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.

I updated the post above, because my source was incorrect. According to multiple sources, the person named Mohamed Fateh al-Ahmed is the father of the man who heroically disarmed the terrorists, and the hero's name is Ahmed al Ahmed.

No doubt 'the usual suspects' will dismiss this as 'fake news'!

It's nothing to do with reality and everything to do with us and them, funnily enough if a racist gets to know some of the people who they are being racist against their opinions very often change.

@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.

When the settler colonial apartheid entity committing genocide in Palestine is expending significant effort to paint Muslims as universally bad people in order to justify their continued extermination by the hand of the entity, it very much is of relevance to highlight facts that counter this racist narrative.

@flyhigh
Faith ≠ political ideology

Religion can become a pretext for ideology but they're not the same thing at all.

@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!

@benroyce @flyhigh @randahl
Important to note the reaction here on mainstream social media

Initial praise became more muted when it was discovered he was a Muslim immigrant

Shortly there after, claims began circulating- he was actually Christian Lebanese, because of course no Muslim would stop a shooter

Then it was confirmed he was a Muslim

Sad

@flyhigh @randahl You are right, but as long as there are opinions that terrorism is part of the Islamic religion, it will be necessary to emphasize these "obvious" facts, such as that it was a Muslim who stood up to terrorism.

@randahl reminds me of Mohammad Rafiq.

Mohammad Rafiq single handedly stopped a nazi mass shooter from committing a massacre in a Mosque in Norway. He disarmed the Nazi that tried to shoot him and his fellow worshippers with his bare hands like the goddamn Chad he is.

You won't find Mohammad Rafiq's name in many of the news articles, but the shooter's name is everywhere.

Ergo, I think Mohammad Rafiq deserves to have his name remembered

@randahl honestly, without wanting to trivialise the day, the fact that a muslim intervened against muslim people shooting... confounding.

y'all... it's not muslims, it's people.

bad people shooting at people.

heroic people saving further carnage.
