How culturally insensitive of those arresting officers. Guess they need multicultural and religious tolerance retraining. After all... y'know... the Crusades!

/sarcasm

And you thought fundamentalist Bible-thumpers were bad. Don't get me wrong. Things like Westboro Baptist church really churn my stomach, but I don't recall them stabbing anyone. And there were no beheadings or burnings at the Scopes Monkey Trial either.

Anyway, let's just hope this 'random act' doesn't become more common now that we've opened the gates to anyone and everyone, all in the name of 'multi-culturalism.

Okay, this is the USA where violence is common. They are probably treating this as a hate crime. What do you want? I want violence to end. I don't care who commits it. Out of all the stabbings in the US on this day, how many do you think involved Muslims? Think about it.

I'm not sure why you feel we have opened our borders to anyone??? It's complicated and cannot be reduced to one line of xenophobia. Relax...

Urban life, I know it...and yet, the terrorists and dictators are the most dangerous and the ones with the most power and causing the most trouble right now.

Not like It's on the nightly news and have the Feds investigating for a possible hate crime.

Except they are...

Federal authorities are now looking at the case as a potential hate crime, police said on Tuesday.

If you didn't read the article, why comment on issues that it would have covered?

Was just about to say that, Lanka.

Stories like this either NEVER make it to DU....or they sink like a rock in the forum-list.

I wonder how much play this would have gotten if it was a Christian doing the stabbing????

Mostly it turns out that the terrorists are Muslim though.

Frankly, I think the muslim community in US has got to be as worried as anyone about what these jackholes are doing to their image.

Well then, that community better police their own, because we saw what happened last time a bunch of PO'ed Christians soldiers, went on a rampage.

And? Some terrorists are Muslim. Not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are Muslims.
