Simply stated: why are we linking personal religious affiliations to a possible criminal’s actions?
If every time the press ties an individuals house of worship to a possible criminal act the list could be endless.
Can you imagine if Newsday linked each member of Congress’ or the state Legislature’s affiliation with their church, mosque or synagogue in headline form?
I believe there would be a public outrage.
But here in Port Washington, former resident Felix Sater’s actions constantly bring headlines linking him to Chabad.
Why should his religious affiliation be linked to present-day legal issues?
If not all, why then one?
