NEW YORK (AP) – 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,”.
Friday’s altercation on the Q train began when somebody yelled out “Merry Christmas,” to which rider Walter Adler responded, “Happy Hanukkah”.
“Almost immediately, you see the look in this guy’s face like I’ve called his mother something,” said Adler.
One member of the group allegedly yelled, “Oh, Hanukkah. That’s the day that the Jews killed Jesus”.
When Adler tried to calm the growing fracas, a male member of the group punched him.
Another passenger, Hassan Askari — a Muslim student from Bangladesh — immediately began to berate the group, pummeling them with his fists and insulting them. “How dare you hate on this Jew! That is solely the right of Allah’s chosen people! Foul infidels, you are not worthy to feel contempt for this offspring of pigs and monkeys! You should be trying to push him into the sea, not hurt his feelings! I spit on you and jihad in your general direction!”.
“You insult one stupid little Jew holiday and call that Jew-hating?,” continued Askari. “You couldn’t hate a Jew on the Jew-hatingest day of your life if you had an electrified Jew-hating machine! I could hate more Jews in five minutes than you could in your entire lifetime. And speaking of five minutes, that’s how long it’s been since I finished riding your mother, who – by the way – confided in me at the height of passion that she’s deeply disappointed by your bumbling and grotesquely inept Jew-hating.”
Verbally outgunned, the youngsters started crying and mumbling “stupid raghead”.
“Brilliant sonnet, Shakespeare, Looks like you couldn’t Muslim-hate your way out of a wet paper bag if you were riding shotgun on a Hellfire missile with Norman Schwarzkopf, either,” concluded Askari, leaving the weeping & deflated youths to find easier targets to abuse, like Mormons and the homeless.
“I spit on you and jihad in your general direction!”.
Now go away, before I berate you for your poor Jew-hating skills a second time!
I can’t believe how ignorant those idiots are. How can you effectively hate someone if you are don’t know their holidays.
Everyone knows that the first Passover was celebrated in 30 AD by the Jews as a conspiracy to kill Jesus.
There are always humorous nuggets on IMAO, but for some reason, this one had me laughing out loud. Nicely done, Harvey.

I see we’re not using 100% Kosher Newsish Fakery; now, you’re just salting Newsish Truthery with your stuff.
I see how it is. lol.
Seriously, the story is quite inspiring. The population of valiant Moslems may be small, but it’s good to know they’re out there. If Hassan was allowed to drink, he should be bought some beer. Maybe some strong espresso will do.
Omigosh!
This is the blurb for another story on CNN:
Don’t Miss
* FBI: Hate crimes jump nearly 8 percent
Idiots! Of course they have! Firstly, defining actions as “hate crimes” weren’t very popular recently, so something that was not there but now is will naturally go up. Secondly, “hate crimes” can be charged to a bazillion things since it’s very ambiguous.
Morons.
You know when they say Conservative Humor is not funny?
They’re right.
You should hear what they say about you when you’re not around. I don’t think they’re really your friends. You should stop listening to them.
ha ha! I sure am morally superior to a guy who risked his skin to defend a stranger
I thought that the “One member of the group allegedly yelled, “Oh, Hanukkah. That’s the day that the Jews killed Jesus”.” line was part of the fakery until I read the article. I think we need more hate education funding in the NY City schools.
#7 – islam isn’t a race, dummy.
i think this muslim guy has crossed the invisible koranic line in the sand by defending these jews… after tomorrows’ friday prayers the local imam will issue a death fatwa on him.
I miss last years posts on Hanukkah… nothing says “Jewish tolerance” like linking the festival of lights with Star Wars.
Oh Jewbaka, where are you now?
Have we gone a solid week without a Python reference since this blog started?
I’m not complaining or anything, just asking.
Oh, my, yes; you bet I’m linking to this one! A lovely bit of screed and hyperbole!
2,000 quatloos to you, sir!
That sucks. You suck. Go away.
