Marwa – Martyr of the head scarf and victim of fanaticism

Marwa El Sherbini, an Egyptian origin, was stabbed 18 times on 01,July, 2008 by a ferocious, bigoted and racist German man inside a Dresden court. The consequential silence by Western media over the murder of a veiled Muslim woman has highlighted the horrific state the media finds itself in these days.

Western media for its bias, almost one week after her killing, remain muted over the murder, with reports continuing to quote German sources as saying this is not “part of an organized killing.” But it is. It is part of Europe’s failure to deal with its Muslim inhabitants in a tolerant manner.

I was really taken aback at this news and now obviously doubt how a woman could be stabbed 18 times in a public courtroom without police intervention. How could her husband be shot? Was he targeted because he was Arab/Muslim? These questions have been left out of the discourse by Western media outlets, who attempt to play down the murder.

When a Western woman is mistreated in the Arab world, accounts are detailed without pause, but when an Arab woman is killed in Europe, the murder is argued away as a “one-time” incident that is not part of European society. How do they figure?

How did the criminal killed her with over 18 stabs in her body , and wound her husband , in stage full of policemen and security ?! How the police shot her husband ?! Is he was trying to protect the German criminal citizen from the terrorist ?! This is not an isolated crime , it happened before and it’ll happened all over again , so how long the German authorities will keep telling lies about this as an isolated crime ?!

This criminal maniac who perform this ( Anti-Terror ) attack on a pregnant woman, begin attacking and assaulting the killed pregnant woman for all over a year, so anyone didn’t see this coming ?!

German authorities keep saying this is an isolated crime , and asking for silence , which does not seem to be working this time.

What happened is happening since years , with ignorant who believes War Against Terrorism is a War against Islam !! But the real loop is more about the official reactions who keep telling people to accept what is happening as isolated crimes. When an Isolated crime is keep repeating, on the same pattern, same background, same causes, and same claims, you don’t dare to call them ISOLATED.

The West has been quick to jump on sectarianism in the Middle East, xenophobic statement by Muslim leaders and the horrific side of Islamic radicalism, but now, when a racist, Nazi-like, crime occurs inside the continent of “freedom” there is silence. This silence cannot persist, for if it does, the killing of Marwa will have reverberations across the region that will have a long impact on how Arabs and Muslims perceive the West.

Martial Might of LTTE Crushed, Not Esteem.

At long last, LTTE was trounced by the Srilankan military might and the death of its supreme leader Veluppilla Prabhakaran was also confirmed. The curtain of a massive civil war instigated and fought by both LTTE and Srilankan Govt. for the past 3 decades has now temporarily been put down the lid. The ruling government led by the President Mahinda Rajpakse and the majority of his Simhala populace celebrating as they succeeded in re-establishing the integration of the country despite it has paid a whole heap and swallowed string of adversities in that respect.

On the other hand, India sighs as it sees the removal of a peril from its south region which was actually contributing security threats for a long time. The star-crossed death of Prabhakaran and his tiger force may not be disheartening the whole world as it previously met with the brutal murders of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, former Srilankan president Premadasa, dozen of Srilankan ministers, military officers and scores of civilians in the heinous terrorist attacks launched by Tamil tigers.

Resorting to the way by getting guns in hands and committing all atrocious acts killing innocent people can in no case be justified particularly when such operations are aimed at dividing the motherland where we have born. The practice of promoting children between 6-10 years of age into the battle field with guns and suicide bombs in the name of “Liberation” has once again revealed that such horrendous acts shall not bring about anything but only heavy devastations to the mankind.

All feasibilities to resolve the troubles in a diplomatic and peaceful manner were cheekily turned down and went on with a sole agenda for establishing a separate Tamil State has been the historical absurdity of the commander of Tamil Tigers, V. Prabhakaran. With his obstinate agenda, he was actually driving his own community into the lane of never-ending adversities.

When the provision of granting autonomous rule for the province of Tamilians was well accepted by a couple of other Tamil groups, Prabhakaran violently ruled out the provision and didn’t even hesitate to assassinate other Tamil leaders hailed from his own community. Thousands of Tamil Muslims in Sri Lanka who settled on maintaining harmonious relationship with the Govt. were ruthlessly murdered by Prabhakaran and his militant comrades. Eventually, the complete desolation and destruction of Tamil tigers turned up in the form of their destiny.

The end of extensive racial and civil war that crushed the harmony of Sri Lanka is not going to bring about a complete resolution. The rehabilitation of thousands of Tamilians who lost everything and fled the country with their lives is a real challenge for the government. If Raja Pakse and his Govt. do not care about the refugees in the Northern Province and take the necessary arrangements to re-send them to their own places and restore their life, the retaliatory attacks will be emerged again after a short interval. The Sri Lankan government is not that much stout to overpower in case a guerilla model attacks are launched by Tamilians.

The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians being carried on for half a century by Israel under the full support of America and European countries and with the wholehearted support of UN so far not succeeded in blocking out the counterattack promoted by Palestinians should be a lesson for the government formed by Simhala majority in Sri Lanka. War is not the last word and it can not settle the tribulations raised by the separatist groups. If it could be, a peaceful life could have been restored in Kashmir annihilating all the separatist groups in Kashmir. Weapons should never win the minds of people. It must be achieved only through reconciliation rooted in humanity, love and altruism.


More often than not, the governing class dominated by racial majority does not absorb this truth whenever they come up to the issues of minority class in their country. The mindset of majority founded only on the platform of bulky numbers of people makes a supreme effort to suppress and wipe out the minority class in a fascist way by their impertinence. The despotic governments and its machinery mostly pave the way for such atrocities. History tells us the truth that the Simhala-Budhist mainstream nationalism surfaced in Sri Lanka in early 50’s and then aggravated in 70’s by slapping the wrists of Tamil minority in all aspects. This has been the root cause of counter nationalism primarily raised by Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. The massive killings of Tamilians by Simhala military troops ignited the vengeance against the Government.

“Either live a reputable life, or embrace a valiant death” has been the frame of mind advocated by each and every LTTE militants. The so far survival of Prabhakaran notwithstanding a bundle of hardships he encountered throughout his retaliatory mission is thanks to this frame of mind of his people. Raja Pakse and his military could succeed in surmounting the martial might of Tigers, but not their esteem. The restoration of peace and harmony in Sri Lanks will be a remote possibility if Raja Pakse fails to identify this fact.

"Power of Words And Embodiment of Justice"

Politics is basically about brilliant ideas. Without durably crafted political structures, no amount of development can create social values that help to define and as well seek to mould a majority in a mass of people in a defined entity.

Staring me in the face was the tragic image of an African child condemned to the abject suffering of death by starvation. A massive tear confirmed the depth of his misery, yet his angelic eyes still beamed with the radiance of his life force. Not even the brutal assault of famine could extinguish the persistent flame of the human spirit.

Let us recall here the powerful words “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere!!” which were penned in a prison cell in 1963 by one of America’s best-known advocates of equal rights – Dr. Martin Luther King.

Why was this man, who is so widely admired today, imprisoned in the Birmingham city jail? Dr. King was a national leader in the struggle to end the racial segregation laws of the American South. These laws restricted black Americans from housing, voting, hotels, stores, educational opportunities and participation in community life. Such laws were so deeply entrenched that when Dr. King led a peaceful march in protest, local authorities resisted with force, arresting the leaders and dispersing the participants with fire hoses and police dogs. This reaction caused a change in public opinion, leading to the enactment of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, the most sweeping legislation ever enacted to protect minority rights in the United States. This legislation helped change social and legal attitudes to bring the “American dream” of justice, equality, and freedom to all Americans, regardless of their race, religion, or ethnic background.

Dr. King was frequently criticized for meddling in the affairs of others. In 1967 alone, he traveled more than 780,000 miles to assist in political protests far from his home. His response, written in his famous letter was that, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” This principle is now widely recognized by countries and human rights organizations around the world. The Czech Republic too lives by this standard, giving valuable support to those trying to bring democracy to countries such as Cuba and Belarus.

We are living proof that people can change their course of history. And therefore, we honor those with the courage to fight for justice, equality, and freedom for all.
