NY Muslim Cab Driver Stabbed in Neck… Teabagger Pro-GZ Mosque Radical Charged With the Crime
Bummer. And, the left was having such fun with this…
A Muslim cabbie driver was stabbed in the neck last night by a leftist New York City arts student.
CBS reported, via Dan Riehl:
A drunken passenger riding in a New York City taxi cab attacked the driver after asking him if he was Muslim, police said Wednesday.
The driver told police that when he answered yes, Michael Enright pulled out a folding hand tool, reached into the front seat and slashed him.
Enright was arrested Tuesday night on charges including attempted murder as a hate crime, said Deputy Inspector Kim Royster, a New York Police Department spokeswoman.
Here’s the update:
The apparent anti-Muslim assault on a New York city cabbie by a man shouting “Assalamu Alaikum. Consider this a checkpoint” produced an immediate round of recriminations over its connection to opposition to a New York Islamic Center and an apparent rising tide of Islamophobia.
But as often at the intersection of politics and violent crime, the story doesn’t appear to fit any easy stereotype: The alleged assailant, Michael Enright, is — according to his Facebook profile and the website of the left-leaning media organization Intersections International — a student at the School of Visual Arts and a volunteer for Intersections, which recently produced a statement of support for the Park51 project and is funded by the mainstream, liberal Collegiate Church of New York.
Of course, the fact that this criminal is a leftist surprises no one.

Well, look. There are crazy people everywhere. Even if this guy turned out to be a right winger, he would not represent the 99.9999% of conservatives who have an opinion on this.
That he is a liberal is simply the icing on the cake.

Color me perplexed. If the assailant was shouting “Assalamu Alaikum. Consider this a checkpoint” as he attacked the muslim cabbie, would that not indicate that the assailant, too, was a muslim? After all, I don’t know of any Christians or Jews or even atheists who run around shouting “Assalamu Alaikum.”

This was an attempt to manufacture a hate crime. If he’d been able to get away, the lead stories would be all about the “unrestrained passions” of those who object to the victory mosque.

This was (yet another) “Real Life Moby,” who didn’t quite think things through enough.
The slunt who carved a “B” in her face just before the election did better…even to the point of convincing many on the right that she, a “former” Paulian, was a Racist Right Winger.
This guy should have thought about it…hmm…maybe I shouldn’t do this, given that I have the usual Prog need to talk endlessly about myself on social networking sites, and that my name can be connected to those sites in seconds flat.

something tells me the cab driver may very well have been an anti-Islamist
(aka: Political Islam aka: Sharia Law aka: Social Justice) ‘Victory Mosque’
kind of American Muslim..
I – S – A – M – ‘O’ – P – H – O – B – I – A
[Jasser: I’ll first tell you what it is not- it’s not Islamophobia. If anyone is
to blame for the existence of the concept of Islamophobia, if it even exists,
it is Muslims who have been unable to articulate a manifestation of Islam which is free of a political state which threatens the sovereignty of the states in which Muslims reside. I don’t subscribe to the existence of the notion of Islamophobia because I believe that we are in just the beginning of a global conflict of political ideologies (Islamism vs. Americanism), and the conflation of “Islamophobia” is intentional by Islamists to deflect Americans and the free world from the necessary debate
of political ideologies.]

“we created bin Laden”
CS you’re not a stupid man.. but that self bloviating comment sure was..
fact is, we did NOT create bin Laden, and it’s been proved time & again..
The United States did not “create” Osama bin Laden 5/01/09
[No. Numerous comments in the media recently have reiterated a widely circulated but incorrect notion that the CIA once had a relationship with Usama Bin Laden. For the record, you should know that the CIA never employed, paid, or maintained any relationship whatsoever with Bin Laden.]

The Ground Zero Mosque’s Muslim Opponents 9/25/10
[Defenders of the proposed Ground Zero mosque are quick to write
off opponents as bigots simply out to stir up hatred of Muslims.
While some of the rhetoric is excessive, the blanket dismissal hides a more difficult challenge for mosque advocates: A growing number of Muslims openly oppose the project too. Some agree it's the wrong place, while others are increasingly critical of what they see as tone-deaf and clumsy leadership from mosque planners.
The most recent, and perhaps most pointed, criticism comes from Mansoor Ijaz, who negotiated Sudan's offer of counterterrorism assistance to the FBI and CIA under the Clinton administration in 1996 and 1997. In a Washington Post column Wednesday, Ijaz faulted both sides of the debate for its tenor. But he admonished Muslims to show their sensitivity toward the country's collective emotional wound from 9/11. And, he argued, they have done more to cast themselves as victims instead of joining forces to combat the radical Islamist ideology fueling terrorism:
"[The] Cordoba House is wrong because America’s Muslims do not yet exemplify the time-honored commandments, philosophies and tenets of the great men and women who founded our country — and even more sadly, of the great religion they claim to follow. A mosque is not a monument. It is a place where worshipers gather to strengthen their beliefs en masse — a place where they resolve to practice those beliefs with consistency and vigor. An American Muslim, one who believes in his or her American identity first, could not possibly hope to do that near the place where fellow citizens were murdered by Islamic mobsters seeking vanity and infamy for their crimes.”
Even those who believe that, on principle, the project shouldn’t be abandoned, acknowledge that they feel boxed in after Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife Daisy Khan sprung the $100 million mosque project on them.]

AMEN!!
I am so proud of all Muslims whio have spoken out, and there have been many.. the MSM & Obama et al can no longer silence them, thank God..

Bloomberg is on board with Imam Rauf because their are plans for the mayor’s company, Bloomberg LLC’s expansion of its Dubai financial center into a regional hub for the UAE. Bloomberg LLC will make billions in the Middle East in global financial software, data gathering and news, commanding one third of its market niche estimated at $16 billion. Bloomberg, lefty elites and the main stream media are selling out New York City, New York State and the United States of America.

re: bg #27
[“Let us remember that the project organizers themselves created this controversy by announcing that the groundbreaking would take place on the ten-year anniversary of the attack, and that the exact site was selected because of its proximity to Ground Zero. Given that fact, the current media meme that this is not a ‘Ground Zero mosque’ is dishonest spin.”]
love how they’re sock’n'it to the Islamists, woot!!
hey Oblahfootinmouth, read, listen, carefully,

I just watched the NYC FOX 5 broadcast 10PM news coverage of this.
At least, the lying sacs of excrement didn’t say the liberal idiot is a tea party member.
Neither did the spinmeisters say he is a liberal, America-hating, GZ victory mosque supporter, whose weapon of choice is a Leatherman multi-tool.
Subadar Lal Khukri commented:
PS: FOX 5 just aired the results of a quick poll: 68% think Midget Mike Bloomberg is out of touch with US.
Take your $12 billion and go to Beirut, Lil Mike.
That’s astounding considering 70% of Manhattan are bolshevists or Obama-worshipping bigots.
Chippy commented:
ABC- TV in NYC aired a story of the young man’s liberal and touching story. Friends and neighbors were quoted as shocked. They showed his disappointed father leaving the police station without commenting to reporters. A very sympathetic story, “what went wrong?”. WAAAA!
StrangernFiction commented:
You think liberalism isn’t a mental disorder, check out SOME of the comments from just the FIRST PAGE of this NYT blog about the attack, which states that the person charged with the attack “has spoken out IN FAVOR of the proposed Islamic cultural center near ground zero”:
This was certainly predictable with the repubs running around “scaring white people.” It reminds me of the Civil Rights era which involved a lot of crimes like this and worse.
is anyone surprised that the right-wing rabble-rousing and hate-mongering is resulting in such incidents?
This is the kind of thing that happens when people are whipped up and goaded on by hate-mongering rightwing zealots. Shame on you!
fox news has blood on its hand….here it starts…..
Pamela Geller has blood on her hands.
Sounds like he was not only very drunk from alcohol but also from Fox News who are primarily responsible for creating this climate of hatred with their mosque “controversy”.
Ahhh, the religious warriors are getting ready for battle in this country now. The lunatics Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Rick Lazio and that ilk can’t wait until we are trapped in religious violence here, as long as it helps their pathetic political careers. Can’t wait.
Gingrich and Palin should be arrested as accessories.
Ahh, the chickens come home to roost. Thank you, Fox News, Pamela Geller etc. for showing the world just what a tolerant, modern society looks like.

Imagine what they would have said had the assailant been OPPOSED to the mosque.
YOU. CAN’T. MAKE. THIS. STUFF. UP.

Are you serious? This guy went to a liberal school therefore he is liberal? I think that’s the most illogical thing I’ve ever heard. It doesn’t matter if he was left, right, or center. HE STABBED SOMEBODY! IT IS A CRIME…! You people would let this country go to garbage just to prove the right wing is fabulous and the left wing is not. Meanwhile, people are on the streets stabbing people. Sounds like a wonderful place to live.
The stabber was muslim? HIS LAST NAME IS ENRIGHT! And I’ve heard plenty of people be derogatory towards muslims by using traditionally muslim words/ideas/etc.

I just don’t get it, why would a Muslim object to the community center and why would a supporter of the community center stab a Muslim? It makes no sense at all.

London commented:
For Islamophobia read moral blackmail. Islam is very ‘phobic’ in its relations to the other. Even just mention the name ‘Aisha’ and watch sunni and shia go for it.
The Moslems learnt to use Islamphobia from the PC crowd and they are, to coin a phrase, ‘lovin’ it’.
It’s called laying on a guilt trip and it is deeply political. Victims, real or imagined just squeal and, lo and behold the world comes a runnin’.
Same trick this side of the Ocean.
