Michael Enright (right)
21-year-old university student, Michael Enright, attacked a Muslim cab driver, Ahmed Sharif, in an act of unprovoked violence. Enright, who spent time in Afghanistan, making a documentary, was branded drunk by the police and taken into custody.
Enright entered Sharif's cab, questioned him if he is Muslim and after a few minutes, slashed the driver's face and arm. Alcohol clearly played a role in this regrettable incident. Assaulting law abiding Muslims, is no better than the Taliban or Al Qaeda attacking law abiding Americans. Violence solves nothing.
Tensions have been running high in New York, regarding the 9/11 mosque, which the Judiciary Report opposes, as it is a national security risk. However, it is important for both sides to talk things through, without violence being an option for anyone.
