As reported here, [a] man has been charged following a double knife attack on two Orthodox Jews in Golders Green.
Mohamed Jama Ahmed, 37, of North Circular Road, Cricklewood, was arrested after two stabbings which happened just meters apart in roads off Golders Green Road on Friday.
A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said the attacks, which happened at around 6pm, appear to have been random and unprovoked, but were not being treated as faith hate crimes.
Hmmmm. Let me see if I get this right here ... Mohamed Jama Ahmed (I'm presuming from his name that this is a Muslim man) attacked two Orthodox Jews in seperate incidents on the same day in basically the same neighborhood, and this is not being treated as faith hate crimes?
How much you wanna bet that if the perpetrator had been a Jew or a Christian, and the victims Muslim, that the perpetrator would be facing the full weight of Her Majesties Courts through being charged with a faith hate crime?
The bending over backwards of the Europeans/English to not offend in any way, shape, or form, "Muslim sensibilities", is getting to the disgusting stage now, perhaps even beyond.
I'm not an advocate for special "hate crime" legislation - I feel that most of the laws on the books against crimes like this are perfectly adequate without getting all emo about it and throwing in the term "hate" - but this seems to me to be exactly that - a hate crime based on the fact that the two victims were Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Jews are very obvious from their appearance, so it's also obvious - at least to me - that the two victims were targeted for their faith.
Here's hoping that ol' Mohamed gets the book thrown at him - the book of "non-hate crimes" law that is.
