'Jews have $': Yeshiva thugs

Armed bandits who invaded a yeshiva dormitory in Queens and forced eight students into a bedroom at gunpoint claimed to be Muslim and angrily barked to the victims, "Jews have money," sources said yesterday.

The terrifying robbery occurred at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, when the two men knocked on the dormitory door at Yeshiva Zichron Aryeh in Far Rockaway, saying their car broke down, sources said.

Then they stuck the gun against the neck of a student, Yisrooel Sterns, 19, and forced their way into the house on Mott Avenue house in the Bayswater section.

Well, that's not being very open-minded, tolerant and DIEverse.

[circlecity]

Were they right in this case? Did they get any money?

Tangentially related:
"No Guns for Jews"

[calex59]

Just one more instance of why islam is called the religion of peace.

[bkepley]

I doubt they were muslim.

[TheThirdRuffian]

NYP burying the lede again:

“Before they left, one thug reportedly said, “I have nothing against you guys. I’m religious, too. I’m Muslim.””

[TheThirdRuffian]

Maybe. See last post.

[ConservativeStatement]

I’m not sure but one of the victims said he was robbed six months ago.

[ParityErr]

I doubt they were muslim.

Yeah, I agree. Even though they claimed that they were muslim I would bet they were actually Amish. Those eeevil AMISH!! -shakes fists in air-

I think it was a Methodist who needed the money to replace a broken casarole dish.

Probably Black Muslims, fresh out of prison.

[bkepley]

Well that’s possible but I was thinking it is probably some of Tony Soprano’s crew. Black Muslims are pretty much the same thing.

[Tamar1973]

The headline is misleading, makes it sounds like the Yeshiva kids were the perps rather than the victims. A more honest headline would have said: “Jews have $: Muslim thugs claim as they break into a Yeshiva”

[ConservativeStatement]

The print version contained slightly additional material but it was dedicated to a condensed portion on the left side of the page. Same headline, however.

[Pharmboy]

I used to live with a guy who was a Quaker...he used to say: “I’ll convert to Judaism...when do I get the money?”

[Hacklehead]

“Jews have money,...”

Maybe they saw the recent Southpark episode where Cartman talked about Jews carrying gold in a bag around their neck?

[Diogenesis]

Another HATE CRIME against Jews for Obama and Holder?

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Those eeevil AMISH!! -shakes fists in air-

I think I found the perps:

[Oztrich Boy]

Cartman was right!

I think it was a Methodist who needed the money to replace a broken casarole dish.

You've reminded me of the existence of an abomination called tuna casserole. I haven't had it in 50 years. I had one friend who wasn't Polish or Italian and I had dinner at his house. What crap.
