Miss Farah al-Hajji is a 24-year-old Swedish citizen who was born in Sweden to an immigrant family and because a Muslim joy frequented the mosque to learn the principles of religion. There are many mosques in the West that are spent by Wahhabi (official and private) associations from the Gulf, which has led to the emergence of Islamic militants even among those born in the West. Ms. Farah received the teachings of Wahhabi Islam and wore the hijab, which was not known before the Wahhabi tide supported by oil money. In Egypt, for example, women took off the Turkish burqa in the wake of the 1919 revolution and remained sober until the veil was first introduced by the Wahhabi sheikhs at the end of the 1970s. In the end, Farah became a veiled Muslim Swedish woman and because she was looking for work she went to interview a company to work as a translator.

The corner of Abu Salem is an Egyptian village in the center of Abu al-Nimras, Giza Governorate. There is no difference between this village and the thousands of villages in Egypt, but there are very few residents of the village followers of the Shiite sect. The 66-year-old leader of the Shiite community, Hassan Shehata, does not hide his Shiite faith and treats the villagers with a gun and no problem, according to security reports.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Before Ms. Farah started the interview with the committee that she would test for the job, the chairman of the committee greeted her and extended his hand shaking hands, but Farah did not reach out to shake it and put it on her heart.
- I am sorry I can not stand you because my religion prevents me from shaking hands with men.
The Salafist Society (Wahhabism) has a strong influence in the village of Abu Musallam and controls all mosques in the village. The Salafi sheikhs in the Friday sermon launched a sweeping attack against the Shiites of the village and accused them of infidelity and insulting the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Around the village, the sheikh was denounced and cursed, and days later the news spread among the villagers that Hassan Shehata would come to visit his Shiite friends in the village.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The Swedish company excluded Farah from the job and based her exclusion on a legal reason that her refusal to shake hands with the men was a breach of Swedish law that prohibits discrimination in treatment between men and women, whatever the reasons. Another logical reason the company did not mention was that having an employee dealing with the public and refusing to shake hands with men would lead to daily problems and embarrassing situations that would definitely affect the company's business. Ms. Farah was not satisfied with the company's interpretation of her exclusion and filed a complaint with the Anti-Discrimination Authority in which she asserted that her exclusion from the job was considered persecution because she was a Muslim.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
As soon as Hassan Shehata arrived at the house of his Shiite companions until the anger prevailed in the village of Abu Salim and hundreds of villagers demonstrated shouting against the infidels and then besieged the house where the Shiites gathered (and they numbered four) and threw the house with bottles of Molotov cocktails to burn it, but the house did not The four Shiites burn and seek refuge in the police, but they fail to protect them. The villagers resorted to another method. They came with huge hammers and digging tools, climbed the roof of the house and began to dig with enthusiasm to make a gap.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The Anti-Discrimination Commission referred Ms. Farah's case to the labor court in Sweden, which held hearings to hear Ms. Farah's complaint and the statements of officials in the company that refused her appointment.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The attackers finally managed to make a hole in the roof of the house and took it inside and grabbed the four Shiites and beat them with sharp instruments they had prepared. The Shiites continued shouting, begging and begging, but Balagdawi continued to beat them and drove them out to the waiting crowds abroad. As soon as the villagers saw the four Shiites, they shouted "Allahu Akbar", "Shiites, the enemies of Allah."
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The Swedish court ruled in favor of Ms. Farah and considered the incident against her a religious discrimination and said in the ruling:
"The complainant (Miss Farah) believes in explaining what her religion prevents her from shaking hands with men unless they are members of her close family and therefore her refusal to shake hands with men is a religious practice protected by Swedish law and the European Declaration of Human Rights."
The court has awarded a fine of four thousand three hundred and fifty dollars that the company should pay to Miss Farah in compensation for the injustice she has committed against her.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The four Shiites died of the beatings, not only killing the villagers but tying their bodies with ropes and transporting them and blood bleeding profusely in the streets of the village. The village men grew up with joy to kill the Shiites, while the women of the village were singing.
"The parents did not show any remorse or shame about the incident, but the youth of the village were exchanging video clips of the four Shiites proudly and clearly. The teacher Mohammed Ismail said sitting in front of his house:
- We are happy with what happened. We hoped it would happen a long time ago. "
