Sheik Mohammad Sayyad Tantawi of al-Azhar Mosque called for the severist punishment for the killer of the" headscarf martyr" [ a woman murdered in a court room in Germany]. Egyptian scholar Buthayna el-Sherbini described the killer as a "terrorist" who should be punished in the maximum terms so that such acts that violates human values and world religions would not be repeated. However, he considered the incident as individual act that does not represent Islamophobia.
