It sure pays to help Jews, literally.
New York, NY - Muslim Who Defends Jew Against Christian Subway Thugs Was Honored
New York, NY - It's turning into a very happy Hanukkah for the Muslim who is credited with saving a Brooklyn college student from a gang of Jew-bashing goons.
A stunned Hassan Askari, 20, was handed a check for $5,000 by legal eagle Benjamin Brafman, who was touched by Askari's subway heroics.
"Wow. That's amazing. Oh, wow," said Askari, an accounting student.
"That's going to help my college so, so much. I'm at a loss for words."
Askari works two jobs as a waiter to pay his way through Berkeley College in Manhattan.
Brafman, said years ago he stepped in to help a straphanger in a jam.
He got nothing except a beating and bitter memories.
"No one even stopped to thank me. Maybe it's come full circle," he said.
Askari was also honored last night at a benefit dinner at the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding in Midtown. [NY Post]

Yeah don't get excited. Jewish fools help muslims day and night and get no recognition for it. All jews do is try to help muslims and yet they are still criticized.
