A 39-year-old Muslim cab driver who served in the Iraq war says that an executive from an aviation company accused him of being a jihadist and broke his jaw in what activists are calling a hate crime.
Mohamed A. Salim told The Washington Post that Emerald Aviation President Ed Dahlberg attacked him after he picked him up at Country Club of Fairfax in Northern Virginia at around 2 a.m. on Friday. Dahlberg had been drinking and was told that he would have to finish his open beer before getting into the cab.
Salim recorded audio of the encounter on his cell phone.
Dahlberg's rant, as recorded on the phone, is pretty horrific. It's just straight, raw, hate, bred by a decade plus of stupid, ignorant Islamophobia.
Dahlberg was charged with misdemeanor assault and police are determining if charges should be elevated to a felony hate crime. The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Monday said that medical records and the 11-minute cell phone recording were being used as evidence in the case.
In a statement, Dahlberg’s attorney, Demetry Pikrallidas, admitted that his client “became rather emotional as the discussion turned to jihad and 9/11, and especially heated on the subject of jihadists who want to harm America.”
But Salim is an Iraq War veteran. Unreal. Just unreal. And yet the haters on the right will now ruin Salim's life anyway. It doesn't matter that he served his country in the military. Muslims are nothing but subhuman animals to these morons and this is what they want to happen.
Keep openly backing these clowns, GOP.
