Similarities in Incidents where Perv Strikes in Other Bklyn Nabes

Following our report last week about an attempted abduction of an 8-year-old Lubavitcher girl, the New York Post ran a startlingly similar story which took place in the Bay Ridge Area of Brooklyn, in which a 12-year-old girl was lured in a similar fashion:

NY Post: This is a sketch of the pervert who grabbed a 12-year-old Brooklyn girl on her way to school, dragged her into an SUV and [assaulted] her before she managed to break free, police said.
The sicko struck at 7:50 a.m. Tuesday on 67th Street near 12th Avenue in Bay Ridge.

He approached the youngster, pulled her into the rear of the Jeep Laredo […]. She bravely pushed him off, opened the door and escaped.

Is G-d Guilty Of spiritual profiling? – In Defense Of The “Chosen” Doctrine

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Fl.

It’s The Jews Again!

Jerusalem (SatireWire.com) Update — Jews, whose troubled, 10,000-year term as G-d’s “Chosen People” finally expired last night, woke up this morning to find that they had once again been hand-picked by the Almighty. Synagogues across the globe declared a day of mourning.
