#1 Prosecutors had said in a court document that Melendez, 30, declared I dont like Muslims and used an insulting term for Muslims or Arabs while attacking a man who was wearing a traditional Muslim prayer cap and trying to get off a subway train in lower Manhattan.

So he just saw they guy and proceeded to beat him up after uttering the two unimaginative requisite anti-muslim comments. Check.

Crespo and Melendez are friends, and Crespo dates Melendez sister; Melendez own longtime girlfriend is from a Muslim family, Keith said.

Ooh. Didn't count on that one, did you. Better just ignore it since it doesn't help with denial.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations said it had heard from Muslims outraged by the attack and the result of the grand jury proceedings.

I'll bet they have. Happens when folks don't wait for all the facts before they pass judgment. Must be hard living with a religion that advocates using violence when people aren't violent to you. Kinda unfair and inhuman. Oh well. Allan says otherwise.

#2 Falls directly under the golden rule, "Treat othere as you wish to be treated.

If you're a murderous religious nut who preaches DEATH TO ALL NON MUSLIMS you have NO right to complain about attacks against YOU, Including deadly ones.
