    Allah Akhbar .... Muslim Helps Jews

    A nice feel good story to come out after the paris attacks.

    lets hope his brethren dont take it out on him.


    Paris terror attacks: Muslim worker at Jewish store hid customers in cold store


    Photo of Lassana Bathily goes viral on Twitter as he is praised for saving lives with his quick thinking at Kosher supermarket


    Lassana Bathily, 24, originally from Mali in west Africa, ushered customers into the cold store at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes.

    A Muslim shop assistant has been hailed a hero after saving at least six people by hiding them in a walk-in freezer at the Jewish grocery store where an Islamist gunmen made his final stand.

    Lassana Bathily, 24, originally from Mali in west Africa, ushered customers into the cold store at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes on Friday, where Ahmedi Couibaly had taken a number of people hostage.

    The siege ended when police raided the shop, shooting him dead. Four hostages also died.

    However, the toll might have been much worse were it not for the quick thinking of Mr Bathily.

    "I went down to the freezer, I opened the door, there were several people who went in with me. I turned off the light and the freezer," he told the French TV station BFMTV.

    "I brought them inside and I told them to stay calm here, I'm going to go out. When they got out, they thanked me."

    He slipped away using a goods lift and was able to provide police with valuable information about what has happening inside the store.

    The terrified customers were also able to telephone police from their hiding place in the basement.

    An image of Mr Bathily is trending on Twitter, labelled Malian Muslim, shared as a symbol of the people united against terrorism.

    It is the latest example of heroism to emerge from the bloodshed.

    Johan Dorre, a father of four, was shopping when the attack happened. He was able to telephone relatives and relay messages.

    Jacob Katorza, his uncle, told The Daily Mail: "Johan and the others were terrified that they would be discovered by the terrorists and were forced to huddle together like frightened animals to avoid hypothermia."


    Jewish community members held a vigil on Saturday for the four victims.
    France has western Europe's largest Jewish and Muslim populations, which have seen increasing tensions in recent months.

    He's right though, this guy simply went into the cold storage and other people went in with him, he left them there and snuck out by himself using a goods lift.
    It seems the media are looking for pro muslim angles.

    . . . and the cop quip?

    You can't blame the media for not inflaming the situation - would anyone other than absolute bigots want to see people being beaten/killed simply because they happen to be Muslim?

    Gee, that would make us so much better than them . . . but james is a legend. Prison guard no less . . . then an inmate.

    Think a few other cops died, one a female with just 15 days on the street, didn't read of them surrendering.
    By the way 8 years police UK, no gun and never saw or heard of a bobby surrendering.
    Muslim cop didn't even draw his firearm, not heroism in my book, guy died because he didn't act.

    i read he also turned of the light and the refrigeration system, thereby ensuring their safety, and when he exited the building the information he gave to the police was very helpful.

    doubt if there are many jews working in muslim owned businesses in paris.

    Sounds like the only real heroes in your book were the assailants Jim.

    Rather doubt that. Just one example (from a well known anti-Islamist website)-
    Qatar has bought shares in top French companies such as Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH), the world's largest conglomerate of luxury products, the French oil company Total and media group Lagardère. Qatar also owns the French football club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the prestigious Carlton Hotel on the Croisette in Cannes. Through its stake of 13 percent in Lagardère, the Wahhabi regime in Qatar has an interest in EADS, the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company. Lagardère owns 7.5 percent of EADS, the mother company of Airbus, the world's leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft. Qatar also hopes to buy a direct stake of 7.5 percent of EADS from the German automaker Daimler.
    The Qatari Takeover of France

    France hosts both the largest Islamic and Jewish population in Europe.

    i was talking about small owner operated small businesses, e.g. cafes, delis, corner shops and convenience stores, you know, the owner and 5 or 6 employees rather than the multi national mega corporations that you quoted.
