The jihadis are getting bold in Europe, inflamed by the murder of Theo Van Gogh.
An Orthodox Jewish custodian in Antwerp Belgium was shot in the head yesterday, and it will probably turn out to be the work of another Islamist fanatic.
Moshe Yitzhak Na’eh, who was shot in the head overnight Wednesday in Antwerp in what seems to be an anti-Semitic attack, is in “critical but stable condition,” his sister said Thursday afternoon.
Na’eh, 27, an ultra-Orthodox Jew and a father of four — the oldest five years old, the youngest an 18-months-old baby - was shot near a Muslim neighborhood in Antwerp, Belgium, home to large Jewish and Muslim communities.
Speaking to The Jerusalem Post from Na’eh’s bedside in an Antwerp Hospital, the sister, who asked that her name not be published, said the family is praying her brother will survive the attack. “As long as there is life there is hope,” she said, adding that all the Jewish schools in Antwerp are saying Tehillim (Psalms) for her brother’s recovery.
Belgian federal police are investigating the incident, which seems to be a hate crime, as Na’eh’s money was not stolen and he is not involved in any criminal deeds.
