The "German"'s name is Sajed Aziz. What do you think? A neo-Nazi? Or maybe...just possibly...influenced by [1] Islamic antisemitism?

"German jailed for stabbing rabbi," from the [2] BBC, May 20 (thanks to all who sent this in):

A German court has jailed a Muslim of Afghan origin for three and a half years for stabbing an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in the stomach in the street.

The court in the south-western city of Frankfurt convicted Sajed Aziz, 23, of grievous bodily harm.

Witnesses said he had shouted anti-Semitic insults at the victim, Rabbi Zalman Gurevitch, 43.

The case sparked a discussion in Germany about whether there were no-go areas for Jews in some cities....

However, he noted that Aziz had clearly called Mr Gurevitch a "Jewish pig".

Aziz admitted in court that he had stabbed his victim on a Frankfurt street on 7 September 2007 but called it self-defence, saying Mr Gurevitch had grabbed him by the collar.

The rabbi said Aziz had first shouted anti-Semitic slurs at him, then plunged a nearly three-inch (7-cm) blade into his lower abdomen.
