Walter Adler is calling Hassan Askari a hero for intervening when Adler and three friends were assaulted on a subway train in lower Manhattan on Friday night.
The altercation erupted when Adler and his friends said "Happy Chanukah" to a group yelling "Merry Christmas" on the Brooklyn-bound train.
Adler told the New York Post that one of his attackers rolled up his sleeve to display a tattoo of Jesus Christ.
"Happy Chanukah. That's when the Jews killed Jesus," the attacker told Adler.
The 20-year-old Askari, who suffered two black eyes, said he tried to fight off the 10 attackers, giving Adler a chance to summon police by pulling an emergency brake.
"I did what I thought was right," said Askari, a student at Berkeley College in Manhattan, who was allegedly punched and beaten. "I did the best that I could to help."
Eight men and two women have pleaded not guilty to assault, menacing and other charges in the case. Prosecutors have said the charges could be upgraded to hate crimes.
The Post said two of the suspects had been charged with hate crimes in the past.
"That a random Muslim kid helped some Jewish kids, that's what's positive about New York," said Adler, 23, who suffered a broken nose and a lip wound.

Dutch lawmaker planning film criticizing the Quran
A Dutch conservative lawmaker said Wednesday he is making a film to highlight what he describes as "fascist" passages in the Quran, his latest high profile criticism of Islam.
Wilders plans to depict parts of the Quran he says are used as inspiration "by bad people to do bad things."
Less than 10 minutes long, the film is expected to air in late January. It will show "the intolerant and fascist character of the Quran," said Wilders, whose anti-Islam campaign helped his Freedom Party win nine seats in parliament in last year''s election.
In the past, Wilders has said that half the Quran should be torn up and compared it with Adolf Hitler''s book "Mein Kampf." He has claimed the Netherlands is being swamped by a "tsunami" of Islamic immigrants.

Newsflash, when you die, your body decays just like the dead raccoon in the highway. The brain decays just as the rest of the flesh. The brain is where you people create your gods. And it stops functioning eight minutes after your heart stops functioning.
Read some books other than the bible, the real truth is out there. It''s called Science.

No Sir! 100% wrong, He told the Sanhedrin that they were worse than sinners because "they knew GODs will" but still corrupted it for their own use, (just like cerain Extremist fundamentalist wannabe christians) (Just like certain extremist Muslims) (Just like certain extremist Atheists). He stood for what was right even though he knew they would probably kill him for it. (Sounds to me like a Martyr) Or if you wish, a "true American"

And I haven''t found the two to be mutually inclusive either.
"The Post said two of the suspects had been charged with hate crimes in the past".
Although some posters want to dance around it, it''s obvious these individuals were either neo-Nazi skinheads or from the Aryan Brotherhood.
You see all races have violent tendencies, it''s only when it becomes a black or white issue some individuals want to circumvent the truth...
I''m not at all surprise by this blatant brutal attack, because you have some so-called Christians that are just as violent as Muslim extremist, it cuts both ways.
Oh and on a side note the 2 men were of different religions.
And PS they weren''t Christian and apparently neither were the attackers. A tattoo of Jesus does not make you Christian it makes you a person with a tattoo.
In this case a criminal with a tattoo of Jesus to surely help with your "I lost my way" story and to plea his way ut.
BTW i am not putting down those with tattos I am just saying.........
