Bizarre, ain't it? thank god they NYPD caught this Savage Schmuck, send his ass to Sing Sing or 20 years.
A boozed-up bigot who just returned from filming U.S. Marines in Afghanistan used a pocket knife to slash a cabbie - just because the driver was Muslim, police said Wednesday.
Michael Enright, 21, of upstate Brewster, was charged with felony attempted murder as a hate crime
-In an odd twist, Enright was a volunteer for Intersections International, a Manhattan-based group that promotes peace among different religions. A spokesman confirmed he was filming for the group, which recently threw its support behind the controversial Park 51 mosque project near Ground Zero.

And the Blame is already being lodged against those who Oppose the Mosque.
Governor Paterson:
ALBANY (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Albany) - Gov. Paterson (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/David+Paterson) said an attack on Muslim cab driver Wednesday is exactly what the 9-11 terrorists were hoping for when they took down the World Trade Center (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/World+Trade+Center).
Paterson, appearing on the John Gambling (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/John+Gambling) show on WOR-AM, stopped short of saying the attack was a direct result of the intense battle over a planned mosque and community center near ground zero.
Mayor Bloomberg:
Mayor Bloomberg (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Michael+Bloomberg), who spoke to Sharif and invited him to City Hall Friday, said the unprovoked attack was clearly "motivated by anti-Muslim bias."
"I assured him that ethnic or religious bias has no place in our city," Bloomberg said of his conversation with Sharif.
"This attack runs counter to everything that New Yorkers believe, no matter what God we pray to.
