Slashed Muslim taxi driver to visit NYC mayor

Michael Enright once volunteered with a group that promotes interfaith tolerance and has supported a proposal for a mosque near ground zero — an experience distinctly at odds with what authorities say happened inside a city taxi.....   http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i5OdR6FH4zsmEVanHGR0y-jbOzngD9HR7RJO0

     Wow a funny story...
A bigot slashes a cabby's throat & face because the driver  is a Muslim and it deserves a big  

Islamophobia is alive and well in America!

How can you not laugh at that kind of irony?

Can bigots be part of interfaith tolerance organizations and assault a person of the faith they preach tolerance?  

This guy is one of yours Box, he's on your team.  He's a ignorant lunatic - just like the rest of ya.  

Leftist ignorance is alive and well in America!

For some reason, and I don't know why, when you find an arsonist, or a firebug in the area, he is often a fireman or volunteer fireman.
These lone idiots denigrate the honorable work that firemen & women do for our community.

Unfortunately the same is true of unstable bigots... they seem to use the good works of others to fuel their fire of hatred.

This time in our history will be recorded as the Anti Muslim era... and will be looked back on in the same way historians look back at segregation, lynchings and the McCarthy trials.

So I can't be a demagogue and paint ALL people part of interfaith tolerance groups as bigots?  

Gee, that's what you and the rest on the demagogue's on the left do when trying to marginalize people you disagree with - you paint a whole group with a broad brush.  Huh... I guess what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander.  Hypocrite.

Don't forget your buddy FDR and the Japaneese and Italian internment camps.  Be as we know, the leftist's write the history books, so that never really happened.

Box, it wouldn't surprise me if you were a public school teacher.

Bush's fault


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Japaneese and Italian internment camps...

The Japanese American internment camps were an American Disgrace.  I've never heard of the Italian camps.

Slashing suspect traveled with Marines for weeks
By PAULINE JELINEK
Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The college student accused of slashing a New York cab driver showed no signs he might have trouble coping with the experience of traveling with combat troops in Afghanistan, the military said Friday.

Michael Enright, a student and freelance journalist who embedded with Marines in southern Afghanistan's restive Helmand Province in April, is accused of slashing the face and neck of an immigrant cab driver this week in Manhattan after asking if he was Muslim.

Enright traveled with Marines for several weeks this spring, Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said Friday. In Kabul, military spokesman Col. Hans Bush declined to say specifically what Enright might have witnessed, but said there was nothing in Enright's embed application packet that hinted at any problems.

"There was nothing in the packet to indicate (a lack of) robustness to face exposure to our operations," Bush said in a telephone interview.

Authorities in New York said that before the attack, the suspect told the cab driver, "Consider this a checkpoint." But journals Enright kept in the war zone did not contain any anti-Muslim statements or suggest a motive for the attack, investigators said. There were indications that he had been in Alcoholics Anonymous, they said...................>>>>........................>>>>.................................http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/s.....amp;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
