This is the Muslim man who has been hailed a hero after he hid shoppers in the freezer of the Jewish grocery store after an Islamic gunman raided the deli where he worked.

Lassana Bathily, 24, originally from Mali in west Africa, guided terrified customers to safety in a supermarket chiller at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes, Paris, yesterday.

He has since been praised for his quick-thinking and bravery after 15 hostages, which reportedly included two children, escaped the ordeal, in which gunman Amedy Coulibaly was killed as he attempted to flee.

3. Is he really Muslim? Has Howard Dean confirmed this?

Kudos to Lassana Bathily!

5. Apparently he's taken it upon himself to identify who gets to be a "real" Muslim.

10. Well if he's wrong looks you've got 1.7 billion terrorists comin for ya

Better start pissing yourself now.
Or, you could ponder the notion that the assholes responsible for the attack were motivated by something other than faith...

13. Why would I start pissing myself?

Do you really think all 1.7 billion Muslims are terrorists?

Not all Muslims act like the ones that attacked Charlie Hebdo. Just like not all Muslims are heroic like Lassana Bathily.

9. Nothing wrong with multiple threads on good news.

Lassana deserves it.

11. Thanks Doc

It's interesting to me that a Muslim worked at the Jewish Deli. That says something about the integration of Muslims and Jews in Paris.

Let's hope that he gets lots of recognition by both groups.
