He was released after a Muslim mob arrived at the police station and threatened to burn it down. Clearly they thought that the idea of a Muslim being charged for stabbing a Jew was offensive and unacceptable. But remember: to point out how deeply embedded anti-Semitism is in Islamic teaching and culture is “Islamophobic.”
“Masked Islamist stabs Jewish man in Tunisian market,” Times of Israel, May 23, 2014 (thanks to Halal Pork Shop):
A Jewish man was stabbed at a market on the island of Djerba in Tunisia on Thursday evening, according to bystanders.
Gabriel Uzon, 38, a father of four, was stabbed in the chest by a masked Muslim assailant at the Jewish market in the city, Israeli media outlet NRG reported.
According to eyewitnesses, the attacker yelled “The nation of Muhammad returns for vengeance,” before charging Uzon. The two then engaged in a struggle, which resulted in the stabbing.
Bystanders were eventually able to subdue the attacker and transfer him to police.
Uzon was taken to the hospital in stable condition, according to the report.
Over a hundred masked men showed up at the police station where the attacker was being held, threatening to burn it down unless the man was released, according to the report, which cited local sources.
The police is said to have released the attacker without filing charges.
Jewish community representatives said it was the second anti-Semitic attack in a month, with the previous stabbing occurring during Passover.
Some 2,000 Jews from around the world took part in a three-day annual pilgrimage, which ended Sunday, to Djerba’s Ghriba synagogue. It was the first time in several years that the pilgrimage drew such a large number of travelers.
John C. Barile says
Djerba’s synagogue is probably the oldest existing one in the world.

typical Islamic “justice” though I am a bit surprised because usually it’s the victim, in this case the Jewish man who was assaulted and stabbed, who gets charged!
Islam: the world’s worst GUTTER religion

“Over a hundred masked men showed up at the police station…”
Amazing how a tiny minority of extremists can suddenly arise, organize, and act like that, in modern, moderate, secular Tunisia, of all places.

I was just thinking that, Rod—not exactly a “tiny minority of extremists” after all…
And this is hardly uncommon. Mohammedans can often get up a violent Muslim mob of hundreds or even thousands on the spur of the moment.

the Allah god of Islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) encourages its slaves to take vengeance. and this slave seems to be nation building by it, using a blade.
vengeance for what? the Jews being CHOSEN by the Unique God to be His people. for from the line of Abraham would come the One Descendant, who would be a blessing to ALL.
the slave has probably never heard that being entrapped by SHARIA (a slaver’s tool) from which he models the worst of all examples of moral behavior as found in Muhammad.
there’s no justice here. no righteousness. the Allah god of Islam is neither Just nor Righteous; its subjects are its products.

Boakai, I think we both know who “Allah” really is. Strength and perseverance to you.
Charli Main says
The Jews are God´s chosen people and the Muslims are Satan´s chosen people.
That’s why Muslims are totally fixated on the destruction of the Jews. They are obeying the commands of their master Satan, as recorded in the Satanic Bible—AKA- the Koran

The beast within is unleashed and the Muslim enslaved.
Islam is not about Love or Hope or even Faith.

Hey Jihad Watchers… 11:00am USA Central Time, Saturday May 24th, 2014- there has a been a MASS MURDER AT A JEWISH MUSEUM IN BELGIUM. Three are confirmed dead… with others injured.
It hasn’t been stated yet… but does anyone know if the murderer is a Muslim?
Regardless, of the murderer’s identity… here is something that is SUPER DISGUSTING AND SICK. My European contacts have said that Muslims they know in Antwerp and Brussells… and someplace called Ghent?? are all rejoicing over this. The MUZSLIMES IN BELGIUM are REJOICING OVER THESE MURDERS AT THIS JEWISH MUSEUM.
What is wrong with this world?

I read this at 2:20 pm EDT — I share your shock and disgust!

Arjay, there is now official suspicion that this was a Jihad attack. The story is covered here:
“Authorities suspect Islamic jihadists behind murder of four at Brussels Jewish Museum”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/05/authorities-suspect-islamic-jihadists-behind-murder-of-four-at-brussels-jewish-museum
My first thought when I heard this horrible story was that the gunman was likely a member of the “religion of peace”.
Jay Boo says
“Radical Islam”
Be extra careful with “Radical Islam”
Radical Islam is the euphemism for Qur’an inspired jihad terror.
Politicians like John McCain and Hillary Clinton have realized that, in order not to offend the sensibilities of Muslims the easiest thing to do is mimic the sanitized labels that CAIR spoon feeds to the news media.
“Radical Islam” implies that Islamic terrorism is simply a more assertive activist form of Islam chosen by Muslims who claim victimhood and that the ‘real’ solution to terrorism is to offer even more appeasement so they would not feel so inclined to join in ‘freedom fighter alliances’ in defense of perceived injustices.

Damned good thing Israel has a different idea of appeasing all those lying muzzie victims, eh, JB?

Many Jews have already left Djerba for Israel and France. How many Jews worldwide have had to leave their home from places like Djerba because of Muslim violence? There are far more Jewish refugees than Muslim ones.
Ayatrollah says
The real question is how did he violate the dhimmi pact
gravenimage says
The victim probably just “violated the dhimma” by not having a subservient enough manner, Ayatrollah.
I do know that many of the Jews in Djerba were there for the pilgrimage, and weren’t dhimmis at all, but free Jews from Europe or Israel.
They probably believed that Tunisia was safer for them post “Arab Spring”—but, really, nothing could be further from the truth…
Douglas says
And they call this a religion of Peace. These radicals are hurting this belief. The honest Muslim should start cleaning house and not anytime too soon.
