Marwa al-Sharbini, a victim of islamophobia in Germany
The European Forum of Muslim Women wants to condemn strongly the barbarian act and racist crime towards the victim Marwa al-Sharbini, who was on Court for an appeal judgement against a criminal who insulted her in racist terms last summer.
This racist killer refused the court’s decision of him to pay a fine, and called to appeal and committed his crime on July, 1st during this very judgment by stabbing his victim in front of the German judges and policemen. She was the mother of a son, an Egyptian pharmacist, and came to Germany so that her husband can end his studies before going back home. She is now laying in a coffin, her husband in the hospital because of the numerous injuries he got, and he son injured too, but particularly shocked by the scene he has seen in front of his eyes.
They were a happy and well-integrated family with a beautiful future, but a racist person decided else for them and destroyed this happiness. Islamophobia is now threatening each Muslim person in Germany, but as well as all over Europe where they live amalgams and hostility from all parts, including from politicians.
The European Forum of Muslim Women considers this attack on Marwa’s life as a terrible event that must call us all and politicians in particular to firmly denouncing this crime and to fighting against islamophobia with firm determination so as to get rid of this dramatic evil that destroys unity and threatens peace in the European society.
The fact that such a disaster could have taken place in a court affects the German justice on its whole and paves the way for doubt and suspicion towards its security service.
