Indiscriminate Stabbing 
AbuKhalil bristles with indignation at the news:
"... Chris Stone, the American academic, was stabbed in Cairo. Chris is a 
wonderful human being and an excellent scholar and a great friend of the
 Palestinian people.  This is how dumb and criminal wholesale hatred and
 hostility to all Americans is."
Now if Chris Stone  was not a wonderful human being,  or an excellent scholar, or a great friend to Palestinians, would it still be dumb and criminal if he were stabbed in Cairo? Just wondering.
