Marwa Ali el Sherbini, Marwa Ali El-Sherbini was an Egyptian pharmacist and handball player. She was killed in a courtroom in Dresden, Germany, by a neo-Nazi and racist against whom she had testified for previous xenophobic insults against her.Her death helped today to once again highlight the biased vision of Western Media.

Marwa Ali El-Sherbini fault was just wearing a headscarf, for which Alex W. had called her an “Islamist”, a “terrorist” and a “bitch” in a Dresden playground. Alex W. was charged with defamation, found guilty and fined 780 Euro. During the trial Alex W. claimed mitigating circumstances for the act of insulting El-Sherbini, suggesting that “people like her” were not real humans and therefore cannot be insulted. The Public Prosecutor successfully appealed the verdict to achieve a higher conviction due to the openly xenophobic character of the incident.

The tragic case of Marwa Ali El-Sherbini has been in the news all over the world and of course throughout the Arab and Muslim world, and particularly, in Europe. The Iranian state-controlled media has been citing the case of Marwa Ali El-Sherbini ever since Neda Aqa Soltan was killed and the world began to pay attention to her murder to show “the hypocrisy of the Western media.” And lo and behold a star of “the Western media,” sitting on the seat where once Walter Cronkite sat, was sitting there a perfect case in point.
