Thursday’s incident came as the community observed Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar

Police said they had shot a man suspected in a stabbing and car-ramming that injured four people at a synagogue Thursday in the northern English city of Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Greater Manchester Police said in a series of posts on X that a major incident was declared after a member of the public reported that they had “witnessed a car being driven toward members of the public” and that one “man had been stabbed” near the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, an area known for its large Jewish community.

      Notice that they never said anything about the religion, but question the ACTIONS of that synagogue before expending emotional energy.

      And they didn’t call for their deaths, they merely said that if they were one of the synagogues who are preaching hate then they won’t care about their suffering, just as those people don’t care about the suffering in gaza right now.

      This shit is so common and so infuriating - “They laughed at his death because of his beliefs”

      No, you are being disingenuous - “They laughed at his death because of his actions. he called for the death and suffering of many.” is not the same thing at all.

          That voice there is a part of you that knows that murdering people solely on the basis of which religion

          This is the part of your comment I was referring to. That user never said anything about their religion. They said something about waiting to have information about their actions.

          Conflating those two is easy, and effective at making those who judge others by their actions seem like religious bigots.

              Then I definitely misunderstood your intent. My Apologies.

              My fury at the use of ‘based on their beliefs’ stands in general, but I apologize for ascribing that to your comment without first asking.
