She was killed because of her veil

A veiled Egyptian mother was stabbed to death because she wore the hijab (veil). The killing raises fears about the rising tide of anti-Muslim feelings in Europe.

In a Dresden park, Marwa took her 3-year old son to play. A German man, probably piqued by her headscarf, insulted her and called her a “terrorist”. Witnesses that were near Marwa heard the German man and filed a case against him in German courts. When she won the case and the court fined him 750 Euros for having abusing her, he appealed against the verdict.

As Marwa stood in court on July 1st, 2009, to give evidence, the 28-year old man took out a knife and stabbed her 18 times. Present were her son and her husband, who ran to rescue her. But the assailant stabbed her husband 3 times. A German security officer in court shot the husband in the leg probably mistaking him for the assailant. The husband, who was scheduled to defend his Ph. D. thesis in genetic engineering in a couple of weeks, lapsed into a coma and was taken to hospital suffering from serious injuries to the stomach and liver.


The criminal has been stabbing her for 8 minutes infront of her 3 year old child, without any intervention from court security and when they started to take an action they shot her husband. Marwa’s husband is now hospitalized and not even aware that his beloved wife has passed away.

May Allah be with you Ameen.

Now the important part is, Why aren’t the European reporters and newspapers talking about this story? Why is it all from Egyptian reporters and newspapers? This did not happen in Egypt. It happened in Germany in a German Court, in front of German police and a German judge.what kind of world are we living in? Should we always be shown as terrorists, with first page headlines saying “Muslim extremists”? Yet, a story like this is never reported in any western media. 

suppose that this crime signed by a Muslim against a non-Muslim
what were the world reaction be?

 Are we terrorists now?

    Salam wied,

    Thank you for giving us this information, and no I can’t read German :)

    If you have other western news about this topic please share it with us.

    Thank you once again!

  2. Salam!

    May her soul be at peace. Man destroys what he is ignorant of. Man has always hated those he cannot understand. The sad thing is that, if we retaliate with violence, it will spawn only violence. Cliche it may sound, but its quite true. sigh…

    Another cliche is that change starts within ourselves. I admit, i hated Muslims before, even though i have many friends who are Muslims. But i came to realized that by doing it, i am only contributing to the seemingly endless cycle of hatred. Thank God, i’ve realized that.

    I am no saint, but i try to be an example of a person who is tolerant and understanding. I may not change the situation, but at least i did my part… who knows, maybe others will follow my example.

    walykom salam Tads,

    Thank you so much for your comment and your inner respect to Muslims. I hope everyone can understand that we are all humans but each one of us his own way of thinking and so we should respect one another no matter who we are.

    God gave us a brain to use.. so why not use it and try to find the truth about this life? Why not read and learn about other religions? If people read about Islam they will find out how peaceful and loving this religion is. But dont blame a religion because of other peoples bad actions.

    God is testing us and this life is a test.. and soon all of us will return back to our real home.

    Thank you once again : )

    May Allah show you the right path Ameen
