A German court has jailed a Muslim of Afghan origin for three and a half years for stabbing an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in the stomach in the street.
The court in the south-western city of Frankfurt convicted Sajed Aziz, 23, of grievous bodily harm.
Witnesses said he had shouted anti-Semitic insults at the victim, Rabbi Zalman Gurevitch, 43.
The case sparked a discussion in Germany about whether there were no-go areas for Jews in some cities.
Passing the sentence, Judge Klaus Drescher said there had not been enough evidence to support the original charge of attempted manslaughter.
Rabbi Gurevitch's injuries were not life-threatening.
However, he noted that Aziz had clearly called Mr Gurevitch a "Jewish pig".
Aziz admitted in court that he had stabbed his victim on a Frankfurt street on 7 September 2007 but called it self-defence, saying Mr Gurevitch had grabbed him by the collar.
The rabbi said Aziz had first shouted anti-Semitic slurs at him, then plunged a nearly three-inch (7-cm) blade into his lower abdomen.
A big misunderstanding, I say. Afghanistan-born Aziz tried to convince the rabbi that Jews were safe in Muslim neighborhoods within German cities. The hard-headed Jew was not convinced, so Aziz became a tad irritated and marked his disapproval the Afghan way.
Sarcasm aside, there is a reason why some countries are a mess. It's very often because these countries' culture promotes hatred and violence. The lack of self-control and violent impulses of their inhabitants do not magically disappear when they are transplanted in a Western country. Especially when said Western country thinks that all alien cultures are better than its own!
The funny (so to speak) thing is that most European rabbis constantly preach the virtues of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural societies. One can hope that this rabbi, at least, will go against the prevalent BS.
Mass deportation and the implementation of a policy equivalent of Southerners picking their own damned cotton in lieu of 3rd world types being imported.
Stabbing rabbis used to be legal in Germany, and the way things are going it will be legal again soon.
Sajed Aziz’s TIMING was just a little off.
Let’s see, now. Calling someone a “Muslim pig” is a “hate crime” in Germany.
But I did not notice any mention of a “hate crime” conviction of Mr. Aziz for calling the rabbi a “Jewish pig”.
Double standard?
Correct ... double standard based on the hypocrisy of dhmmitude.
When it turned out that they had to, someone invented a mechanical way to pick it. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Is there ANYWHERE Muslims live in peace with non-Muslims?
Seems there is not...
Therefore, why are Muslims ALLOWED as immigrants ANYWHERE in the non-Muslim world?
It’s appears that ANY level of Muslim presence is exposing society to a built in time bomb, as Mosques continue to preach the death and destruction called for in the Koran...
I’m surprised that this hasn’t yet happened in the U.S.
Yes the knife in the stomach just didn't provide enough evidence!
Lemme think about that.... ummm.... NO!

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
How would the Islamic world respond if a German Jew got 3.5 years for stabbing an Afghan?
High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel, WOT

No surprise there.
No siree, no misleading politically correct censorship in the title of this article whatsoever! [/sarcasm]
I suspected this "German" would turn out to be a Muslim!
“The case sparked a discussion in Germany about whether there were no-go areas for Jews in some cities.”
Again!?
