DRESDEN, Germany – The husband of a pregnant Egyptian woman knifed to death in a German courtroom testified Monday that the alleged attacker continued stabbing his wife even after she was on the ground.
The suspect, 29-year-old Alexander W., arrived for his trial in the same court room Monday with his face concealed beneath a hood, hat, sunglasses and a mask. Only after several urgings by the judge did he remove the mask, hat and hood, but he was fined for contempt of court for keeping the sunglasses on.
He faces charges of murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm for the July slaying of 31-year-old Marwa al-Sherbini. As in all criminal cases in Germany, Alexander W.'s surname will be withheld by the court unless the defendant is convicted.

Wonder what the altercation was about?
Also, have to agree with you about hard to muster empathy for Muslim outrage since they laughed and cheered the towers falling.
I’m with you. I stopped caring about the fate of Muslims on 9/11/01.
The murderous bum deserves capital punishment.
I am frankly disgusted by this "who cares... it's just Muslims" sh*t...
Killing pregnant women... for goodness sake!
That islamic politicians and tinpot dictators abuse the issue for their own sake is totally irrelevant to the matter.
A pregnant woman killed in front of her child... and what does the woman had to do with 9/11!?
Don’t get me wrong. The murderer should be punished. I just don’t care about Muslims anymore. They don’t care about non-Muslims, they brought this scorn upon themselves.
I have no idea what the woman thought of non-Muslims, and it doesn’t matter. What did SHE (as an individual) do to “bring the scorn upon herself”? Because she happens to be an Egyptian Muslim?
You are free to feel about any group of people as you please, but I can’t grasp the need to always think of people in groups (as totalitarians or socialists usually do).
Sorry, when supposedly peaceful Muslims start speaking out against terrorists, I’ll think of them as I used to, as peaceful people. Since that hasn’t happened, they group themselves with the terrorists by their silence. They did this to themselves, and I’m not the only one who thinks this way and only liberals throw around the fascist label when they run out of salient points.
Truly, the murderer deserves to be executed for the crime of murder. Yet,I have no empathy for either the murderer or the victim. He chose to slander her in public. And she chose to seek vengence against him by means of prosecution. Perhaps if she had chosen to forgive him of his slander against her, all would not have been lost to either her or him but saved. Forgiveness heals. . .

My post was about "Muslim outrage", not so much this particular incident. I agreed with not bending over for every little interest group because they, as a whole, get their feelings hurt and demand everyone pay homage to them and give them extra special perks over and above everyone else. Sure, this particular person deserves the max because no child needs to see his mother killed in front of him (which brings up the question why the child was in the courtroom in the first place). However, I would still like to know what she did to him to bring on such rage.
Unfortunately, all too many “ethnic German” Russian immigrants have a strong proclivity for violence and other crime. The scummy portion of immigrants isn’t always muslim. Russia, the Balkans...
