(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/25/10) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on religious and political leaders to repudiate Islamophobia following an attack on a New York taxi driver who was allegedly stabbed by a passenger who had asked him if he was Muslim.
According to media reports, a 21-year-old man hailed a cab in Manhattan on Monday night. He reportedly asked the driver “Are you Muslim?” and when the driver said yes, the man slashed him with a knife on the throat, arm and face. The driver stopped the cab and approached a police officer, who arrested the attacker. The attacker has since been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, assault, aggravated harassment and criminal possession of a weapon.

“As other American minorities have experienced, hate speech often leads to hate crimes,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. “Sadly, we’ve seen how the deliberate public vilification of Islam can lead some individuals to violence against innocent people. It’s time for responsible leaders to speak up to stop irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric.”
Awad encouraged actions such as those taken by interfaith leaders in Connecticut, who held a vigil yesterday at the First Congregational Church in Stamford, Conn., in a display of unity and solidarity with the Muslim community.

    This is very unfortunate.The situation is like when a muslim does something wrong it is islam!(subhanallah) but when individuals of other faiths do the same especially to a muslim,there is no story there.Where is Justice!Where is freedom of religion?May Allah show us a way out ya! Allah.May the arrogant powers meet their fate ya Allah!We don'nt have powers to overcome them but our hope is in you alone ya Allah!May every reader say ameen.
