A hero is a hero, whether he is a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim.

"Happy Chanukah. That's when the Jews killed Jesus," the attacker told Adler.

If this happened as the article reports, these so-called "Christians" have an awful lot to learn. This behavior is certainly not in keeping with Christian teaching.

But I suspect they are just playing at being Christians like some teens/young adults play at being Wiccan or Buddhist or whatever.

never mind. I just watched the video. No kippah... however, to Hassan’s credit, he knew they were Jewish, having heard the altercation. A breath of fresh air..

They call themselves Christians. But Christians wouldn't do that. They can call themselves what they want, it doesn't make them so.

By the way, I'm Jewish. These thugs aren't Christians.

“A breath of fresh air..”

That is good to hear. I know a Muslim who’s a pretty mainstream American who would hesitate to help a Jew.

A common observation in the NT: A whole town of baptized Christians and not one who got the Holy Spirit yet. They are christians in the sense of being baptized, which is what the term means, but they are not Christians, with dove and all, in the sense of having a clue.

“C BS. The name says it all.”

The link is on the CBS page but the story comes from the NY Post.

So far, the list includes the four alleged victims, the ten alleged perps, any other witnesses, the police, CBS, and the NY Post. Don’t forget the Muslim guy. He’s the kingpin.

But still, last time I ran out of gas, it was a Muslim on his way to Friday prayer who stopped to help.

As much as I loathe islam, there are individuals in that group who are good.

Isn’t it amazing how they all got together to set this up?

Sheesh, where’s my tinfoil when I need it.
