NY1 reports today of a likely hate crime in New York City, which has been the site of an ugly, emotional debate over the proposed Park 51 Islamic community center near the site of Ground Zero. The news station reports that a cab driver was attacked by a young man who appears to have assaulted him due to his Islamic faith. The man reportedly asked the driver if he was Muslim, and when he confirmed that he was, the young man attacked the driver, slashing him “in the throat, arm and lip” with a knife:

A city cab driver is in the hospital after being stabbed by a passenger who allegedly asked if he was Muslim, police tell NY1. Investigators with the New York City Police Department say it all began Monday night when a 21-year-old man hailed a cab at 24th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan.

Police say the passenger asked the driver, “Are you Muslim?” When the driver said yes the passenger pulled a knife and slashed him in the throat, arm and lip.

Both the driver and the alleged attacker are currently hospitalized in Bellevue Hospital. The first casualty of the “Ground Zero mosque.”

Update TPM reports that the attacker will be charged with attempted murder and committing a hate crime.

Update The New York Times has more details on the attack:
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. [...] 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. [...] “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.”

Update Politico's Ben Smith finds that Enright is an employee "Internet media company who had recently spent time with a combat unit in Afghanistan filming military exercises until this past May." He was also a volunteer for Intersections International, an interfaith dialogue group that had recently put out a statement in support of building Park 51.

He's not Muslim, they just assumed he was because he's dark skinned

he was probably telling him that he needs to be sensitive to the people holding the rally and to stop causing trouble by trying to get to work :o

if i remember right, the black looking guy's name (i say black looking because he is wearing a pr flag necklace) is kenny and he's a union laborer at ground zero.

Kufi- a traditional hat for men in African countries of Muslim, Christian and Jewish faith.


Yes, they assumed he was Muslim because of their blatant ignorance. God Bless America. You can be a complete ignoramus (not a stupid lawyer) and still spew your hatred on the public streets.

They allow all religions to worship freely?

How many kids have been molested by Catholic priests? How has the Pope responded? How many churches are being protested about it? Every catholic church is directly connected to this tragedy. The ground zero mosque has no direct link to any terrorism, let alone 9/11.

I guess white people only hate it when non-whites commit crimes.

America will not comply or conform to the Muslim Law. God will win don't worry yourself with where this or that will be built. Who knows perhaps the Muslims will see God for the first time what a wonderful day this will be.


WTC management has been sold by port authority.They then changed the name from Freedom Towers to I World Trade Centers.Because the Muslims and Chinese wanted no signs of 9/11.Now everything will be hidden 70ft below ground.You'll need to go down to see it.Bloomberg sold us out!


These type of people scare me more than Muslim terrorists. This article was about some kind of political race in Alaska

I will continue praying for Sarah Palin, that the Holly Spirit full feel her, and that she can be the first woman President by 2016. I don't think that Obama, Or Prince William are going to succeed in God's plans for this planet. God has the last word here.

What's so scary about those people? They're content to watch and wait and let God do his thing. Muslim terrorists are blowing shit up and killing innocent people in the name of their religion. I can understand being afraid of religions extremists, but I don't understand being afraid of people that just believe that God will resolve the issues in His favor without their intervention. Let them sit around and wait all they want.

No, Muslim terrorists are do blowing shit up and killing people because they believe it's God's will for them to do so.

Either way, they believe "God" plays a role in things and that's scary shit.

One believes in God playing a role. The other believe that they are playing God's role. Nothing scary at all about people that think God's gonna do it. The people that think they gotta do it FOR God are the ones you have to watch out for.

Who's more scary to you, the guy who thinks you should be shot or the guy with the gun willing to shoot you?

What's scary is that they are so obsessed with this, that they feel the need to insert these comments into stories that have absolutely nothing to do with the Mosque or Muslims.

They are uninformed (the WTC is being put underground?) and want to push their God on others.

Imagine what the response would be if a Muslim said to one of those people "maybe those Christians will see Allah for the first time". Holy shit, they would think they were being threatened with death.
