What do you do when you have a group of religious people who believe that it is their right and duty to harass, attack, and even kill people of other faiths? Europe doesn’t know what to do about the problem and it may very well become a big problem for us in 10 years.
From WCBS TV:
BROOKLYN (CBS) A Brooklyn rabbi is speaking out after a scary encounter with a man accused of snatching his yarmulke off his head.
Rabbi Uria Ohana’s crash course on street justice — and the justice — system continues.
“I got a call from the district attorney,” Ohana said. “I’m going to testify in front of the grand jury.”
The case is against 18-year old Ali Hussein, accused of snatching Ohana’s yarmulke last week inside a park slope subway station. It was an offense Ohana says he couldn’t let pass.
“I decided to chase him to get my yarmulke back,” Ohana said.
…
Rabbi Ohana says as he ran back down the station’s stairs two of Hussein’s friends got up from this bench and chased him out of the station.
“They were screaming ‘Allah Akhbar (God is great) and punching my face,” Ohana said.
But Ohana says things came to a head when Hussein was hit by a car as he ran out onto Fourth Avenue. EMS officials confirm responding to a call at that time and location for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.
