The hero who disarmed a terrorist near Bondi beach has been identified as Ahmed al Ahmed.

Or as they say… another one of those damn Muslims coming over here with their heroism and intelligent thinking, saving our lives from the terrorists — it must be stopped.

Racists, wake up.

@randahl He's not a "Muslim." He's a human being who did something really good. His political ideology had nothing to do with it. Please stop treating ideological leanings as if they were ethnicities or biological traits.

@flyhigh @randahl

we only note the hero was muslim to oppose religious bigotry

everyone agrees he took down the shooter because he's a good human being

to point out he is muslim is to oppose hate, that's the only reason

it's important to call him muslim, because out there are stupid bigots right now hating on all muslims

you're acting like randahl just noted he was muslim randomly out of the blue without any association to anything else

you're missing the context here

@benroyce @flyhigh @randahl This is a Muslim man who put his own life at risk to save Jewish folks from Nazi murderers.

This actually makes a lot of sense, as most Nazis (at least in the US) hate both Muslims and Jews.

Lastly, remember this: it takes real courage to charge barehanded at one of two shooters while they still have loaded magazines and are shooting into the crowd! Usually this is done while the shooters are changing magazines, though with multiple shooters they wont usually all run out at once.

Let's ask those who support genocide in Palestine what they thing of Muslims now!
