If Raheem Hassan had been a non-Muslim who threatened to kill his Muslim colleagues, do you think criminal charges against him would have been dropped if he agreed to stay out of trouble and go into counseling? Neither do I. And now the city is paying him $224,000 because he was allegedly harassed, although “neither the city nor Hughes admitted any wrongdoing.” Clearly Bill de Blasio’s New York just wanted this case, with its allegedly “Islamophobic” firefighters, to go away: “Hassan’s lawsuit continues against two other defendants, firefighters Joe Lankford and Tommy Donovan, who, like Hughes, did not receive legal representation by the city.” They were on their own.
“NYC settles FDNY’s ‘pork’ lawsuit filed by Muslim firefighter,” by Susan Edelman and Dean Balsamini, New York Post, January 5, 2019:
It cost taxpayers $224,000 to put out this fire.
The city settled a federal lawsuit filed by a Muslim firefighter who claimed he was fed pork by racist Bravest, The Post has learned.
Firefighter Raheem Hassan also settled with a supervisor at Engine 309/Ladder 159 in Flatlands, Lt. David Hughes, who agreed to fork over another $1,000.
Hassan, 31, complained that he had been bullied and harassed at the Brooklyn station, nicknamed the “Friendly Firehouse,” since the summer of 2015.
He accused FDNY colleagues of serving him pasta sauce spiked with pork and cooking his food in bacon grease — meats his religion forbids.
Hassan also complained that fellow smoke-eaters took photos of their genitals next to his face while he slept and then texted them to him.
The feud reached its boiling point on Dec. 20, 2017 when Hassan, off-duty near his Staten Island home, telephoned Hughes, who called police and claimed Hassan told him, “I’m going to kill the guys in the firehouse.”
The alleged threat shut down the firehouse that day, and Hassan was charged with misdemeanor aggravated harassment.
Last February, the Staten Island District Attorney granted him a deal in which the charge would be dropped and the case sealed if he stayed out of trouble for six months and continued counseling.
Neither the city nor Hughes admitted any wrongdoing. “This settlement was in the best interests of the city,” said Law Department spokesman Nicholas Paolucci.
But Hassan’s lawyer, Aymen Aboushi, told The Post the settlement “is an acknowledgment that Hassan was subject to an inappropriate work environment.
“The fact that Hughes had to pay proves Raheem did not do what he was accused of,” Aboushi said, referring to the report that Hassan threatened violence….

Oh, for hell’s sake!
This a$$#0£3 again?!?!?!?
More pathetically subservient dhimmitude, rolling over, appeasement, and a$$ kissing with this submissive eager-beaver jizya payment to our new colonial conquistador masters.

Any doubts as to how an infidel firefighter in a Moslem country would be treated?
JH says
It’s time everyone stopped kissing their arses and kicked them back to where these paracites crawled from.
Talk about taking the piss

Another Muslim cashing out of Public service! Mooching the public in infidel land is all in the good cause of Allah.

NYC to pay $224,000 to Muslim firefighter who was accused of threatening to kill his fellow firefighters
……………………….
Rewarding Muslim savagery. More suicidal insanity.
Jay says
Seriously this is just a big scam! He was probably a plant in the NYFD to scam money.
And I know from personal experience, he has the option to cook his own food! Wake up America!
This is an invasion. And DeBlasio is the worst, most corrupt, communist mayor NYC has ever had!
How DeBlasio and Gov cuomo get elected is beyond comprehension!! …And don’t forget DeBlasio’s
political history with the ever so corrupt Clinton crime family.
Keep America strong.
Trump 2020 ????????

This is why the Muslim countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, refuse to let them set foot on their soil. The Sheik publicly announced that he will not allow religious or other unrest in Dubai and therefore they are kept out. I am not so much worried about global warming, I am more worried about global stupidity.
somehistory says
If there was phone call evidence, he should have been taken all the way to trial, and then fired.
The way hiring and the EEOC works, companies and government can’t “discriminate” if they have a certain number of employees. So, creeps get hired, not because they qualify or should be hired, but because those not hiring will be sued.
And in cases like this one, and many others where moslims were hired and then made trouble, were fired, or otherwise faced discipline, they sue the employer for “discrimination.”
Did he *prove* that he was “fed’ pork? Was he *force-fed* at the firehouse? If he saw them cooking in bacon grease…such as to make the food incredibly tasty…then why did he eat it? Are they not allowed to cook for their own tastes?
And did he have proof of the harassment with texts and photos?
Settling out of court is done a lot to decrease the amount the plaintiff might get if the case went to trial. It doesn’t mean guilt is being admitted. There is no legal “guilt” until a jury or judge declares it. The moslim attorney’s claims are bogus.
WPM says
He could not produce the photo or the test message on his phone of other fellow firefighters with their junk out around him sleeping. No proof they feed him anything with pork in it. He did admit he called his officer off duty and threated to kill his fellow firefighters .He did not contact EEO about any hazing ,pork products slipped into his meals, or the wiener waving till he got in trouble for threating to kill fellow firefighters. He is not the first Moslem assign to that firehouse another one work there with no incidents and left after a couple of years after he got promoted. When you get into trouble and are Moslem play the victim card in NYC you get not only off scott free ,you get a lot of coin!
Pet Charles says
It is truly unfortunate what the current mayor of New York is doing. He won his first election by default after the favorite was implicated in a sex scandal. I simply do not understand why Muslims in Western countries are given more rights than natives when all over the media we keep reading stories about non Muslims being discriminated against in Muslim countries. The only thing I can conclude is that there is a concerted attempt to induce long term resentment against Muslims.
Heidi says
Pet Charles, because the natives don’t scream bloody murder every time they are discriminated against whereas the Muslims live by word of their Quran sqeezing every cent out of the kuffar be it justified or not and our dense politicians and Judges will roll out the red carpet for them and ensure their wishes demands be fulfilled. As a native you stand no chance against them. Maybe we as natives should stop the suffering in silence.
WPM says
The current Mayor of NYC did not win his second term as mayor by default ,he won it out of apartheid with record low voter turn out. The person running against him was not involved in any sex scandal she is still in the state assemble for Staten Island. You are thinking of Anthony Wiener who ran against Bloomberg for Mayor after Bloomberg,s first term. NYC is one of the Blues “progressive “cities who cannot appease Jihad minded Moslems enough .

Poor Muslims! They can rape and rob and murder us, but may face some resentment from the ‘filthy Infidels’. Poor things!

U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E !!!
I heave a dream…
Where I consign all deluded Western bleeding heart politicians & their families to turkey or gaza or saudi arabia or MARS along with all rabid and other muslims.
Instead, I find myself in a veritable nightmare imposed upon me by Western politicians.
It is hard to not want these same politicians to be caught up in some daesh-inspired airport bombing that THEY – like so very many innocents – may taste such bitter fruit.
Justice for these deluded politicians who on leftist whims forfeit our freedom !
mummymovie says
And we see yet again that t’s simply not worth the risk to hire muslims anywhere, for any position.
They don’t want to work for an honest living, but rather their modus operandi is to claim victimhood, and with the help of CAIR’s lawyers, file frivolous employment lawsuits over manufactured discrimination, racism, and phony “islamophobia” claims, all with the end-goal of them being compensated with what they perceive to their jizya from us subservient, dhimmi kuffar in their new domains.
Same old muslim victimhood subterfuge and CAIR spin, BS formula being rolled out here, basically every time.
More textbook islamoconquest crap. And Americans keep falling for it, with our establishment media lapping it up every time.
We are not ahead of Europe, but rather behind, and following right down the same doomed path.
This is just the beginning of this stuff. We will be seeing a lot more of it.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Wow! Abuse of democracy is an outrage. Abuse of litigious democracy is a goldmine. Jizya in all but name.
Owen Morgan says
You got there before me. I totally agree.
Owen Morgan says
It’s jizya: the poll tax on non-muslims. They can’t impose a de iure tax, yet, but they can get dhimmi politicians, like Bill de Blasio and Theresa May, to cough up money on demand. In sharia terms, that amounts to jizya; it is money handed over with no overt obligation, which is uniquely paid to muslims.
WPM says
Bill de Blasio good friend of Linda Sansour of Brooklyn,he is friends with anyone who is anti-American, anti-Western ,he is the poster child for progressive useful idiot . He is very free with throwing others people money to appease every imaginary slight against “the best of people” Moslems .He rein in the NYPD from watching Mosques that appeared to support terrorist or terrorist actives .New York City one of the few places in the world where an emergency responder who is sworn to treat everyone equal ,protect all citizens, can threaten to kill his fellow coworkers, not get fired , and is paid a 221K bonus .Just think this person is now back in the field “protecting helping” Moslems and non-Moslems in fires, emergencies, medical runs .The Lieutenant who reported the threat he received off duty at his home had to pay a thousand dollars out of his own pocket ,so much for see something say something in reporting terror or terrorist threats! What is not in the article is every officer assign to that company has been transferred , there will a little notation in their records in the FDNY Personal Department that will follow them the rest of their career in the FDNY.
