Like I’ve said a million times: show me a religious fundamentalist and I’ll show you someone with a screw loose no matter which god they worship.
A Muslim man jumped to the aid of three Jewish subway riders after they were attacked by a group of young people who objected to one of the Jews saying “Happy Hanukkah,” a spokeswoman for the three said Wednesday.
Friday’s altercation on the Q train began when somebody yelled out “Merry Christmas,” to which rider Walter Adler responded, “Happy Hanukkah,” said Toba Hellerstein.
“Almost immediately, you see the look in this guy’s face like I’ve called his mother something,” Adler told CNN affiliate WABC.
Two women who were with a group of 10 rowdy people then began to verbally assault Adler’s companions with anti-Semitic language, Hellerstein said.
One member of the group allegedly yelled, “Oh, Hanukkah. That’s the day that the Jews killed Jesus,” she said.
When Adler tried to intercede, a male member of the group punched him, she said.
Another passenger, Hassan Askari — a Muslim student from Bangladesh — came to Adler’s aid, and the group began physically and verbally assaulting him, Hellerstein said.
“A Muslim-American saved us when our own people were on the train and didn’t do anything,” Adler said.
What kind of knuckle dragger thinks Hannukah is a commemoration of “the day Jews killed Jesus”? Like, what rock do you hid under to believe something so ignorant?
Apparently some of the attackers said “this is a Christian nation”. Wonder where they get that kind of rhetoric from?

Ironically, the date of Jesus’s death is celebrated in Christianity — Good Friday. You’d think this devout fellow would know this.
Are you sure it was a Muslim? All the Muslims I ever hear about are too busy hating Israel and western culture to do something like this.
I’ll bet you anything that this is just an al-Qaida plot to make us think that there are good Muslims. I’ll bet my life…well, I’ll bet the life of that young man in the uniform over there…on it!
This Hussein Osama or whatever his name is needs to be sent to Gitmo for waterboarding! Then he’ll tell us everything he knows about the plot to destroy Christmas!!!
[/sarcasm, weeping bitterly]
I’m sure Bill O’Reilly is very happy that his foot soldiers are fighting his “War on Christmas”. This shows the true nature of this war….
My stupid question for the day: Will Malkin post so much as a sentence about this?
One member of the group allegedly yelled, “Oh, Hanukkah. That’s the day that the Jews killed Jesus,”
……….
Thanks Mel Gibson!
How much you wanna bet these idiots are home schooled brats that went to see “The Passion” numerous times?
This is a direct result of Bill O’Reilly and others bullshit war on Christmas, not to mention the crap above about Christianity under attack.
You build a culture based on hating everyone who is different than you, and this is what you get.
This lady has a problem with Jewish culture and history, so she lives in New York City?
