Ok, I'm sorry to keep posting depressing news articles but this one has me absolutely floored.
Germany: last week. A neighbor has called a Muslim woman (a highly-educated Muslim woman as well, she is a pharmacist and her husband a research fellow, though that doesn't matter really) he lives near a "terrorist" and is harassing her. She sues him (I presume that's what happened, it didn't really say but they end up in court over it). While in the courtroom, he pulls out a knife and stabs her 18 times, killing her and then severely injuring her husband who is trying to protect her. The police officer in the court room draws his weapon and mistakenly shoots the husband in the leg, critically injuring the man. Oh, and did I mention she was pregnant? And her three-year-old was standing by?
Apparently the man was a Russian immigrant, a neo-Nazi fanatic driven by a deep-seated hatred of Muslims. Egypt is in an uproar. They "will avenge her death." Great.
Wow. That's just sad.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's not hard for me to understand why some people say they don't want to have kids and bring more lives into this world... it's pretty horrible stuff.
