A young Jewish man was stabbed early Saturday morning near the Chabad movement’s headquarters in New York City by a man yelling “Free Palestine,” according to a local rabbi who said he knows the victim, as well as CCTV footage of the incident published online.

Yaacov Behrman tweeted that during Shabbat, the young male attacker asked the man: “Do you want to die?” He then stabbed him.

The victim was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, Behrman said.

The stabber is a loser and his actions should be denounced by the Muslim community. That guy who got stabbed isn’t responsible for the actions of politicians in a different country.

Aren't these 2 sentences mutually contradictory? If your argument is that people aren't responsible for the actions of others of the same ethnicity, then logically the Muslim community has no obligation to say anything as they're not responsible.

I should have clarified, I didn’t mean Muslims at large. The ordinary Muslim shouldn’t be expected to respond to such events. People who call themselves religious community leaders, however, can make such general statements, as they have done so in the past. In common parlance, it’s assumed that that’s what meant by “Muslim community”, ie someone who is a leader of a mosque or community group, but I agree I assumed too much about the common understanding of such a term
