Sometimes people ask for justice, while they are not fair with 
others. Some will say that life is not fair..which may be true and may be not,…depending on how you look at things. The main point here… Do you think that people will be fair and respect you if you are not fair or respecting them….!!
October 19, 2009. There was a tension between Muslims and Christians in a small village in south of Egypt after a Christian guy video taped and took some intimate pictures of him with a Muslim girl. The girl’s family got mad when they knew about those pictures, and wanted to kill this guy, but they failed since he escaped from the village. So, the decided to kill the guy’s father. Farouk Attallah (61 years old) was walking in the village, when 4 Muslim guys stopped him and fired 31 bullets to his head before beheading him. This was in the morning and many witnesses saw that since it was in the middle of the market place there. The dead body was then dragged in the street, accompanied by shouts of victory.The police arrested the 4 Muslim guys who did this crime.
February 22, 2010. the court room was shaking because of the shouts of ‘Allah is Great’ from many Muslims there. They (including members of the state security forces who were present) congratulated the 4 Muslims. The judge decided that those guys, who killed the 61 years old Christian man, are not guilty. The judge was not satisfied with the testimony of the witnesses. Seriously, This was in the market and there were many witnesses for this crime. If no one killed this Christian man, so who killed him….!!! I don’t think he shot himself with 31 bullets and beheaded himself…. It is not fair to set who did this crime free. Is it because he is a Christian… no one will be convicted? This man was innocent although his son might have done something bad there…Still, committing a crime in this brutal way deserves a punishment.
July 1, 2009, Marwa El Sherbini, who was an Egyptian Muslim and German resident, was killed during a hearing at a court in Germany. She was stabbed by a man (Alex Wiens) against whom she had testified in a criminal case for verbal abuse about wearing an Islamic headscarf. The man attacked and killed her, because of her race and religion. Many Muslims around the world demonstrated in different countries and asked for a fair punishment.
November 11, 2009, Alex Wiens was found guilty of the murder of Marwa El Sherbini and the attempted murder of her husband Elwi Ali Okaz, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Many Muslims, including the girl’s father was satisfied with this punishment.
The two stories have the same concept which is attacking and killing others because of their religion or race. Both are brutal crimes (I’m completely against both crimes) that deserved punishment. But, The difference here was being fair or not. The court in Egypt set the criminal free, while the court in Germany put the criminal in jail for his entire life. After the crime of killing Marwa in Germany, many Muslims and even Christians wrote and demonstrate against this crime and asked for fair punishment (which happened by the German court, later). Few months later, some Muslims, were happy and congratulate the criminals, who set free by the Egyptian court, after killing a Christian old man and cut his head off. Where is the logic here?
January 2, 2000 (El Kosheh) South Egypt. 21 Christians got killed in brutal ways by Muslims in this village after an argument between a Christian merchant and a Muslim customer. The houses and stores of many Christians were set on fire, and their cars got destroyed by some Muslims in this village.
December 1, 2000. The court set all people who got arrested in El Kosheh massacre FREE (Not Guilty). 21 Christians got killed, and there is no one convicted with the crime.
January 7, 2010 (Eastern Christmas day) Naga Hamady, in south of Egypt. 3 Muslims fired at some Christians while they were leaving the church after Christmas mass. They killed 6 Christians and 1 Muslim (the guard of the church). Those 3 guys got arrested after few days and now they are in jail. The court will decide the punishment they deserve soon… HOPEFULLY, they will be fair this time and don’t set them free like other cases (since the victims are Christians). I hope the judge will remember that the victims were human being who got killed because of their beliefs.
(Be fair with others, so others will be fair with you)
