Will the Islamophobia never end?
“Shirtless Man Who Threatened Jewish Man in Crown Heights May Face Hate Crime Charges,” by Mark Hirshberg, JP Updates, April 4, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A man who was roaming the streets in Crown Heights on Friday without a shirt and a wielding a four-inch knife in his hand while yelling at a Lubavitcher Chusid “Allah Akbar” may soon face hate crime charges, sources familiar with the investigation told JP.
Police say 25-year-old Naquan Smith, who has a criminal history with 10 prior arrests in New York City, was in front of 899 Montgomery Street with the knife in his hand Friday afternoon.
Schneer Goldstein was at the intersection of Montgomery Street and Schenectady Avenue when he observed Smith with the knife in hand. Goldstein called 911 and Crown Heights shomrim. While waiting for their arrival, the anti-crime team from the 67th Precinct passed by and Goldstein flagged them down and they held down Smith.
Shomrim member Natan Shusterman arrived on the scene and recovered the knife, a law enforcement official said. Smith was then placed under arrest by responding police officer Michael Mercado from the 71th Precinct, and Smith was charged with menacing and criminal possession of a weapon.
The Hate Crime Unit from the Brooklyn district attorney’s office is now further investigating the incident to determine if Smith should face hate crime charges, sources said….

Of course he will never be charged with a hate crime no matter how blatant his actions!
Jack says
With things the way they are now I wouldn’t be surprised if the man that called the cops ended up having to take sensitivity training and to apologize to the shirtless maniac for causing him undue stress.

Everyone knows that Muslims can’t commit ‘hate crimes’….when Muslims react to kafirs, who offend them by existing, the kafirs have it coming to them.
It’s only kafirs who commit ‘hate crimes’ by asking Muslims embarrassing questions about their misogynistic Death Cult or fail to recognize Islam as the Master Religion..
Angry Aussie says
Lock him up with only a Torah as company. If he is that easily influenced by the Qur’an, it might do him some good. Throw in a Bible and play Tibetan Monks chanting for good measure. If that doesn’t work, a lobotomy might assist. Actually, maybe just make mandatory lobotomy in cases like this?
Peter Charles says
He’s obviously more than a few bricks shy of a load…..
Jack says
LOL: Yes he is Peter and there are many more just like him; if they aren’t already in our towns today chances are likely they’re on the way.
Rev g says
I disagree with the “hate crime” concept, but since it exists, it should be applied equally. Fat chance.
mgoldbeg says
I agree… the idea of ‘hate crime’ is warped. It is simply a crime and for that there should be hard labor and
fines for him to pay for the cost of his incarceration. Now that would be justice.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
You are quite right. I remember in law school in the mid-90’s, learning about ‘hate crimes’ I even then reacted with disgust. ‘Anyone murdered by anybody for any reason is exactly the same, DEAD.’
Thank God PC was just getting ramped up at that time so I was ‘permitted’ to express this [racist-homophobic-sexist-islamophobic] idea. Today of course, I’d be expelled and arrested.
Jan Aage Jeppesen says
Did the Muslim intend to commit a crime? Or should he just feel lucky the police did not shoot him?
The story reminded me of a dialogue Dirty Harry had with the Mayor:
“Mayor: I don’t want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore District. Understand? That’s my policy.
Insp. Harry Callahan: Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard; that’s my policy.
Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Insp. Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn’t out collecting for the Red Cross.
Mayor: [after Callahan has left] I think he’s got a point.”

………………………..
What utter rot. A Muslim threatens a Jewish man with a knife while screaming the Islamic war cry, and the egregious Jan Aage Jeppersen pretends that the *assailant* is the victim.
But then, given his history, that’s about what I’d expect from this apologist for evil.
MTMLA says
He’s being sarcastic, not being an apologist.
linnte says
What’s a Shomrim? Anybody know? And as for the “hate crime” issue-if Muslims can file complaints of hate crimes we had just better do the same thing! What’s good for the goose eh?
Mak says
Shomrim is “security” (plural). “Bitakhon” is another common word used for security.
ElderlyZionist says
In Hebrew a ‘shomer’ is a watchman and ‘shomrim’ is the plural. In many places, Jewish self-defense/security organizations call themselves Shomrim.
mike ryan says
Shomrim means “guards.” Shmirah is security. Ditto on bitachon, which also means trust.
Angemon says
Isn’t accusing a mslim of a crime a “hate crime” by itself? At least, according to CAIR and muslims?
MTMLA says
If he had killed somebody he would be called A LONE WOLF…and right away it would be clarified that what he did had nothing to do with islam. He and Mohammed hijacked the religion of peace , I guess.
Oceanside says
Enough with the “hate crimes”. The crime is that the man was threatening to attack someone with a knife.
Prosecute actions, not thoughts or perceived thoughts.
Walter Sieruk says
This Muslim thug as described the above report did have a criminal history. so his violent criminal mindset is heinously enhanced by the violent and brutal religion that is Islam.The mix of a violent man with violent religion had awful outcomes ,as may be seen above. In addition, not only does the Koran instruct in violence, 4:89; 5:33. 9,5,111,123. 47;4. but still further the Koran also teaches that the Jewish people are descendants of swine and apes.2:65.; 7:166; 5:60. The end result of this is much evil and madness.
the Bible reflects this wickedness .and insanity. For it is written “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” Ecclesiastes 9:3. [N.I.V.]
Mandy Jonas says
The army of Satan worships and encourages death. The army of The Lord worships and encourages life. Muslims worship and encourage death for themselves and for anyone who isn’t Muslim. Getting the picture?
Sam says
Another Isolated incident which has nothing to do with the religion of peace.
