While a radical Islamist was carrying out a shooting spree and taking hostages at a kosher supermarket in a Paris suburb on Friday, another Muslim, Lassana Bathily from Mali, who worked at the store, was saving the lives of shoppers and helping them hide in a supermarket freezer.

Bathily saved the lives of six people whom he took to the supermarket's freezer – sparing them from the scarring scene that was underway. Four people were killed in the attack on the kosher supermarket before police were finally able to raid the store and kill the attacker – Amedy Coulibaly.

Among the six lives that Bathily saved was a one-month-old baby.

"When they ran downstairs I opened the door to the freezer and I went inside with them," said Bathily. "I turned off the light and I turned off the freezer. I left the freezer and told them to stay calm."

Some of the hostages aided police by calling them from their mobile phones. After the attack ended, and police killed Coulibaly, the shoppers thanked Bathily for saving their lives.

A council member who spoke to the hostages who hid in the freezer said that they joked that they considered opening a bottle of wine. "There is a lot here," said the council member.

That's awesome :flutter: He should be rewarded for this amazing deed :applause:

 

Not to go on a tangent, and I'm not sure if this is appropriate and I hope nobody thinks I'm being mean or something, but I kinda laughed when I read "helping them hide in a supermarket freezer" :rip: Like I imagined it like the episode of Kenan & Kel when they're stuck in a freezing room at a restaurant :deadbanana:

well in reality... If u took numbers ud get maybe 1% or 2% that are extremist minded

A muslim was talking on the Toronto Radio News yesterday and he was talkig about how God is suppostu judge and not humans... And how were only suppostu be loving

I know a lot of Jehovas Witnesses. They too believe that its Gods job to judge not ours so they preach but dont do the actual judging

So only a few extremists who try to force their beliefs down ppls throats dont really follow their own beliefs :MANiCURE:

His Islam made him to do it.

"...and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole mankind." (Al Qur'an 5:32)

you leave out the beginning of the verse where it says it's okay to kill in some circumstances though. it's dishonest to only put the end of the sentence which changes the meaning.
