It is a very shocking news for the muslim ummah.
Ahmed Sharif, a taxi driver from Bangladesh.
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'la gives him the Hayat -e-tayyibah.
Allahu Akbar....Allahumma A'izzal islama wal muslimeen.
here goes the news:
NEW YORK — A Muslim cab driver stabbed in an alleged hate attack in New York was due to meet Mayor Michael Bloomberg Thursday.
Cabbie Ahmed H. Sharif, 43, also planned to join representatives from the New York City Taxi Workers Alliance in a press conference to call for an end to bigotry and anti-Islamic rhetoric in the debate over plans to build an Islamic center and mosque two blocks north of ground zero.
Prosecutors charged baby-faced college student Michael Enright Wednesday with using a folding knife to slash the neck and face of the taxi's Bangladeshi driver after the driver said he's Muslim. Police said Enright was drunk at the time.
Enright once volunteered with a group, called Intersections International, that promotes interfaith tolerance and had recently filmed a documentary in Afghanistan — actions distinctly at odds with what authorities say happened inside a city taxi.
A representative of Intersections International, which supports the mosque project, called the attack "tragic."
"We've been working very hard to build bridges between folks from different religions and cultures," the Rev. Robert Chase said. "This is really shocking and sad for us."
