Here.A city cab driver is in the hospital after being stabbed by a passenger who allegedly asked if he was Muslim, police tell NY1.
Investigators with the New York City Police Department say it all began Monday night when a 21-year-old man hailed a cab at 24th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan.
Police say the passenger asked the driver, "Are you Muslim?" When the driver said yes the passenger pulled a knife and slashed him in the throat, arm and lip.
The 43-year-old driver was able to lock the passenger in the back of the cab and call 911.
Both the driver and the passenger were taken to Bellevue Hospital.
As of late Tuesday, no charges had been filed.
Let's be careful about such stories. I remember on a website recently the locals starting to rant about people who got attacked "because they were Tea-Partiers!", when it turned out just to be a random beating by some drunk punks.Sionnach Glic wrote:Article about Islamophobia

Assuming the story is true, of course. I've never heard of the source before, so I've no idea how reliable is.
