Extremist atrocities: Religion can be used to mask hatred

When Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein was released from a Californian hospital on Sunday, he said it was a miracle he was not dead and that “senseless hate” killings provoked by religious differences must stop.

Rabbi Goldstein survived the attack in Poway, near San Diego, last weekend because one of the congregation, Lori Gilbert Kaye, 60, stood between him and the attacker.
