[Conscience of a Conservative]

A "hate crime," with a "Christian" thug, and a Muslim "hero" - it's an MSM writer's dream!

I don't buy it.

[pissant]

Sounds fishy to me as well.

[1rudeboy]

I don't buy it.

LOL

Israelis have consistently treated Muslims in their state of the art hospitals and health facilities. Turnabout would be fair play........but not likely.

Wow, what idiot conducts a hate crime on Jews in NYC of all places? You’d think that might happen in the deep south or something.

[From One - Many]

C BS. The name says it all.

""Happy Chanukah. That's when the Jews killed Jesus," the attacker told Adler."

I don't believe that this was said, not for an instant. Not only that, but I refuse to believe that there were nine other individuals of like mind right nearby who also took simultaneous offense. If these individuals turn out to be in a gang of some sort, then I would point out that they're hardly the people you say "Happy Channukah" to.

In short, I smell poo in this article.

[wastedyears]

I had a friend in high school with the last name of ‘Adler’. I wonder if they’re related.

[weegee]

The altercation erupted when Adler and his friends said "Happy Chanukah" to a group yelling "Merry Christmas" on the Brooklyn-bound train.

Where were Adler's friends? 10 guys beat up Askari while Adler and friends who also engaged in the taunting escaped injury?

Is there security camera footage of the assault?

Eight men and two women have pleaded not guilty to assault, menacing and other charges in the case. Prosecutors have said the charges could be upgraded to hate crimes.

Would I have been justified engaging the black muslim street preacher who held a bullhorn to my face and pointed me out to the crowd as I walked by calling me a "white devil" for happening to have white skin and walking the streets of NYC (I did not say a thing or react before or afterwards to the man, his insult was in no way provoked)? Would my retaliation have been a "hate crime"? Or is the original taunt a hate crime?

[wideawake]

Whether you buy it or not, it's true.

(1) Not all Jews observe Shabbos. Many Jews are merely culturally Jewish.

(2) Many Muslims in NY are not particularly in step with the whole Al-Qaeda, hate-the-Jews ideology thing.

(3) The ringleader of the self-described Christians involved in this subway attack is an individual who was convicted of aggravated assault in a previous incident, and was waiting to serve a six-month custodial sentence before he got invovled in this little dustup. He's a thug.

Frist of all, Christians don’t attack others without just cause. These thugs were no Christians. I don’t care if the perp had 1,000 tatoos of Jesus on him.

As for the Muslim kid who jumped in, good for him. He did the right thing and I appreciate it.

If a Jewish person said Happy Chanukah to me, I’d have said it right back.

I hope these thugs spend a good amount of time in prison, to think over their actions.

Hmmm, I think this is about illegal immigration.

[RightWhale]

I don't buy it.

Heard part of the interview. He said it seemed like the right thing to do.

[Route797]

A hero is a hero, whether he is a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I don’t believe it either.

[MEGoody]

"Happy Chanukah. That's when the Jews killed Jesus," the attacker told Adler.

If this happened as the article reports, these so-called "Christians" have an awful lot to learn. This behavior is certainly not in keeping with Christian teaching.

But I suspect they are just playing at being Christians like some teens/young adults play at being Wiccan or Buddhist or whatever.

[Badeye]

Neither do I.

[null and void]

But still, last time I ran out of gas, it was a Muslim on his way to Friday prayer who stopped to help.

As much as I loathe islam, there are individuals in that group who are good.

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)?
