Suspects in Assault May Be Charged With Hate Crimes

One must wonder why the the ADL piece on this attack failed to mention that the citizen who came to the aid of the Jews being attacked was a Muslim man; a 20 year old recent immigrant from Pakistan. In a story where religion is so pivotal and the catalyst for the attack, is it not just as important to point out that this 'bystander', indeed the good samaritan was in fact a Muslim. Surely the goodwill in this act, must not be swept under the rug especially in a world where Jewish - Islamic tensions are at an all time high.
