Shocking racism, not directly connnected to anything but exposing deep racism within European society: a 32-year-old Muslim woman is murdered inside a German courtroom by her neighbor. They are there because the neighbor has earlier harassed her as a "terrorist" because she wears a headscarf. The woman is then buried in her native town in Egypt, where there is a national outcry, in contrast to the ho-hum response in Germany to the case.
Abdel Azeem Hamad, chief editor of the independent Egyptian daily
el-Shorouk, said that if the victim had been a Jew, there would have
been an uproar.
Yes, but: The head of Germany's Central Council of Jews accompanied a Muslim representative to a Dresden hospital to visit the murder victim's husband, who was also critically injured in the attack.
