Egyptian Muslims to avenge stabbing in “racist Germany“
CAIRO (AP) — Egyptians are horrified by the brutal slaying of a pregnant Muslim woman stabbed repeatedly inside a German courtroom, calling what they see as a lack of outrage in Germany evidence of racism and anti-Islamic sentiment.
On Monday, thousands of mourners marched behind the coffin of Marwa al-Sherbini, 32, in her Mediterranean north-African hometown of Alexandria where her body was buried after being flown back from Germany.
“There is no god but God  allah but allah and the Germans are the enemies of God allah,” chanted the mourners, while others carried banners condemning racism. (which race is islam again?/ed)
“We will avenge her killing,” her brother Tarek el-Sherbini told The Associated Press by telephone from the mosque where prayers were being recited in front of his sister’s coffin. “In the West, they don’t recognize us. There is racism.” Â Â (In Egypt, they attack and kill the Copts, just about every day/ed)Al-Sherbini, who was about four months pregnant, was involved in a court case against her neighbor for calling her a terrorist and was set to testify against him when he stabbed her 18 times inside the courtroom in front of her 3-year-old son.
Let’s be clear: Â this is a terrible crime. But figures such as the Rector of al-Azhar, Shaykh at-Tantawy, coming out and calling for the death penalty for her murderer together with interviews given by the victim’s brother in which he calls on Germany’s Muslims to kill her assailant are beyond the pale. (But very islamic/ed)
