Muslim Bites off Rabbis Finger
A HALAL HORS D’OEUVRE
ISLAMIST CRAZED BY CHANUKAH
MAD MUSLIM BITES OFF RABBI’S FINGER
by Paul Williams
An irate Muslim attacked a Chabad rabbi Saturday night as he was conducting the annual ceremony to light the public Chanukah menora .
The incident took place in Stefenfaltz Square within the city of Vienna, Austria.
The attacker hurled himself at Rabbi Dov Gruzman, principal of the city’s Jewish school run by the Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidic movement, and began punching him, a local resident told Arutz Sheva.
In the midst of the struggle, the irate Islamist bit off the rabbi’s finger.
The Muslim assailant was collared by the Austrian police and carted off to a detention cell.
The rabbi was evacuated to the hospital where doctors rushed to reattach his finger.
Rabbi Gruzman told Arutz Sheva that the Muslim had raced towards the entrance at the beginning of the ceremony and began to curse the Jews who were there and the Jewish people in general.
“I tried to hold him off, to keep him away from the entrance and he bit me really hard, and that’s how he injured me,” the rabbi said.
The event served to strengthen Rabbi Gruzman’s resolve. “We are glad that such an event occurred,” he said. “Today, because of what happened, we are planning [a much larger event]. We increased the number of sufganiot [Chanukah jelly doughnuts] from 50 to 700 – and this is our answer to the attack and to anti-Semitism.”
However, the rabbi himself will be unable to participate in Sunday evening’s ceremony due to the fact that he is still hospitalized, and being monitored for infection from the bite. Nevertheless, he emphasized, through the Chanukah lighting ceremony he sends his blessing to every Jew around the world.
