Political Discussion
Out of three sources cited by you, only cbc.ca states that he was Syrian Muslim, without any corroboration. The two other sources only identify him as of Syrian origin. |
| Australian press has also reported a second man ran towards shooting, took cover, then sprinted up stairs to kick the gun away from the wounded shooter and signalled police. He was initially set upon by others who thought he was one of the attackers. He is a Middle Eastern refugee who had lived in Australia for ten years. |
His father’s name is Mohamed. |
Me too. Anyone claiming this story hasn't been covered sufficiently doesn't have internet or TV. It's certainly a global newsworthy tragedy and this event has received as much media attention as tragedies that occurred in our country. |
Massacres are a daily occurrence. It feels significant to you because you identify with the victims. It's a tragedy and should not have happened, but it is not exceptional or world stopping news. |
I just keep thinking how lucky these guys are that the cops didn't shoot them. It's happened here in the US. |
From the third paragraph of the fox article: The wounded Muslim father, 44, has daughters who are five and six-years-old, according to the outlet, which reported that he came to Australia from Syria in 2006 and later received citizenship in 2022. |
Is this the same CNN that reported the DC pipe bomber is white??? |
How many sources do you need? Is it that important to you to verify that he is Muslim? Does that bother you? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/12/15/who-is-bondi-beach-hero-ahmed-al-ahmed/87778921007/ https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/hero-bystander-tackles-gunman-in-incredible-footage-20251214-p5nnlb.html https://www.timesofisrael.com/a-genuine-hero-unarmed-muslim-bystander-filmed-disarming-sydney-terrorist/amp/ |
| Australia is already considering stricter gun control measures 48 hours later, like people with brains. |
None of that is important. The idea of a thread being shut down only to be replaced with one that is focusing on the religion of the hero, rather than the dead and wounded is all I’d expect from DCUM. Just like the Brown thread is being focused on the dead foreign student rather both now. It’s as if people on this forum must prove something to themselves. It’s pretty reprehensible and exactly what y’all blame Trump for |
| What do you mean? This forum is secretly filled with left-wing people who claim "universalist" values except when Jews are a topic of discussion. |
| It was on my TikTok fyp. |
So, you agree there’s coverage, but it’s not to your standards, so it’s not real coverage? It kind of seems like you want to make this all about you. GMAFB. |

Israel believes that Iran may be the mastermind behind these antisemitic attacks. If true, the US would fully recognize Israel's right to strike Iran in response.
