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.
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.
Fair, I can see how it would read in an ambiguous way from someone operating in a different context.
