Frankfurt, Germany – A 23-year-old German Muslim has told a Frankfurt state court at the opening of his trial that he felt threatened by a rabbi and acted in self defense when he attacked him last year.

Rabbi Zalman Gurevitch was stabbed in September last year by Sajed Aziz, as was reported here on Vos Iz Neias.
Sajed Aziz told the court he first had a testy verbal exchange on a street in the city in September last year.
He claimed that the orthodox Jewish rabbi then grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and screamed at him.
Aziz said he reacted by pulling a knife and stabbing at the rabbi, but insisted he could not recall what had happened next. He said he did not intend to kill the rabbi.
Aziz is a German citizen born of Afghan parents. He faces charges of attempted manslaughter.
Aziz told police before his trial opened today that the attack had no anti-Semitic motive. He has been held in detention since his arrest last year because he has a criminal record. [AP]
The muslim [attempted] [alleged, of course] murderer YMSH”V (no, not alleged but actual) felt threatened by the Rabbi because he was Jewish, so he had to curse at him. (“Unfortunately”, the Rabbi, including this poster do not possess the trait of “Turning the other cheek”, or side of your body, when physically threatened) OK , he’s not violent at all. It’s [all] the (Jewish) Rabbi’s fault, OK! Even that tuly great humanist and scholar ron kuby would agree!
And if you don’t believe that this lie is true….just ask the blind man, he saw it too.
