Cops probe anti-Muslim knife attack

A relieved MSM finally finds some Canadian "Islamophobia" to play up
Thank goodness, it was getting to be such a dry spell for them ...
MONTREAL -- A suspected hate crime is being investigated after a Muslim imam was attacked by a knife-wielding man outside his mosque. A 34-year-old man was charged in court yesterday with armed assault, uttering threats and possession of a dangerous weapon and will appear again tomorrow. Police say Pierre Brabant was arrested Friday after an incident outside of the Al Qods mosque.

Imam Said Jazeri said he and a friend were leaving the mosque around midnight when a man carrying a knife approached. The man pointed the knife at Jazeri and asked: "Do you want to die a martyr?" Jazeri said he called police while the man chased his friend down the street.

"I don't know him, he doesn't me. Why does he have a knife to kill me?" said an agitated Jazeri yesterday.
There are any number of decent folks who have the same question, though they ask it about different people. Welcome to the club, imam.
Police spokesman Benoit Couture said investigators consider the attack a hate crime. "The suspect was not only running towards the guys with a weapon, he wanted to cause them harm while at the same time making hateful comments about their religion and their clothing," Couture said.

Jazeri said it will be up to police to determine if there was a link between the incident and recent anger directed at Muslims following last weekend's arrest of 17 terror suspects in southern Ontario. "These people have prejudices and it looks like it has to do with our situation these days," he said.

The problem will be solved when Canada becomes part of dar al-islam.
Then when "The Religion Of Peace" is in charge immoral and disorderly conduct will cease, or so Godly Muslims believe.

#7  Here's the part left out of that particular report:

Jazeri is a prominent voice in Montreal's Muslim community. His mosque was among four in the city to be vandalized after he organized a protest against the controversial editorial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

Random anti-musilm violence? Not so much. We've seen what happens at these cartoon protests around the world. The 34 year old still deserves to be thrown in jail. Escalating homegrown violence is the worst way to deal with this problem, lest we become another France.

It's in the AP Stylebook.

#4  Not so funny, is it, Jazeri, when nutbars come at you screaming death? Like looking in a mirror isn't it? How's that feel?

Your brethren didn't know the people they were going to kill with their three tons of explosives. Ask them questions like that.

Oh, wait. This guy knows EXACTLY why they were doing what they were doing. He's a freaking imam -- he's the type that teaches them that crap.

For the same reason that Osama and the assmen want to kill us. Now, exactly what do you "preach" in that mosk of your, hmmmmm? Maybe he sees an attack on you as self defense.

#1  One day they'll have a monument immortalizing Pierre Brabant in a central plaza in Montreal. Or, they'll have a whipping post for Dhimmies.
