07/12/2009: "All Germans (and westerners) condemned by Muslims because of one lone "nutter""

The case has sparked anger in the Arab world and Egypt in particular for its perceived under-reporting in the western media and a belief that the attack, described by German authorities as an isolated one perpetrated by a "lone wolf", is the culmination of consistent nurturing and legitimisation of Islamophobia in Europe. The victim's husband was also stabbed as he tried to protect her and was then shot and critically wounded by a police officer who mistook him for the attacker â€" a fact that compounded the racist dimensions of the story.

Bloggers and commentators have played the "what if" game, reversing the race and nationality of the victim and attacker in order to highlight the muted response from Germans (and Europeans more generally). The murder of Theo van Gogh has also been invoked as an example of the unequal value attached to the lives of Muslims and non-Muslims. The outcry has sparked calls for severing links with Germany and even declaring a "world hijab day" to honour Marwa's memory. The fact that the murder was committed by a reported neo-Nazi in Germany does little to temper a perception that Muslims are the targets of racial hatred.

In an article for the Huffington Post, Firas al-Atraqchi expands on the "creeping threat" of Islamophobia in Europe and states that "given the racism many Muslims endure in Europe, the murder of an Egyptian woman because she wore a hijab should not be dismissed as the act of a lone man who many are now calling insane". The IslamOnline website goes so far as to ask whether killing veiled Muslims in Europe is a "forthcoming trend".

[ German women - and white European women generally - are undergoing an epidemic of rape from Muslim men that goes vastly under-reported and Muslims often kill western men too. The allegation that this incident went under-reported is silly and the Muslim reaction really just goes to show that it is THEY who hate the WEST. ]

From what I can gather from crusader's incoherent ramblings he thinks this news story was about a German that got murdered by a mad Egyptian in an Arab country. But really it is impossible to make sense of it. That's typical of anyone criticising anything written about my blog posts. It only goes to show how insane our opposition is.

Also, if you're going to post comments here, please try your best to write coherently. Crusader651's post literally gave me a slight headache.

Capitalism and communism are allies in pusing the multicultural agenda and destroying the cultures of the world. Your marxist garbage is decades out of date.
