Sounds like the beginning of a joke right? Ah, but its not, to wit:
A Brooklyn man whose “Happy Hanukkah” greeting landed him in the hospital said he was saved from a gang of Jew-bashing goons aboard a packed Q train by a total stranger - a modest Muslim from Bangladesh.
…snip…
“A random Muslim guy jumped in and helped a Jewish guy on Hanukkah - that’s a miracle,” said Adler, an honors student at Hunter College.
…snip…
It all began when Adler, his girlfriend, Maria Parsheva, and two other pals boarded the subway at Canal Street bound for Brooklyn and someone in another group wished them “Merry Christmas.”
Adler and his pal Angelica Krischanovich responded: “Happy Hanukkah.”
Apparently, those were fighting words.
“They just came at us so fast. The first thing that came into my mind was, ‘Yeah, this is going to be violent,’ ” said Parsheva, 20.
One of the group immediately hiked up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo of Christ.
“He said, ‘Happy Hanukkah, that’s when the Jews killed Jesus,’ ” said Adler.
The group of about 14 men and women then allegedly began taunting Adler and his pals as “dirty Jews” and “Jew bitches.”
Amid a huge scrum, Askari jumped in.
Only in New York.
