HONEY, I’M NOT KOSHER

Muslim hub hoax

A Lebanese-born Muslim man was investigated by the FBI and Homeland Security after posing as a Hasidic Jew to marry a Brooklyn woman — while claiming to be a US spy to protect his wild ruse.

“Eliyah” Hawila, 23, married a bride identified only as Sally in a lavish ceremony (above) thrown by her family in Brooklyn’s Syrian Jewish community, according to the Times of Israel.

The nuptials featured stretch limos and helicopters — but none of the groom’s family, according to a video he provided to Israel’s state-run Kan TV.

Within weeks, the bride’s suspicious father discovered Hawila’s real identity — Ali Hassan Hawila, a member of a Shiite family from southern Lebanon, a stronghold of the terror group Hezbollah.

“Her father began Googling my last name until he reaches my father, who tells him stuff about me, that: ‘No, he’s not Jewish, he’s not this, he’s not that,’ ” Hawila admitted in his interview with Kan TV.

Hawila said he had already lied to his bride — whom he met on a Jewish dating site — that he was a US spy for the National Security Agency after she saw his true identity on identification papers.

“I had to make something up, so I told her, you know what, this is an NSA ID, that I’m on a mission, things like that. I just made something up,” he said.

Confronted by his new parents-in-law, he repeated the lie and “started making even more stuff up,” he said.

“I was panicking and they took her away from me. They separated her away from me,” he said, at times sobbing over his apparent heartbreak.

His trickery meant the wedding was instantly annulled — and investigated by the FBI and Homeland Security over fears he was infiltrating the Jewish community for nefarious reasons, he admitted.

“When the FBI agent came to my place, I said: ‘Sir, I give you my permission to spy on all my phone calls. I am not affiliated with anybody.’ ”

There has been no suggestion that the investigation found anything untoward beyond Hawila’s confession about lying, reports said.

The bride, meanwhile, was reportedly moved to a safe house during the investigation and has refused to give interviews.

Heartbroken Hawila is hoping there’s a path forward.

“If she wants to give me a second chance, she can give me a second chance,” he said.

“If she doesn’t want to, I still can’t blame her. But I want her to know she is the love of my life.”
