We can all be grateful that there are still conscientious people out there who are act quickly and selflessly to look out for their fellow human beings. There is no reason to be surprised that these people can be Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Atheist or whatever. If you choose to be surprised by this, then you are the one who has a problem.
I am grateful to Mr Aliou Niasse, as well as everyone who acted to "save the day" that night.
