Beautiful story, coolmanphp; I'm quite moved. Thank you for sharing it.

May such blossom to full flower.

 

Just doing his duty as a Muslim

 

I am a humanist - I'd prefer to think it is a human duty to help a human being in trouble. I look forward to the day when words we use to label ourselves are incidental to the decency we share in common, and to the day we are impelled to compassion by knowing that each of us, really, is one.

 

Good story, thanks for the link.

 

Notice how nobody else helped the Jews?

 

Grab, I am not sure what you are doing. This is an unadulteredly beautiful story about a man stepping up in defense of another man. All the more beautiful that a Muslim man stepped up to defend a Jewish man. My hope is that labels like "Jew," "Muslim," or any other thing that distinguishes us one from the other will simply pale when compared to our common humanity.

I honestly don't understand the point you are trying to make.

 

My point is that, everyone says all Islam does is teach negative things and Muslims never do any good. But in this story, do you see any other people apart from the Muslim stepping up and helping the people being attacked?

All I'm saying is, this is the real Islam

 

this story is also about the rise of hate crime and anti semetisim in new york.
unfortunatly it seems that intolerance is on the rise

 

Sounds like you suffer from a "persecution complex". Not "everybody" says negative things about Muslims.

 

You haven't been around these forums much then.

 

Maybe this will bring some sense to those haters who call Muslims, Nazi supporters..

 

I guess I saw a human being first; I found this story beautiful because it was a human story, and an all too rare one at that. But I understand you're point.
