After all of the anti-Muslim rhetoric surrounding the debate about Park51, it didn’t come as a surprise to many that someone took it to the next level. As Michael Tomasky reported on his blog, a New York City cab driver, Ahmed Sharif, was stabbed yesterday after the perpetrator asked “Are you Muslim?”

Initial reports on Michael Enright, the young man who has been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, among other things, show him as an untroubled young man who was working as a volunteer with an interfaith project and who had travelled to Afghanistan to film a documentary on US soldiers. His neighbours and colleagues have gone to the media to tell them Enright is “a nice boy”. Multiple reports have referred to him as “baby-faced”.
