NYC: Muslim(?) Stabs Rabbi Eight Times, No One Has Any Idea Why That Might Have Happened

A Rabbi was injured in a stabbing in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood Thursday, according to a pair of advocacy groups. 
The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League’s New England chapter said the victim was Rabbi Shlomo Noginski of Shaloh House, a Chabad center that runs a school, camp and more. 
Both groups condemned what happened as the police continue to investigate. 
Khaled Awad, of Brighton, was arrested on charges of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a police officer, according to a Boston police news release. He will be arraigned in Brighton District Court; it wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to the charges. 
It wasn't yet clear what happened in the stabbing, or what motivated it, but the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League, while praying for Noginski's reovery, spoke to the fear the Jewish community has felt about anti-Semitism and violence. 
"This terrible crime underscores the sense of vulnerability that many in the Jewish community feel today. Anti-Jewish activism has become a viral menace," AJC New England Regional Director Rob Leikind said in a statement. 
"As this investigation unfolds, we call for full transparency so that the community gets answers as to why a Jewish rabbi was stabbed outside his house of worship," said Robert Trestan, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League New England, in a statement.

A few days before this some maniac shot two people to death in Winthrop, MA, across the harbor from Boston, for no other reason than their color, judging from the "white supremacist" material found in his residence and an abandoned backpack. The screaming about "hate!!" and waving of BLM signs has been non-stop since then.

So far the slave of Allah who nearly murdered this unarmed Rabbi has been characterized as "mentally unstable" with reluctant acknowledgment of his rabid anti-semitism by a former roommate who is Jewish and still insists this Muslim was his "friend". Mustn't ruffle the feathers of the powerful Islamic Society of Boston, also known for the actions of its former devotees the brothers Tsarnaev at the 2013 Boston Marathon.
