Cabbie Ahmed Sharif says college student Michael Enright hailed his cab Tuesday and asked if he’s Muslim. He says when he replied yes, Enright attacked him. He suffered a serious neck wound.
Enright volunteered with Intersections International, which promotes interfaith tolerance and has supported plans for a mosque near ground zero. Opponents of the mosque say it should be moved farther away from where Islamic extremists attacked on Sept. 11.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg supports the mosque project. He’s invited the cabbie to visit City Hall on Thursday.
Enright is jailed on charges of attempted murder and assault as hate crimes. Defense attorney Jason Martin says Enright is an honors student who volunteered in Afghanistan.
When a jew gets stabbed, also gets to visit the mayor?
yes if he was stabbed because he was jewish
Wrong answer
Did the 9/11 victim families get any sympothy from the arab world or even those living in america? On the contrary, most of them were dancing in the streets living in our backyards. This country is so backward. Put a mosque on wtc site, visit the man who got a booboo on his hand, and do everything to make these terrorists feel right at home. I hope Hashem opens these peoples eyes very widely before its too late to turn back.
#4 , Yes. Governments from Morocco to Malaysia all expressed outraged at the plane bombings.
And even if they hadn’t, so what? We should cheer on murderers because evil people do too? Does that mean we should destroy Christian graveyards in France or steal from widows and orphans because there are Gentiles who do similar wicked things?
I thought we were supposed to take our cues from Torah, Sages and Prophets, not the lowest of the low.

I apologize if it sounded like whitewashing. What I 217;m saying is that there is video of SOME people doing such things. Much as there is video of SOME yidden hugging the Iranian leadership. To paint all with a brush like that is not something we would want to do.
What will you say when the antisemites start posting pictures of frum yidden in Iran, hugging Ahmedinajad, declaring that Jews are the supporters of terror?
We can laugh about it and say that  220;who would ever believe that ALL Jews would really be pro-Iran 221;?
If I see hundreds of Jews in Ft. Lauderdale proudly eating out in treif restaurants on shabbos, can I assume that ALL Jews, or even MOST Jews consider that to be acceptable? Of course not.
The same holds true here.
I don 217;t defend anyone dancing in the streets after 9/11. However, I know that painting every Muslim with the same brush is no better than painting every yid with the same brush. It is dangerous and dishonest. It is the cheap, easy way to pander to your own fears and speculations.
Askupeh, I 217;ve seen what you write for a long time. You are smarter than that.
again with number 6 and his bs.can you prove,do you have evidence,you can prove.your like a broken record or a parrot.what kind of trial and court soap operas have you been watching?.i myself can afirm when there was a terrorist attack and many jews were killed the arabs i was working with made a freaken holyday.thats right bean brain.you are ill.the illness is called progressive liberalism.
remember not all muslims are terrorists BUT all terrorists ARE MUSLIM.
sooooooooooooo how and why should any American feel anything but contempt, disgust and yes hate for them???????????
If they want to be treated like people then they best start publicly condemning the despicable acts perpetrated by their people and maybe then we will be convinced there are some decent ones. I am still waiting to see.
