believe what you want, this did not involve an american at all so why would it be all over american news? Had it involved an american yes I believe you would here a lot about it because it would involve an american. Nice though how something like this happens and you still find ways to fault america for it.

"I guess we did hear about it in the US."
Yeah, you're right. The coverage is astounding.... four links, one from Australia, one a blog, one copied from the AP and all a week after it happened and writing about how angry the Egyptians are and how many attended her funeral.
Your ABC link was in Australia and they reported on how many Egyptians attended the funeral: Egyptians flock to court stabbing victim's funeral

The LA Times was a blog from Cairo: EGYPT: Nationwide rage over the death of an Egyptian in Germany
CNN: Egyptians angry over German court slaying
Fox: Egyptians Claim Racism in Brutal Slaying of Pregnant Woman in Germany

 Seriously, if a pregnant white American or European Christian woman had been stabbed to death in a court room in Egypt by a Muslim man she was suing for accosting her in a public park for wearing a crucifix there would be no other headlines. Period.

Maybe you should look around, found the same story on CNN.com so not sure how it is not being seen in the US. Sad that it happened but it was a german man who killed a Egyptian women and although it had nothing to do with America I can easily find something on every news website i go to:
foxnews:
CNN:
LA Times:
ABC news:
I guess we did hear about it in the US.

News that You won�t Hear about in the U.S.July 6, 2009 by attendingtheworld Egypt mourns �headscarf martyr�
The body of a Muslim woman, killed in a German courtroom by a man convicted of insulting her religion, has been taken back to her native Egypt for burial.Marwa Sherbini, 31, was stabbed 18 times by Axel W, who is now under arrest in Dresden for suspected murder. Husband Elwi Okaz is also in a critical condition in hospital, after being injured as he tried to save his wife. Ms Sherbini had sued her killer after he called her a �terrorist� because of her headscarf. The case has attracted much attention in Egypt and the Muslim world. German prosecutors have said the 28-year-old attacker, identified only as Axel W, was driven by a deep hatred of foreigners and Muslims. < =http://www.youtube.com/v/dBvOLp0ruyA&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&hd=0 width=425 height=350 =application/x-shockwave-flash allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent"> �Martyr�Medics were unable to save Ms Sherbini who was three months pregnant with her second child. Her three-year-old son was with the family in court when she was killed. Axel W and Ms Sherbini and family were in court for his appeal against a fine of 750 euros ($1,050) for insulting her in 2008, apparently because she was wearing the Muslim headscarf or Hijab. Newspapers in Egypt have expressed outrage at the case, asking how it was allowed to happen and dubbing Ms Sherbini �the martyr of the Hijab�. Senior Egyptian officials and German diplomatic staff attended the funeral in Alexandria along with hundreds of mourners. Media reports say Mr Okaz was injured both by the attacker and when a policeman opened fire in the courtroom. |
