seriously, there is no news about this! I googled her name and the only UK article on her was in the Guardian, and it was a ‘comment is free’ article… no details of the crime were listed… I wanted some objective details, but all I got was an article by a journalist with a conveniently Muslim sounding name, lambasting the Egyptians/Arabs for suffering from tunnel vision and being angry at this injustice!

Yep! Hardly any mention about this in Western media. Either they’re ignoring it or downplaying it. They’re ignoring it because they’re preoccupied with their own sagging economies or they just prefer to be entertained and forget their problems and that of the rest of the world (witness Iran). It is after all Western media — catering mostly to Western audiences. I hardly saw any mention of the death sentence Hashim Talaat received recently for his part in the murder of Suzanne Tameem.
Frankly, I think they are downplaying it precisely because of the angry reaction it would ellicit from the Arab/Muslim world. Islam-phobia means fear of Islam. Take note of name Alex W. His identity is not revealed because they fear reprisal attacks. Plenty of Muslims willing to stab this guy and/or die trying. By the way, this guy came prepared and was probably willing to die to make a point. He probably let himself arrested because it may give him a chance to kill another muslim. A suicidal-murderer cut from the same cloth as that Jew-hater at the Holocaust museum, and jihadist suicide bombers.
