"Wiens" is not Russian surname for 100%, it have nothing to do with Russian origin . Maybe he was born in soviet union territory, but he was not Russian origin

What is the problem in Germany they don't have Freedom of Speech as a rule of law? Alex Wiens should NEVER have been charged for speaking his mind, so long as he touched no one. Any other GERMAN who ASSIMILATED properly would NOT have filed a case against him for calling them a slut, whore, etc. The fact she was a Muslim wearing a headscarf and felt she was being discriminated against wasn't costing her anything standing there....it didn't cost her money, a job, a ride on a bus, admission into a theatre or anything of the sort. Muslim "sensibilities" are full of Islamic attitude and Germany needs to decide whose side they are on -- now all Muslims in Germany know that speech is not free -- it costs 760 Euros.

Has this article been modified just a bit? Anyways, Anonymous was more specific in informing "Who" the victim was and "Where" the victim was from and "Why" the victim was in Germany and therefore not a German citizen; whereas, the reporter was quick to report "Who" the accuse was by name, "Where" he was from "with Russian origin" and "What he was "a German" at the present time but instead he or she just stated an "Egyptian woman."......... When the Egyptian government urged the Germans to sentence the killer with life in prison, it implied Weins was already found guilty and should be punished with a life sentence. When Chancellor Angela Merkel got involved by calming the situation with her condolences to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, she made Weins conviction and punishment sure things. When the German Chancellor gets involved in support of a specific side of a criminal or civil trial, one can "assume" the judges(s), being political in nature, will support the side of the Chancellor. The Egyptian government should have waited until the punishment phase of the trial and then requested a life sentence but they didn't because they, the Egyptian government, already found Weins guilty and without holding a trial........ As to the Iran and Egyptian protests, why would the Iran government (who murders it's own people for speaking-out against it's elections) be concerned with the murder of an Egyptian woman or any person? It is political with them. The same question goes for Egyptian government? Maybe, the reason might be due to the slow reaction of the German government but in a free society like Germany, one would hope that an accused person (one who is charged but not found guilty) is given time to prepare his/her defense. Weins has a right to a fair trial that has not been biased the German government ( Chancellor Angela Merkel ) and the Egyptian government ( President Hosni Mubarak ). Why? If Weins is convicted and his conviction is based on mental illness, he will be given a life sentence for a crime he committed while mentally ill. Why? Because President Hosni Mubarak wants it and Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to appease Mubarak.........It is an open and shut case because the murder of an Egyptian woman by a German "caused an uproar among Muslims."...... It is a shame an innocent human, regardless of their faith or country, is murdered but the legal sytem in Germany, we should all hope, is set-up to protect the accused until he or she is found guilty of facts. Once found guility, the guility should be punished not by forces outside of the law but by the mitigating circumstances allowed by German law. Let the German courts decide the punishment and not Merkel and Mubarak.

Mrs El Sherbini was an Egyptian pharmacist accompanying her husband while he was preparing for his PhD im Germany. The crime was witnessed by the judge, police officers, her husband, and her 3 years old son, so he is accused by killing her and not only suspect (to my understanding suspect means the court can find another murderer). Having innocent people killed in Iran could not be a justification for this crime, or that Wiens could not be accused for the brutal incident. The protests in Egypt and Iran were against the slow reaction of the German government, and nothing was related at all to the Dutch government.

"The case and the slow reaction of Dutch politicians and media caused an uproar among Muslims, and led to anti-German protests in Egypt and Iran.".....Why would Dutch politicians' slow reaction have to do with a trial in Germany? It is a shame that any person be murdered but why would people in Iran and Egypt protest the Germans? Why aren't they also protesting the murders of innocent Muslims by the Iran government during their elections. Something is wrong when Iran murders their own innocent people but have anti-German protests for one person murdered in Germany. Germany, unlike Iran and Egypt, didn't murder anyone but they act like the German goverment was the murderer of the German woman. Was she German or was she an Egyptian? This news article was quick to report Weins as German but with Russian origin but did not show the woman as German with Egyptian origin. Was she a German or was she Egyptian?

"The Egyptian government has urged the killer be sentenced to life in prison."......Mr. Wiens has not been found guilty, yet, and the Egyptian government is urging Weins be senteced to life in prison. When the Egyptian government urges another government, i.e. Germany to sentence a non-convicted person to life in prison without being convicted, one can assume Weins will not get a fair trial. One other reason might be that Chancellor Angela Merkel in an attempt to appease the situation by offering her condolences to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, set in a motion Weins guilt and punishment. Merkel's intervention is a positive sign that Weins will be found guilty and he will be given a life sentence.
