This Muslim Man Saved Several Hostages During The Paris Kosher Market Siege

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Four people were killed Friday when the terrorist Amedy Coulibaly took several hostages inside a Kosher market in Paris, but that number may well have been higher were it not for a quick-thinking employee of the market named Lassana Bathily.Bathily, a 24-year-old Muslim from Mali, was working in the store in the Porte de Vincennes neighborhood when the Islamist gunman burst in.

As panic ensued, up to 15 customers in the store hurried down to the store basement, when Bathily had an idea.

“When they ran down, I opened the door [to the freezer],” he told France’s BFMTV.

He quickly shut off the freezer and switched off its light. As he closed the door to shelter the customers inside, he told them, “Stay calm here. I’m going out.”

Eventually police raided the market, killing Coulibaly. As the hostages were freed from the freezer, they had a few words of thanks for Bathily. “They congratulated me,” he told BFMTV.

Eat that bigots!

Glad he was able to save lives. Too bad this won't make the mainstream media.

Or much comment at all from the usual suspects.

That's great news. Hopefully more brave souls will rise up against Shariah tyranny!

Wonder how many Jews work in Muslim supermarkets?

Wonder how many Jews work in Muslim supermarkets?

Why?

[Boiler 46,321]

Just wondered.

It is a valid question. There are Arab Jews, why can't there be Jewish Muslims?

Jews for Allah

Jews for Allah

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Just wondered.

For what reason? Isn't it enough that a guy who just happened to be muslim helped to save people's lives?

Why this need to try and spin it to reach some spurious preconceived conclusion?

Sharia law isn't tyranny. Many families live by it without incident.

That maybe so and I am sure there are those who are happy to live under the rules of a bronze age patriarchal religion that requires absolute obedience to its dogma and zero tolerance to transgressions of same.

But in the western world were concepts such as freedom of expression and the right to hold alternative values is incompatible with such an oppressive regime as Islam.

Religions take control or at least persist by threats of, or actual violence. Examples are Christianity, which fights the "good fight" in a passive aggressive way by threatening you with eternal torture in an afterlife unless you believe as they do.

Radical Islam/Muslims take a more active role by sending you to their maker by a more direct route. Either at the wrong end of a gun or a small amount of explosives. Paris being the most recent example.

Religions take control or at least persist by one of two ways. Examples are Christianity, which fights the "good fight" in a passive aggressive way by threatening you with eternal torture in an afterlife unless you believe as they do.

You must haven't been to Malaysia or Indonesia.

Yes it is Marvin. It absolutely is.

[2ndMessiah 184]

You must haven't been to Malaysia or Indonesia.

No your right I have not.

As those two countries are predominately Muslim, they are not in conflict. Peace through religious dogmatic control. Scary....

A religion that can have you put to death for insulting its prophet would tend to focus a person on towing the line.

Helps if you are not a cartoonist.

Or a heretic.
