorism, Muslim fundamentalists etc by the media had developed an Islamophobia and this brainwashed the people against the muslim public.

People should think the real factor behind the incident. A woman who without physically or verbally attacking the person who insulted her had respected the law and went to the court and the intolerant person had brutally murdered the pregnant woman. Who among them is a terrorist, a barbarian  & who is a true citizen? What should we say about iron hearted people who were watching barbaric act live inside the court without making a small attempt to save the murder? Is this the human rights in Germany for an innocent person to be shot critically for saving his own dying wife?

Let the western anti-muslim activities be on a side, my dear muslim sisters who float their dresses without practicing the Islamic hijaab, what effect has the martyrdom(shaheed) of Marwa Al Sharbani made in your life?
