As we see so often with the establishment media, the first priority seems to be to make sure that no one thinks ill of Islam. When I posted it here at Jihad Watch this morning, the WABC article said this: “Police: Livery driver beat man walking to synagogue in Brooklyn,” by Lucy Yang, WABC, October 15, 2018 (another posting of the same version is here):
…An arrest was made quickly on the scene. Eyewitness News is told Farrukh Afzal from Staten Island drove for a car service in Brooklyn, and has been arrested numerous times.
Schwartz says Afzal yelled ‘Allah’ during the assault.
“I went to him when he was handcuffed, ‘what did I do to you that you tried to murder me? Tell me.’ He didn’t answer back,” added Schwartz….
Now the same article reads this way (thanks to Kamala):
…An arrest was made quickly on the scene. Eyewitness News is told 37-year-old Farrukh Afzal, from Staten Island, drove for a car service in Brooklyn and has been arrested numerous times.
“I went to him when he was handcuffed, ‘what did I do to you that you tried to murder me? Tell me,'” Schwartz said. “He didn’t answer back.”…
Unfortunately for WABC, the UK’s Daily Mail has the “Allah” detail, although it may have picked it up from the earlier version of the WABC report:
“New York cab driver shouting ‘Allah’ brutally beats man, 62, on his way to synagogue in the middle of the road in anti-Jewish hate crime,” Daily Mail, October 15, 2018:
A 62-year-old Jewish man claims his attacker repeatedly shouted ‘Allah’ as he beat him in the middle of the road in Brooklyn, New York Sunday morning.
Lipa Schwartz was on his way to synagogue when livery driver Farrukh Afzal, 37, battered him until another Hasidic man came to the rescue….
A shoe store employee who witnessed the attack and declined to give his name told New York Daily News that it seemed to be an attack on the Jewish community.
The worker said: ‘He was screaming at him that he hates the Jews and he would like to kill all the Jews.’
As you can see above, the Daily Mail also picked up from the New York Daily News a witness saying that the perpetrator was screaming about wanting to kill all the Jews:
“SEE IT: Livery cab driver beats Borough Park man in anti-Jewish hate crime,” by Emilie Ruscoe and Esha Ray, New York Daily News, October 14, 2018:
Surveillance video captures the moment a livery cab driver allegedly attacked a 62-year-old Jewish man in what’s being described as a hate crime.
A livery cab driver shouting anti-Semitic epithets beat a Jewish man during an argument on a Brooklyn street Sunday morning, police said.
Farrukh Afzal, 37, attacked man at the intersection of 13th Ave. and 46th St. in Borough Park around 7:20 a.m., said cops.
Afzal dragged his victim — identified by a relative as 62-year-old Lipa Schwartz — into the intersection and pummeled him wildly, surveillance video shows.
“He was screaming at him that he hates the Jews and he would like to kill all the Jews,’” said a shoe store employee who witnessed the attack and declined to give his name….

This was very bad. I’m 62, have had four major surgeries on my right ear. I would not have survived a pounding on my head like that, on the right side. The British have gone mad. How can they tolerate and play islamophobe with this madness ? How long before the field an entirely muslim crew on one of their ballistic missile boats ?

This happened in Brooklyn, NY. It’s happening in the US.

Dumb Americans give him the filthy violent Quaran to read while in prison, so each time he is incarcerated he gets more indoctrinated as well.

Arrested numerous times is a less factual way of simply saying he’s catch and release … and will be released again.

She traded her blindfold for a niquab. More appropriate for Sharia law.

Guy: The culprit is a PAKI. MUSLIM who are the most INTOLERANT towards the JEWS and the CHRISTIANS,To set an example for other Muslims in America,he should be deported back to Pakistan and his American citizenship revoked.
Guy Forester says
Agreed! And thanks for the updated info. I would like to know what the rap sheet says!
Greg Murphy says
The whole story from WABC said it was road rage related?!
mgoldberg says
I dont’ recall which outlet had this addition, but they tried to claim it was a ‘road rage’ incident where the driver confused the walker with someone else with whom he’d had an earlier accident. How could that be accurate??, he attacks a Hassidic guy, in his 60’s, walking as all hassid’s do on Shabbas. No similarlity to anyone else driving unless you assume he thinks it’s ok to assault a guy almost 30 yrs his senior. Still assault no matter how they twist the story, and viciious and cowardly too boot.
The Remorseless Headsman says
An earlier article praised as “history making” that two Muslim women, one from Michigan and the other from Minnesota, are slated to be the first Muslim women to serve in Congress. Will it be just as “history making” when they vote to overrule our Constitution in favor of Sharia?
Jaladhi says
Here is an example of a “moderate” Muslim doing allah’s bidding!! Why are these people allowed to come to any non-Muslim country?
And we all too well what is wrong with our MSM and political leaders! These people are traitors of first order – they have no interest in protecting their own citizens rom the murderers.
Jaladhi says
typo:
And we all know too well what is wrong with our MSM and political leaders! These people are traitors of first order – they have no interest in protecting their own citizens from the murderers.
Guy Forester says
To find out why such vital info is scrubbed, find out who is a partner, major advertiser, owns large shares of stock, and who sits on the BOD of these companies.
Terra Nova says
Traitors of the first order, you said and that is so righting most citizens are obviously not capable to think for themselves or to stupid. This all goes faster then in Hitler’s time. In Europe almost all governments and citizens layed themselves down and said: Please, please, you don’t have to use your prayer mats on the streets, we are here for you, we are laying down on the streets, and you can walk all over us, so your shoes don’t get thirty. How else can we serve you, Sirs?
And those laying down are the citizens, the same citizens who do not dare to open their mouths and let their fellow citizens, being beheaded, raped, robbed, destroy things, etc. I am not going to write down the list again.
People who abide by this violent religion, should be KICKED OUT IMMEDIATELY and moderate muslims
are existing, but whenever there will be a clash, they will go for their own violent people.
And we are still taking them in.
Governments, are you that stupid, you keep everything secret, you don’t want to rock the boat.
YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING IN THE BEGINNING TO PROTECT YOUR CITIZENS.
Now it get worse by the day and some day soon, it will be enough, for all of us. Why can not Christians
get political asylum and only muslims, not even a nun?
And why isn’t your Pope saying or doing anything to protect the Christians, who are getting killed and burned by the thousands.Very soon the Pope has to look for another job. Oh no, he has a good pension.
As a matter of fact, after the 2nd world war, people were all saying :” Never again!” And would you believe it, WITHIN 73 YEARS WE ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION ! Then the Germans did not stand up,(of course there were some really good ones who tried and a lot lost their lives), but as a nation and the germans thought to do better now, to let a very violent religion of people enter Europe, to be blast out of their own countries, because they are so “Christian and human”
You have not understood anything about Christianity, you took the lame way out, don’t rock the boat, otherwise the conquerers might get angry. You all could have voted your Governments out and vote for a parlement who would protect you, you could have opened your mouths at least, but you did nothing
like lame sheep, One running after the other.
Your children and grandchildren will thank you for that. I am all for peace, but when I get attacked in this way……. But the muslims got what they wanted, put so much fear into you, that you became lame, and especially Germany who has been incredible to keep the peace. The history repeats itself and when it repeats itself, you have not learned anything. Disgusting and so cowardly under the lie of `christianity.
You can still love your enemy , but stop them from taking over your countries. That is your duty as far as I see it, because it is impossible now to ever trust a muslim, Never ever. Nice job you did !!! And thank you so much and thanks to the police too who is working along and don’t do their job.
There is no justice any more, you took away our freedom of speech, yes give them their private mosks
soon, so they don’ have to occupy the streets with their praying.. You have given them their Sharia, they are planning everything. We have not seen the end of this yet.

NO MORE BRINGING THESE PEOPLE HERE. They hate Americans and they hate Jewish people. This is definitely a hate crime. Thank you to New York Cuomo and D’Blasio the scum of the earth politicians who want these people to have freedom to assault and kill. They are on the wrong side of our laws and our Country. STOP THE INVASION and REPATRIATE THESE MUSLIMS BACK HOME. I hear Syria is safe now for them to be returned to. Even if not, these men that have invaded America are able-bodied enough to build their own countries and protect their own families right there. Enough of this destroying our Republic just because the Demonrats like the power over the people.
Eric says
Why are we not allowed to call things by their right name. Muslims are anti Christian and anti Jewish. Muslims want to rule the world through their religion and they want to purge the world of non believers with blood and fire and any means available.
kbetts says
1400 years of state sponsored terror using the tools of rape, murder, blackmail, slavery, hostages, ransom, and suppression of freedom for the purpose of personal gain. This methodology was successful like any bullying until the courage was found to stand up to the tactics no matter what the cost. Like all cowards, these economically driven bully’s favorite target are those that won’t fight back. Christians are charged with forgiving their enemies and returning hatred with love. 40 of the 50 countries on the religious persecution watch list have a population of more than 50% who profess this economic belief system. Of the many thousands of Christians who are martyrs each year, the vast majority are executed by those instituting economic warfare on their fellow citizens. These are the same tactics Hitler used on the Jews to confiscate massive wealth.
What economic tactic am I referring to? Jihad.
How do should the west react to this economic warfare? Make it economically nonviable, of course. Hit them in the pocket book until they scream. Tax them, blockade them, sanction them, and wreak havoc on their income streams. It’s working that cesspool of Iran and it will work every time it’s tried. Don’t kill them, make them pay.
Mark Berlinger says
The First Priority of Corporate Media and Leftist Government…
is to insure that no one thinks ill of Islam.
