As much as I rant and rave about the Muslims and Islamic extemists - when a Muslim does something good - it should given just as much notice! He could have gotten killed or doused by gasoline and set on fire if that guy got thru and if the cops hadn't come on time. God bless him!

Mr. Ali better watch his back! Although some may think of his as a "hero", others in his own community will not...

[Tijeras_Slim]

Agreed.

[aruanan]

A great contrast.

I wish stories like this would get more and more air play. For nothing else, it would show those Muslims who are being brainwashed with hate, that there is another way.

I wish there were more and more stories like this.

[Uncle Miltie]

Well hot damn. I can now count about five virtuous acts by muslims since 9/11.

Thanks, congratulations and good luck to this gentleman. I look forward to many more muslims adhering to civilized standards.

This is minutes from me!

Ha. In fact I think this is where I fill up my car! For some reason I read Nostrand ave instead of ocean ave (need more coffee). This is between ave z and vhoories ave if i am not mistaken - the temple is right across from it.

Sadly, thw would-be arsonist will be in more trouble for releasing hydrocarbons from the gas into the air than he would have received for arson...

"He was carrying a book of matches," said a police spokesman, adding that the case was being investigated as a bias crime because the target was a house of worship"

Does this mean if he had torched your house or mine it would not be so bad...??
Because he was THINKING biased thoughts when he comitted the crime...

"It's not about religion," Popinara said of yesterday's incident at the synagogue. "He just flipped."

Yet another mere coincidence involving a Muslim attacking Jews.

[MinuteGal]

This is being investigated as a "bias" crime? What happened to the term "hate crime" so loved by the liberals? This should be a hate crime, and the term "bias crimes" should be reserved exclusively for the media.

The arsonist wanted to purchase gasoline dispensed into a PLASTIC BUCKET?? That's even illegal in Hell!

He is to be commended. Now though, he needs protection from the jihadists.

G-D bless Syed Ali.

Jews should spread the word throughout Brooklyn to patronize this man's business.

Bosnian Muslim bump

Time for all to see the light. Let's not be misled into believing that this is a clash between religions, and then making it be one as a result. Let's understand that this is part of an ongoing war between good and evil. We will lose this war if we make enemies of our friends.

[ffusco]

After reading this I'm a little vaclempt!

[pabianice]

Cops said Jakup appeared intent on burning the temple down.

An impressive intuitive leap! Nothing gets by New York cops!

Commending a Good Human Being BUMP!!!
