What if it lasted longer , they could have frozen to death.
2. Wow, there can be nice Muslims too. A true hero!
Jack D   (01.12.15)
It should also be noted that he had a head on his shoulders and turned off the freezer so the people in there wouldn't freeze to death.
3. Hero.
DOV ,   USA   (01.12.15)
4. Lassana Bathily is a very good and courageous man

5. This boy is a light in the darkness
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (01.12.15)
6. # 2 - Muslims are like everybody else
Avi L.   (01.12.15)
All people are created equal, so what is strange that a muslim helped another human being? What so strange that Druse, Beduin, Christians, even some Arabs are enlisted in the Army, or the Magen David? What makes muslims potentially dangerous is the Qoran in it's integral version. The day muslim reform their religion cleaning it of the murders, assassinations, assaults, rapes, war, antisemitism and massacre (all in the name of their own god) and renounce to be the judge and police of good and bad ( Surah Al Imran 3:110) then islam will be truely a religion of "peace, love and tolerance". Now, in its true form, it is not. So this guy deserve a lot of gratitude for having his own human feeling overcome the verses of the Qoran and Hadiths calling for the killing of Jews (just google it).
7. He Cut The Freezer Off First
Gerald ,   Atlanta, GA   (01.12.15)
Bathily turned off the freezer first before hiding people in it.
8. I would do the same I hope
Farooq ,   Houston, USA   (01.13.15)
I am a Muslim and I want my Jewish brethren to know that I would sacrifice my life for them too. I have nothing against your faith, in fact, I love much of what you stand for. Politics has made us enemies. The future doesn't need to belong to those who hate.
9. U are wrong
Haroon Fazal ,   Pakistan   (01.16.15)
Did not you know that he switched off the freezer?
10. #1: It has been turned off.

12. Be a real hero
Prasad ,   Bengaluru, India   (01.22.15)
To be a true hero, this guy must not only condemn these attacks in the name of jihad / intolerance but urge all Muslims to fight against all Islamic terrorists. Urge not to show sympathy and not provide any kind of help to such elements. Because these terrorists have sympathy and help of their muslim brethren.
13. THIS we do believe immed. - that THEY (Yohan and him) had been good friends..
