I really did not want to touch this, until ALL of the facts are out. There are many on the right, who are distorting this story badly. Further more, there are some on the left who are as well.
Here is the truth. A Cab Driver picks up a man; the cab driver is a Muslim. The man asks driver if he is a Muslim, the driver says yes, and the man proceeds to stab him rather badly. The Cab Driver locks his car and calls 911.
The man who did it, worked for a production company as a volunteer and went to Pakistan. He also did work for the Park51 group as well, as did the company he worked for.
The problem with these stories is this; both sides, left and right, rush to make it one of their own —- instead of waiting for the facts to come out.
The facts are, my friends, that a Muslim man was stabbed and is in the hospital; and there is a lone nut in a jail cell somewhere. I think that both sides of this debate need to take a step back and relax a little. Because this is going to keep on, until someone ends up dead; and that my friends, is the last thing we need right now.
I believe that both sides, left and right, both need to cool it. Before the unthinkable happens.
Update: The New York Post shows it’s damned inane stupidity, their headline:
Driver claims his throat was slashed after telling passenger he was Muslim
Claims? CLAIMS??!?!? Wow. 😯
Pardon my sarcasm here, but, “Yeah we put claims, because you cannot ever trust those stupid sand nigger towel heads, they never tell truth….”
Oh.My.God I cannot believe Murdock would stoop that low. 🙁
I am ashamed of being even a moderate-minded Conservative at this moment. 😡

Dude, seriously are you trying to outdo ponytail boy in who can be the bigger douchebag. According to your “facts” the cab driver was stabbed, but then you complain when the news article says the cab driver made the claim his throat was slashed. Well stabbed and slashed are completely different, also if the cab driver said his throat was slashed he was making a “claim;” “to say, without proof or evidence, that something is true.”
Lance, er, um, I mean, Bob,
My gripe was with the word, “CLAIMS“, not the method of cutting.
As for the ponytail boy thing; two words. Fuck You.
That is all.
Reading the article, it sounds as if the author of the article was just reporting the information about the attack from the police, not the victim himself. Hence the word “claim.”
That could very well be. I just didn’t like the wording. As to imply he was lying or something. The post is good for that.
Isn’t the possessive of “it” spelled without an apostrophe?
re: The Obligatory Cab Driver Stabbed because he is a Muslim Posting New York Post shows it’s stupidity
Good point. Thanks. I shall fix it. Thank you again. 😀
