I blame the taxi driver for boosting that he was a Muslim.

He must be the only cab driver in New York without a gun.

Sad :(

There's a nut in every bag isn't there.

Two, actually.

(I had to).

"Michael Enright of Brewster, New York, who was booked on charges of attempted murder and assault with a weapon as a hate crime, is listed on Facebook as an employee of the New York City-based Intersections International, a “global initiative dedicated to promoting justice, reconciliation and peace across lines of faith, culture, ideology, race, class, national borders and other boundaries that divide humanity.” And a few weeks ago, they announced their support for — you guessed it — the Cordoba House, better known to many as the “Ground Zero Mosque.”"

The more information that comes out about the attacker, the more clear it becomes that his attack wasn't because he was opposed to the ground zero mosque; and (while it is a disturbing thought) it is entirely possible that (in a drunken stupor) he decided to attack the cabbie thinking he could get away with it to create a negative backlash against those who oppose the mosque.

Uuuu, conspiracy!

we should start labeling the attacker a terrorist, might help break down some steretypes as well as send him to Guantanamo where he belongs.

Nah, Christians aren't terrorists. Only people of other religions/beleifs  can be terorists. Didn't you know?

oh ya!

My guess is the cab driver was stabbed, and he happened to be Muslim...so therefore according to the media he was stabbed because he is Muslim.

Cab drivers get attacked all the time (just ask Patrick Kane).
