An original article by Carpe Diem:
When Khaled Idris Bahray, a 20-year-old Muslim ‘refugee’ from Eritrea, was found stabbed to death in the courtyard of his housing estate in Dresden on January 13, it didn’t take long for the media to link the murder to the local PEGIDA movement. Now, as his 26-year-old roommate Hassan Saleh, also a Muslim refugee from Eritrea, has confessed the murder, the media have become quiet.
Right after Khaled Idris Bahray had been found dead in the courtyard of his flat, the media and the left launched a massive smear campaign against PEGIDA. For them it was obvious that he must have been killed by those ‘far right Neo-Nazis’.
Some events of the last days:
- When police arrived at the scene, they found the body of the young man lying on his back, with blood coming out of his nose and mouth. An autopsy was immediately conducted, as MOPO24, a local newspaper, reported the very same day. Waiting for the results, police correctly said that they had no evidence for a murder at that time. However, for MP Volker Beck (Greens party) investigations took too long. Still assuming that it was racist murder, he lodged a complaint for an investigation into the possible obstruction of justice, and wrote on twitter:
“I have no understanding for the negligent approach of the investigation authorities.”

- Meanwhile, the media had started their smear campaign against PEGIDA. There was hardly any article not linking the death of Khaled Idris Bahray to the movement. This article from the ‘Guardian’ is just an example. There were many articles like this in the German media:
- When the murderer, 26-year-old roommate of the victim, Hassan Saleh, hadn’t been taken into custody at that time, he still lived among the other refugees. He didn’t just meet Dresden’s major Helma Orosz there, but he also gave interviews to the press:
“ ’We are so afaid,’ says 26-year-old Hassan Saleh who had shared a room with Bahray. In Eritrea they had dreamed of the freedom in Germany and of safety, but since they were here, they are scared. Since they are here, there is ‘Pegida’. Khaled’s friends don’t understand what exactly these rallies mean, but they feel: They are not welcome here.”



In the article, it goes on to vilify the EDL thusly: “The EDL play on the historical animosity that exists between some sections of the Sikh and Muslim community”. The article drips with contempt for the EDL at this point.
