 The Islamic Human Rights Commission expresses sorrow at the death of Marwa Al
Sherbini. Mrs Al Sherbini who was pregnant at the time, died after being
stabbed 18 times in front of her three year old son. Her husband, in an attempt
to protect her, suffered stab wounds and appears to have been shot by the
police. Mrs Al Sherbini was suing a man, identified as Alexander W, for
religious abuse and was then attacked by him in the courtroom during
proceedings.
IHRC is deeply concerned that the alienation and marginalisation of the Muslim
community has led to such an environment where hate crimes are prevalent. IHRC
urges the German authorities to make sure that history does not repeat itself
and that prejudice, anti-religious and anti-racial realities must be addressed
in the strongest terms.
IHRC Chair Massoud Shadjareh stated:
‘’The media and the current political climate foments an Islamophobia that
pervades society and until this is addressed in a serious manner we fear that
these dreadful incidents will increase’’

I hope these ppl remember what happened the last time they persecuted a race of people- 50 years ago. Look how tables turn. The man who stabbed her is the ebst definition of a terrorist.
the climate of islamophobia has been reinforced by the rise of far-right groups all over europe
