Eygpt´s "headscarf martyr"
Bess writes: The BBC has this report on the terrible tragedy of the Eygptian "headscarf martyr", (pictured above) 31-year-old Marwa Sherbini. She was killed in a frenzied knifing in a courtroom in Germany, by the man she had sued for calling her a "terrorist" for wearing a hijab.
Axel W, who is now under arrested for suspected murder in Dresden, stabbed Ms Sherbini 18 times. She was three months pregnant with her second child. Her husband Elwi Okaz who is now in hospital, critically ill had tried to save his wife. Newspapers in Eygpt have asked quite rightly how on earth this appalling crime was allowed to happen.
