Quote:Lassana Bathily, a Muslim employee at Paris Kosher grocery store Hyper Cacher, saved several people by hiding them in a walk-in freezer when a gunman laid siege to his workplace on Friday.

Fuck islam, fuck allah. Long live the muslims humans who choose to defy the teachings of this barbarous cult and act on their own instincts.

This is suspicious.

Why? Because it was a kosher store.

In order for the food to remain kosher it could not be handled/prepared (depending on how jewish the person was) by a gentile. Muslims are Gentiles.

Not saying she could work at the store as there would be many 'unclean tasks' (janitorial) that the kosher jews could not do. However her tasks would probably mean she would work when no one else was there, as to not taint the kosher food.

As a secular nation I suggest that France would have non-discriminatory employment laws making it highly likely that muslims could be employed at jewish establishments.

Let's not forget that the first policeman killed at the Hebdo shooting also was a muslim.

Actually, handling by non-Jews doesn't make the food treyf, except in some ultra-orthodox communities. What counts a kosher is food that is 1) not taboo and 2) prepared by Jews.

The woman in question could easily work alongside Jews in numerous capacities, as long as she didn't prepare the food.

Some grocery stores in the US carry kosher food and those items must have been touched by nonJewish people because they aren't religious stores.

For meat to be Kosher, it has to be killed a certain way. I don't know if it has to specifically be Jewish people who kill the animal or not. Some foods also have a kosher symbol on them that couldn't have been prepared just by Jewish people. Coke Cola is Kosher but some Jewish people can't drink it during Passover because of the corn syrup

Maybe the rules vary by food item?

So, for a long time my dad worked at a seafood plant. He told me that if they had a rabbi dude on the premises, supervising, they could technically sell the fish as kosher even if it was prepared by Christians/Muslims/Buddhists/Atheists.

You guys are all wrong and Drich is right. There's no way a Muslim would ever do anything to help a Jew, whether it be helping them survive fanatical Muslim violence, or feeding them. We all know that they lack human empathy.

I didn't see any connection between his "Religion of Peace" and his acting like a courageous human being in the article. If he had warts on his ass would the media be hailing him as a "ass warts hero" in attempting to paint ass warts a "Condition of Comfort"?

You don't understand the word kosher do you? To have a gentile in contact with kosher food means it is no longer kosher, which defeats the purpose of the store!

Your dad was wrong.

Type of food, how it is prepared, how it is kept makes it kosher. The rabbi's are there to ensure proper handling. They do not make food kosher. Certain foods will always be unclean to the jews no matter what.
