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.
