This is really sad news. In a nutshell :

El-Sherbini and the defendant met in August 2008, when she asked him to clear a playground swing where he sat smoking a cigarette so Mustafa could use it.
He refused, calling el-Sherbini an “Islamist”, a ”terrorist” and a “whore”. She pressed charges for defamation and he was fined $1,170.
An appeal against the conviction brought them together again in July.
The defendant allegedly plunged an 18cm kitchen knife into the chest, back and arm of el-Sherbini, 31, three months pregnant at the time with her second child.

El-Sherbini worked as a pharmacist while her husband is a geneticist working on his doctorate in Dresden.

As a pregnant mom to a 2.5 year old,I feel so sorry for her son and husband as well as all the honest hardworking germans who must be shocked at this violence.

I dislike the way the media (muslim or otherwise) are dubbing her the 'hijab martyr', with all it's connotations and inflammatory effect . I'd be just as upset if she was any other religion/race.

This is just horrible.... I have no other response except the heartfelt desire to see the guy who did the stabbing dangling from the end of a rope.

The German courts don't search people on entry, so they don't bring in things like seven inch knives? Huh.

I'd imagine they're somewhat more lax in civil hearings CT. I'm sure their were probably procedures in place and someone just wasn't very thorough on a mere humdrum defamation of character case. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that person was probably fired or will be soon.

I will preface with the statement that this is a tragedy.

However, taking a defamation suit over some stupid words said aloud does not help the situation, and probably could have been left alone without further incident.

gally I am going to need you to reread what you just wrote, so you are not shocked when I start pointing out that it implies several things, including that if someone has unwarranted abuse hurled at them they should just suck it up, and that due to her pursuing this guy through legal channels in place for people's protection she brought her own murder on herself.

HE WAS SITTING ON A SWING SMOKING

SHE ASKED IF HER KID COULD USE THE SWING

HE CALLED HER A WHORE, IN FRONT OF HER CHILD

SHE WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE HIM TO COURT

HE FUCKING STABBED HER TO DEATH

I am sure that a dude given a clean bill of mental health who stabs a pregnant woman to death in a fucking court room would have certainly never been involved in an incident like this one, had this stupid fucking bitch just let him stay on his swing and enjoy his fucking cigarette.

Are you a fucking idiot, or what, gally? Is this some sort of elaborate performance art, or are these actual opinions that you hold on to?

WELL I GUESS GETTING SHOT IN THE LEG WILL TEACH HER HUSBAND NOT TO TRY AND FIGHT OFF PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE STABBING HIS WIFE
