ing into consideration the parents'
desire to educate their daughters in a
Chasidic religious communal education-
al environment, with a different spiritual
leadership, and unique and more strict
characteristics than the ones existing in
the current school."
The ministry rejected the idea of
transporting the students to schools in
other communities because there are
security risks involved in traveling from
a relatively isolated West Bank settle-
ment.
Israel's Supreme Court ruled last
spring that the religious girls' school
in Emanuel remove physical barriers
between students in the regular and
Chasidic track. Most of the students
in the regular school are Sephardi and
most in the Chasidic track are Ashkenazi,
which led to charges of racism.
Dozens of parents of the Chasidic
students were jailed for refusing to send
their daughters to the school following
the removal of the separations. Under
an agreement between the parents and
the court, the students attended the last
week of school together, pending a deci-
sion on opening a new school for the
2010-11 school year.
Stabbing Called Hate Crime
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Anti-
Defamation League called the stabbing
of a Muslim New York City taxi driver a
hate crime.
The ADL said the stabbing, which
took place on Aug. 24, was particularly
disturbing given the current controversy
surrounding the Islamic center planned
for near Ground Zero. The ADL has said
that the center has a right to be built but
that building it so close to Ground Zero
would be insensitive to the families of
9-11 victims.
In last week's incident, Michael
Pie Thrower Released
A district court judge in Big Rapids last
week lowered the bond and released
the young woman who hit Sen. Carl
Levin, D-Mich., in the face with a pie.
The judge decided to release on
bond 22-year-old Ahlam Mohsen of
Coldwater while FBI officials decide
whether to charge her with assaulting
a member of Congress. The judge also
ordered her to surrender her passport.
Bond was lowered to $50,000 from
$250,000 and Mohsen was required to
put up $5,000 of her own money. She
welcomed the arrangement, she said,
so that she could return to Michigan
State University for the start of fall
classes.
Levin was hit last month after allow-
Enright allegedly asked taxi driver
Ahmed H. Sharif if he was Muslim,
then made references to military check-
points before stabbing him. Enright was
charged the next day with attempted
murder and assault as a hate crime.
"No person should ever be targeted
because of their religion or ethnicity, and
there is no justification for singling out
Muslims" said Ron Meier, ADIS New
York regional director. "It is especially
disturbing that this attack occurred
amid an atmosphere of elevated anti-
Muslim sentiment surrounding the
Ground Zero controversy. No matter the
passions stirred up by an issue, resorting
to anti-Muslim bigotry and violence is
unacceptable"
Hitler: Jewish Roots?
Adolf Hitler may
have had both Jewish and African
roots, DNA testing shows.
Samples taken from some of the
German Fuhrer's relatives show that
he was likely descended from some of
the "sub-human" races that he tried
to destroy, according to research by
Belgian journalist Jean-Paul Mulders
and historian Marc Vermeeren, cited
in the Flemish-language magazine
Knack.
Saliva samples taken from 39 Hitler
relatives have genetic fingerprints
pointing to possible African and
Jewish ancestry.
"This is a surprising result" said
BERLIN (JTA)
—
Ronny Decorte, a genetic specialist
at the Catholic University of Leuven,
interviewed by Knack. "Hitler would
not have been happy."
Some believe that Hitler's father,
Alois, was the illegitimate child of a
maid and a 19-year-old Jewish man.

ing Mohsen's friend, Max Kantar, 23, of
Big Rapids, to read a long list of com-
plaints about Levin's stances on foreign
policy and Israel. The two interrupted a
coffee shop meeting of Mecosta County
Democrats. Levin chairs the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
Mohsen and Kantar were arrested in
January 2009 for organizing a sit-in at
Levin's office in an effort to force him
to talk to them about foreign policy.
Charges in the 2009 incident were
dropped.
If the FBI decides not to press the
federal case, the assault and disorderly
conduct charges in Mecosta County
will be reinstated.
