The disdain for mindless violence exhibited by most of the world’s 2 billion Muslims is exemplified by Ahmed al-Ahmed. He interrupted the negative stereotypes of #Muslims so powerfully that white nationalists spread false allegations that he was actually a British IT specialist with a Christian name. Others attempted to maintain that he was a Christian Lebanese, which his name makes impossible. The #NewYorkTimes declined to mention his #religion. That there should have been a Muslim Schindler, a hero who followed the toleration promoted by the #ProphetMuhammad, was so insupportable to Islamophobes that they felt constrained to make up fantasies and obscure reality.

The article below first appeared in Informed Comment on December 16, 2025. It emphasizes important aspects of what unfolded during the murderous attack on Jews at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, and its aftermath. “Muslims belonging to a small radical cult — born in the maelstrom of the American occupation of Iraq — perpetrated the unspeakable attack,” says author Juan Cole, a professor of history at the University of Michigan, referring to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), with which the two Bondi Beach shooters had a connection. “Yet a mainstream Muslim intervened to halt it.”
#Australia #Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) statement on Bondi Beach terror attack (excerpts)
from #WorldOutlook Dec. 16
Our values are clear. We reject #antisemitism and all forms of racism. We reject violence, hate, and attempts to divide our communities. We stand for dignity, safety, and care for all people, and for a world where everyone can live free from fear, without exception…
Our movement represents the best of our community, from First Nations leaders, members of the #Jewish community, side by side with Palestinian siblings, and the wider Arab community, among many other allies from all walks of life. Together we have insisted on a world that is free from racism and hate. And we will continue to insist that antisemitism… has no place in our society. We must all harness the courage of Ahmed al Ahmed, the hero who disarmed the gunman. His bravery calls us to stand together against hatred.

Statement by Free Palestine Melbourne
from #WorldOutlook, Dec. 16, 2025
Free Palestine Melbourne is appalled and deeply saddened by the massacre at #BondiBeach. We extend our condolences to the family and friends of the victims. We understand the pain felt by all members of the Jewish community.
We condemn the Bondi killers, whatever their claimed motives may have been. We reject all forms of racism. FPM’s members include activists from #Muslim, Christian and #Jewish backgrounds and others. Our movement is one of peace and solidarity.
This tragedy should be a moment where we come together. The bravery of Ahmed el Ahmed, who risked his life to save Jewish lives, should be our inspiration.
We reject responses that are emerging that are being used against the Palestinian community, who have known deep horror and loss over the past two years. Don’t let this unspeakable crime in Bondi divide us.

No, I'm not against Jews, but against Zionism, and I believe Hitchens thinks the same way.
And the allusion to "bitch-slap" isn't so good either. 🤨

The suspended #TempleUniversity student accused of requesting a “F— the Jews” sign at a #Philadelphia sports bar is now telling his side of the story — to a #Holocaust denier — and trying to crowdfund money for legal and other needs.
Mohammad “Mo” Khan, 21, said he only posted a video of the sign and had nothing to do with ordering it. He said he is being vilified by #DavePortnoy, the Jewish owner of Barstool Sports, who said Khan and a friend admitted responsibility for the sign. Khan also called the sign “an edgy joke” and accused #Israel of genocide. “I am the victim,” he said on social media.
Khan also made his case on the podcast of Stew Peters, a far-right media personality and outspoken Holocaust denier with a large online following, where the two discussed fighting “#Jewish supremacy.” Peters made news recently for calling for a “final solution” to deport #Jews from the U.S.
