Rabbi Avi Weiss speaking at an earlier event in support of Israel. He told congregants at the the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale Saturday not to blame Islam for the recent plot to bomb synagogues.
In the Bronx neighborhood targeted by a terror plot, a prominent rabbi cautioned Sabbath worshippers Saturday against condemning the Muslim religion.
"We dare not condemn Islam over this one act," Rabbi Avi Weiss told congregants at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale.
Weiss' temple was not targeted in the alleged conpsiracy, but two other Riverdale synagogues were.
The four Jew-hating suspects were homegrown jailhouse converts to Islam - not hardened extremists trained in some Middle Eastern camp.
Weiss said that fact "reminds us that Islamic fundamentalism has spread here and attracted congregants."
Using an informant, authorities secretly monitored the cabal for more than a year, providing them with phony bombs and a disarmed missile.
They were busted Wednesday as they tried to carry out the plan to blow up the temples and a military plane.
Despite the success of the sting operation, Weiss said he was worried authorities are unaware of other mass murder plots.
"This cell was caught, but how many others are out there?" he questioned.
The foiled attack should send a sobering message to people of all faiths, Weiss said, noting the suspects appear to have randomly selected their targets.
"It could have been any synagogue. It could have been any temple," he said.
"We dare not forget that an attack against any house of worship is an attack against every house of worship."
Would this fool say the same thing if Iran nukes Israel?
i blame islam!!!
Bet he voted for Zero. Dumbass.

Get him a hat.
I bet he would vote for Hitler or Arafat’s corpses if they had a D after their name. Just insane.
"It could have been any synagogue. It could have been any temple," he said.
Maybe he is right. They may not have cared which house of worship they targeted as long as it was filled with Jews. Pretty random there, huh?
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Idiot!
America gets blamed for everything, why not this.

“Weiss’ temple was not targeted in the alleged conpsiracy”
Well, it wasn’t HIS synagogue.
“We dare not condemn Islam over this one act,”
ONE ACT??
ONE ACT??
*&%$^#$%
What a confused doofus.
Honestly....for the life of me...I just don’t understand. Are these Jews in complete denial? Is this cultural in the US? Is there a death wish....even after centuries of death and persecution???? I just CAN’T get my head around it.
