A suspected bias attack on four Jewish subway riders in New York City has resulted in a friendship between the Jewish victims and the Muslim college student who came to their aid.
Walter Adler is calling Hassan Askari a hero for intervening when Adler and three friends were assaulted on a subway train in lower Manhattan on Friday night.

You were wrong to have said it if you don’t want to appear bigoted. It was a bigoted statement, in my opinion (nobody asked me, but you are discussing this on a public forum). You slammed the South. That sure seemed bigoted to me.

Oh no doubt, it’s definitely improved. But unfortunately, in certain pockets, it still exists.

You don’t think it’s newsworthy? Why not?

You just keep on underestimating Crackers. You’ll get your comeuppance one of these days.
And you don’t have to look up the meaning of bigot - you can just look in the mirror.

The whole episode sounds contrived. People attacking folks for sayin Happy Hanukkah? You have obviously never ridden the New York City subway system. You can get attacked for looking at someone or for nothing at all. It's an unwritten rule to make every effort to avoid eye contact on the subway and if you do, to look away as quickly as possible. I'm not kidding. It's probably a lot better than it was when I lived in the city during the 80's but when I go back from time to time, the rules still apply.

Ever notice how the majority of hate crimes are ignored. When atheists attack Jews (and Jews actually suffer more hate crimes per capita than blacks or Muslims)?

It gets better. Jesus actually celebrated Hanuka, Feast of Rededication.

This thread is truly incomplete without the myspace pictures of some of the suspects:

Nice looking kids, huh?
Actually this one looks like it's of a different girl, but it isn't:
I didn't find the focus of this story to be bashing Christians, I highly doubt these kids were saying Merry Christmas to a group of Jewish students to be nice, I think they wanted to pick a fight. There were TEN of them riding the subway late on a Friday night.
And look at their history:
NY Daily News story
What's being focused on in the more recent stories is that a Muslim came to the aid of Jews. Not that this should be surprising to anyone, all involved were college students and presumably good citizens, but it makes for nice headlines at Christmastime when we are hoping to see evidence of peace and goodwill towards everyone, and all that.

We knew a family from India that are Muslims. They put up Christmas lights and had Easter eggs. They very much immersed themselves in America. It wasn't for show. They were genuine. The dad is a soft spoken guy. They had a terrible tragedy happen to their family but they forgave the person that did it. America brought them great hope and then great tragedy but I never saw them get bitter.
I saw the video of the Muslim student talking about the subway incident. He seemed to be a good sort. Same gentle spirit like the Muslim dad that I know.

I noticed in most of the pictures she pushes out her lips like a porn star. A group of trash, the bunch of them.
