its nice to see that the BBC reported it but why was it reported in just the middle eastern section and not the european section? this is as much germany's problem as it is egypts.
Probably because to observers it reveals and deep seated hatred of Muslims that remains not only prevalent but, relative to anti-semitism, widely accepted in the western world.
But mainly I was noting the difference between "died" and "brutally murdered in front of her 3 year old child".

Because that's where something interesting happened. That's the interpretation that people got from it, which was reported. Again though, it is one case, it shows no deep seated anything. One twisted ******* killed someone, perhaps because he was a racist, ignorant ****...that's all there is to the story, which is why it may run national, in a country where we have little flashy murders like that, but there's no reason why that single incident should be broadcasted all over Europe or the world, people get killed every day, for many, many sick reasons, this is one case, showing us statistically and factually nothing.
No, censorsip is your ridiculous conspiracy theory. The truth is simply that a murder is not international news. The cries of bias are ridiculous. To the question 'what if she had been a lesbian?" the answer would still be "it wouldn't have been international news."
The fact is, that the BBC has reported it. And as the report has moved onto the repatriation of the body, it was filed under the Middle East section, which makes it no less new,s or accessible, or covered- and so still a massive riposte to your weird cries of western ignorance.

There was no reason to publish the incident. There is no reason why this murder should get more attention than any other, except that it happened in a courtroom, which is odd, though not unheard of at all.
For the rest of Europe there's 0 reason to have an article of it.
Well, that's unusual. Still seems like censorship to me.
In some parts of the Middle East (open cities) and Southeast Asia (democratic countries) where I've been,
EVERY crime that happens during that day is published in the papers and local TV.

If every crime that happened in the engtire of the Middle East and Southeast Asia was reported intenrationally the sites would be thousands of pages long every day.
Do you know how many crimes were committed in the US today?
Your statement is evidently ludicrous.
