UPDATED - ALERT - Frightening Text Messages Being Forwarded Around NY Jews January 2, 2009 3:00PM EST: [UPDATE BELOW] With the situation in Gaza deteriorating by the day, and anti-semitism rampant around the world, thousands of NY Jews were frightened upon receiving the following text message which has been going around on Friday afternoon:
“A Jewish woman gave a tip to a Muslim taxi driver and out of appreciation he warned her not to go to Manhattan next week Wednesday.”
YWN has reached out to high-ranking members of the NYPD, and have stated that although they received the same text message, “there are no credible threats to be concerned about - and don’t even know where this text message originated from”.
The only message that they do have for the public is the same message that they have been saying since 9/11. That message is “always be aware of your surroundings, be vigilant, and if you see anything suspicious contact the police department immediately to report what you have seen”.
UPDATE 3:50PM EST: YWN has just spoken with NYS Assemblyman Dov Hikind who tells us that he has received various reports regarding this ‘threat’ and has personally contacted the FBI who is currently investigating them.
He thanked YWN for our alert to calm the public, and echoed the call for calm and vigilance at anytime and any location. “If you see something, say something,” Hikind said.
“The FBI and the NYPD take these types of threats very seriously, and investigate them thoroughly to ensure the safety of the public.”
May Hashem protect us from no harm - no matter where in the world we are located.

Thank you for FR, Jim!
What, you mean you don’t have a Jew/Not Jew setting on your phone? It’s one of my options.
Mine has a Jew/Goy/Gay setting.
index.
Thank you, Race...and I’m sorry for all the flak you’re taking!!!
Maybe if enough people believed the radar reports they received, the Japs might never have made it to Pearl Harbor and thousands of souls would have lived.
Terrorist attacks rely on naysayers; it gives them success.
People try to shoot the messenger. Thank goodness security forces follow through!
Let's pray it's stopped before it happens.
Yes.
To the best of this English major’s knowledge, ee cummings did not write haiku.
A new message from Al Qaeda second in command Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri entitled “The Massacre in Gaza and the Siege of the Traitors” was released this afternoon by As Sahab.
The message, in the form of an audio tape played over a still image, is 10 minutes, 18 seconds in length.
In the message, Zawahiri says: “Be strong and persist in the way of Jihad. The whole Muslim ummah is united with you. We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world. We are at work to carry out the promise of our fighting sheikh Osama Bin Laden (may Allah protect him) who promised that America will not live in peace in their dreams before before we live in peace in Palestine, and until all the forces of the infidels leave the lands of Muhammed.”

Zawahiri, on FNC’s crawler, instructed his followers to attack Zionist and Crusaders ‘any way you can’.
No?
Then I guess all those rumors flying around (see the links in this thread) are new and real and, by gosh, so darned important that ALL CAPS are necessary to drive home the point.
Tell you what, you apologize to me when it doesn’t happen (and no using the ol’excuse that getting the “word” out foiled the plot). I’ll do the same if the opposite happens.
Deal?
Thanks for posting this!
If it’s nothing, then God be praised!
But it’s better to be safe (and prepared) than sorry.
And for those naysayers here on FR, I pray you are wrong, but I hope you also are prepared for anything.
Does it mention the Stromg Horse™?
>>An attack of the coffee carts would cripple NYC for a decade.<<<
Starbucks Revenge!
Indeed.
FR has some very smart and insightful people, but apparently we have our share of the gullible.
apologize for what? That’s ridiculous.
