For whipping up anti-Muslim sentiment...


A cabdriver was attacked Tuesday by a knife-wielding passenger who
made anti-Muslim remarks, the police said.

The passenger, Michael Enright, 21, of Brewster, N.Y., hailed the cab
at Second Avenue and East 24th Street around 6 p.m. Tuesday, the
police said. Twenty blocks north, they said, he slashed and stabbed
the 43-year-old driver in his throat, face and arm.

The driver, identified by the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, a
drivers’ group, as Ahmed H. Sharif, 43, stopped the cab and approached
a police officer on Third Avenue near 42nd Street. Mr. Enright was
arrested at the scene.

According to the taxi workers’ alliance, Mr. Sharif’s fare started the
ride asking him in a friendly way if he was Muslim, whether he was
observing Ramadan, and how long he had been in the United States.

After falling silent for a few minutes, the passenger began cursing
and screaming, and then yelled, “Assalamu alaikum — consider this a
checkpoint!” and slashed Mr. Sharif across the neck, and then on the
face from his nose to his upper lip, the alliance said. (“Assalamu
alaikum” — “peace be with you” — is a traditional Muslim greeting.)

Both men were taken to Bellevue Hospital Center. The driver was in
stable condition. A law enforcement official, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said Mr.
Enright was “very drunk” at the time of the attack.

“I feel very sad,” Mr. Sharif said in a statement released by the taxi
workers’ alliance. “I have been here more than 25 years. I have been
driving a taxi more than 15 years. All my four kids were born here. I
never feel this hopeless and insecure before.”

He added that “right now, the public sentiment is very serious”
because of tensions over Park51, the proposed Islamic center that some
critics call the “ground zero mosque.”

The police charged Mr. Enright with attempted murder as a hate crime,
assault, aggravated harassment and criminal possession of a weapon. He
was awaiting arraignment on Wednesday.

Are you convinced that Democrats only listen to Democrats?

My anger is directed towards the assholes who use religious divisions
to stir up hatred in hopes of securing votes.

You are a tool. How long do you think the Muslims will give you to
convert to Islam before they behead you. You can protest all you want
saying that you are a tolerant person and they will still cut your head
off.

Who's the tool? You've adopted the better-be-scared mantra from your
fearful leaders. The ones who know that your vote is an easy one if
you're scared half to death by the thought of foriegn invaders raping
your wives and children.

Apart from a foriegn launched attack on NY, have you seen or heard of
any beheadings in the USA?

I've heard of Tim McVeigh killing 168 of his fellow citizens in
Oklahoma City and isolated incidents like this one, mostly against
Muslims.

Are they taking over North and South America now? Have they invaded
Alaska via the land bridge?

The history of hate speech indicates a strong correlation with hate
violence. People like the passenger are being incited to hate an ethnic and
religious group. Anyone who knows anything about history knows this to be
true. The current batch of hate-mongering asshole talking heads are stoking
the worst, most base emotions of people for the sole purpose of promoting
themselves. Unfortunately, this hate-mongering leads directly to acts like
this in an escalating choir, which culminates in fascism. The person who
attacked the cab driver is a sick, fearful guy, but he didn't just come up
with this on his own.

If you think that all Muslims are the same, you sir (and I use
that term loosely) are the bigger tool. Religious fundamentalist
fanatics are alive and well in all religions.

You have to understand that BAR is a white conservative religious
fundamentalist whose formal education stopped at high school.

I haven't heard of a Christian, Jewish, Shinto, or Budhist cutting off
the head of a non-believer in the last 10 years. Maybe you could dig
something up and prove me wrong.

And, when have you ever heard a Muslim criticize another Muslim for
being a fundamentalist or for any criticism at all.

Where is the 1,000,000 Muslim peace march?

Tolerance is a two way street excet if you are a Muslim and the it is a
one-way street and they are looking at do not enter signs.
