Ahmed Sharif, Cab Driver Stabbed For Being Muslim Speaks

Has it come to this New York? Stabbing and cutting people for being Muslim? We are shocked and ashamed at what happened and this attack may only be the beginning of what's to come. Ahmed Sharif was the New York City cab driver who was a victim of  a hate crime yesterday when 21-year-old Michael Enright got into his cab and confronted Sharif for being Muslim. As Sharif described it; 

'He started yelling at 39th Street and Third Avenue,' Sharif said. ''This is checkpoint. This is a checkpoint, mother [expletive], and I have to put you down.''

Sharif says Enright started the ride with an Arabic greeting, but minutes later, he plunged a knife through the open security shield. The driver was stabbed on his arms, neck and face. If the wounds were any deeper, EMTs said, Sharif would have died at the scene.
