BLOGS: How Bolt and Blair might spin this murdered woman's story ...

Serial tabloid hate-mongers Andrew Bolt and Tim Blair love plucking out stories not widely reported in Australian media about violence against women. Actually, not about violence against women in particular or indeed violence against women in Australia. But rather, about violence against non-white nominally Muslim women, preferably by non-white nominally Muslim men. And not with the intention of showing sympathy toward the women themselves, but rather (especially in Blair's case) to poke fun at a tragic situation.

But one incident of violence against a non-white nominally Muslim woman seems to have passed them by. I wonder why.

IT WAS while Marwa el-Sherbini was in the dock that the accused strode across a Dresden courtroom and plunged a knife into her 18 times. She had been recalling how the man had insulted her for wearing a hijab after she asked him to let her son sit on a swing last year.

Her three-year-old son, Mustafa, was forced to watch as his mother slumped to the courtroom floor.

Why wouldn't Andrew Bolt write about this incident? I mean, there's plenty here for him to write about. You'd think Andrew could at least write ...

This incident shows how European Muslims just aren't integrating and instead are imposing their dress codes on others. The backlash is natural. We could see that here soon also.

Yes, an Egyptian pharmacist living in Germany is stabbed by a white-skinned European man. It somehow doesn't fit Bolt's stereotype. As for Tim Blair, he'd might even argue that the police officer was right.

Even her husband, Elvi Ali Okaz, could do nothing as his pregnant wife was killed by the 28-year-old Russian stock controller who was being sued for insult and abuse. As Mr Okaz ran to save her he, too, was brought down, shot by a police officer who mistook him for the attacker. He is now in intensive care in a Dresden hospital.

Blair would argue that Muslim men are usually the ones bashing up and beheading Muslim women. I can only imagine what commenters on his blog might say.

What does she expect? She's lucky they didn't turn her into compost. That's what I'd do.

Perhaps Blair and his commenters would even sympathise with Alex W's sentiments.

Unemployed Alex W. from Perm in Russia was found guilty last November of insulting and abusing Ms Sherbini, screaming "terrorist" and "Islamist whore" at her, during the Dresden park encounter.

Or maybe Alex W had been spending too much of his time reading News Limited blogs.

UPDATE I: One of Tim Blair's main informants, a certain Sheik Yermami, has this to say about the sorry saga. And it seems Yermami has similar comment moderation methods to Blair, having allowed this chilling remark to remain:

An infidel! July 12, 2009 at 3:56 am
*Where is the outrage? Where are the violent riots, the carbeques, the attacks on Muslims?

It will happen. Like a coiled spring it will unleash at the correct moment. Unlike the hot headed Muslims who carry on for a short while and usually end up killing one another. This will be a massive societal reaction to the murderous monstrocity known as Islam, and will last for a very long time.

I guess it did take their ilk 6 years to murder 6 million Jews. That was a fairly long time.
