Sometimes, it's nice to hear that the rhetoric spewed by the religious and political leaders of the world is ignored and people come to the aid of others in spite of their differences. This kid had balls the size of grapefruits, he jumped in a fray of 10 attackers who were beating up 4 Jewish kids who yelled Happy Chanukah in response to someone yelling Merry Christmas. Billo ought to be proud today :eyes:
"(CBS/AP) 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.
The altercation erupted when Adler and his friends said "Happy Chanukah" to a group yelling "Merry Christmas" on the Brooklyn-bound train.
Adler told the New York Post that one of his attackers rolled up his sleeve to display a tattoo of Jesus Christ.
"Happy Chanukah. That's when the Jews killed Jesus," the attacker told Adler.
The 20-year-old Askari, who suffered two black eyes, said he tried to fight off the 10 attackers, giving Adler a chance to summon police by pulling an emergency brake. "
