I get angry, too, but I did note that the policeman who was shot point blank in the street outside the cartoon workplace was a Muslim gendarme, maybe should say French policeman. Also, at the Jewish super market, a Muslim employee saved about 15 people.

He herded them together, got them to the basement, put them in a cooler, turned off the lights and freezer, and shut the door. Then he got back upstairs and out where he escaped by a rear exit and was able to help the police with the situation inside.

Those hostages had to endure 3 hours in that freezing cooler, but I think those Muslims deserve a hero award. They might not have approved what provoked it, but they risked their lives for non-Muslims in the line of duty or just because they are decent human beings.

So when I read stuff and get angry, and I do, I will try to keep in mind these 2 Muslims and if I knew more, might be able to add to my list, met a nice Palestinian young wife years ago but was naive about the ethnic conflicts back then. I enjoyed eating the Arab version of the Greek (am starting to lose it, can't think of certain words when I need them). Gyros. It's those sandwiches with the 3-meat mixture on pita bread with tomatoes, cucumber sauce and maybe something else. I could sure use a couple from that Arab restaurant in Minneapolis about now. Also got the best string cheese I've ever had from a Middle Eastern Market in St. Paul.

A Muslim who saves the lives of “infidels” isn’t much of a Muslim, when you think about it. That’s what I think, & that’s what ISIS thinks. He has acted in spite of Islam, not because of it.

The less devout a Muslim, the better a human being.

The Muslim who saved those lives in the kosher deli will now live with a target on his back.

After all, the Hadiths teach that on the last day the rocks & trees will cry out, “O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him”.

This Muslim in the deli did the complete opposite & saved Jewish lives. That makes him an apostate, one would think.
