    C'mon now Trampas, you're like a fly to s**t when it comes to Islam - that's not wariness, it psychotic.

    That's kind of you but I'm trying to understand how you link that to Islam. Please explain.

    There are people upset at Islamophobia in the Islamic world following this murder. Of course it doesn't stop them responding with xenophobia of their own.

    In dot's link muslims are upset that the murder didn't get much publicity in Europe. I recall it being on the bbc's website myself on the day it happened. It's not the first racist murder in Europe however the other murders probably didn't make it to newspoints across Europe either. This is because a single murder is generally not news that is flashed across every country. Why is the murder of a muslim more important than a non-muslim. Are they meant to be superior?

    Al Arabiya reports:
    News | Mourners angry over murder of German Egyptian

    The people at the funeral were chanting:

    ""There is no god but God and the Germans are the enemies of God," they chanted."

    They are outraged as Islamophobia and yet feel it perfectly normal and acceptable to indulge in xenophobia. Fun using all these words so it is!

    Other quotes from the article:

    "Sherbini's brother Tarek al-Sherbini vowed to avenge her killing. "We believe in an eye for an eye," he told Egyptian national television."

    ""The killer is a terrorist who should receive severe punishment for what he has done, something that contradicts all the values of humanity, decency and religion," Grand Imam Sheikh Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi told Egypt’s official MENA news agency."

    ""This isolated incident is a foreseen consequence of the kind of anti-burqa and anti-niqab rhetoric Sarkozy has engaged in France," one user said on a Muslim listserv."

    It could be just one nutcase influenced by his own hatred rather than something placed in his head by the president of some other country. I suppose if we shut up about the oppression of women that the burqa represents everything will be fine an dandy.

    You know Cato for a poster that usually talks sense that post let you down badly. If you can't see the difference between Ryan and the goings on in our industrial schools and the situation with Samira Bellil your moral compass needs adjusting.

    You're right; the systemic abuse, torture, and rape of children and the enabling and covering up of same by the Church and State authorities is of course much worse than any one-off case of evil, such as the one you mention.

    There is when it comes up in every f[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]cking discussion and is highlighted beyond its prevalence in reality.
