"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." In the case of Marwa el Sherbini against the perpetrator the court has given a verdict, against which the state attorney appealed, because it was not severe enough. At the second session of the court the German, who emigrated from Russia murdered Marwa el Sherbini. Islamists accused the German media not having reported on this crime. The truth is, German TV interrupted its broadcast to report on the murder. Only one day later we knew more about the identity of the victim and the perpetrator. It looks as if Islamists are just awaiting the occasion in order to react with utmost violence: “A series of church bombings targeting Iraq’s Christian minority killed at least four people Sunday, including one that happened as worshippers were leaving Mass in eastern Baghdad. Iraq’s Christians have often been targeted by Islamic extremists, and many have fled the country despite an overall drop in violence in the past two years.” read the whole story on http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/13/iraq-attacks-on-christian_n_230421.html No doubt, the murder of Marwa el Sherbini is a racist crime. But those only condemning a crime, when it is directed to one of their religion are not to be trusted.
