Bondi hero Ahmed ‘in good spirits’ after being shot twice saving lives

Ahmed el Ahmed’s parents have spoken after their son was injured following his disarming of one of the shooters in the attack.

www.smh.com.au

‘Ahmed, a Muslim, arrived in Sydney more than a decade ago from Syria. The 43-year-old tobacco shop owner is the father of two daughters aged five and six.’

Christian tobacco? Jewish tobacco?

"My imaginary sky god is better than your imaginary sky god!" has killed millions and millions of people over thousands of years.

And yet we've had a lot of Sikhs and Hindus arrive in Australia in the last 20 years with no issues with those religions.

Not all religions are equal when it comes to fostering religious nut jobs.

Islam has Sharia Law, do other religions have such nonsense laws?

Short version, yes.

Jewish Law exists:

Halakha - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Christian 'law' doesn't really have a name that i'm aware of, but there's certainly biblical passages used to dictate actual laws in countries.

Not all Muslims follow Sharia Law as you would present it either, same as the Jewish and Christian groups tend to interpret their belief systems in different ways.

Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mauritius, Turkey and Egypt are all significant majority Muslim countries with very different cultures and laws.

 

[faible]

Would love to know your definition of Australian glory.

Odds on it being 'back before this woke nonsense when you could say whatever you liked about women, gays, and wogs'?

News flash...

Islam thinks it's the final universal religion, believing it perfects the messages of earlier prophets and that the Quran is God's unaltered final revelation, making it the only truly legitimate path to God.

Sure looks like they think they are special and above other groups to me.

Islam has Sharia Law, do other religions have such nonsense laws?

Are all Muslims the same?

I have three friends from different ethnicities and all Muslim. Not one of them follows Sharia Law. Not one of them believes they think Islam is the only way or the only religion etc.

The Bible says a lot of shit too, and yet do you think all of Christianity is the same?

Do you think all Jewish people are brainwashed Zionists? (I don't).

I know you said you were atheist. I'm also atheist, but at least I have respect for my fellow humans who might believe in something I don't. For example I don't mock my Italian in-laws for believing in God and the miracles performed by Saints. I listen and learn, and we have good conversations. I don't have to agree or believe in everything they say but I can acknowledge it and be respectful.

That man is a world champion at disinformation

Lol, no one is taking that title from old Vlad.

Lol, get back to me about the evangelical Christians who believe Israel is part of a biblical prophesy.

Again you are conflating extreme actions onto everyone in a whole group.

Fundamentalists of all stripes beleive they are the only legit path to god, I think they are all bad and wrong.

Difference to you and I is you think Islam is uniquely evil as a religion whereas you dont think Christian’s are. You have no factual basis for this, it’s just how it “feels” to you.

People in here still not getting it!! unreal

Teehee, you doing ironic satire?

That other guy's source seems to be Laura Loomer. She's the one pushing the story that he's a Christian.

 

[Blue1980]

For a side of politics that claim to hate identity politics, conservatives seem oddly invested in the guy who disarmed the shooter being Christian

 

[1990crow]

What a load of shit, you have fallen hook line and sinker for her rhetoric. If you honestly believe that your what's wrong with this country.

I imagine police are happy they missed

 

[Bont the Lord]

Netanyahu, Murdoch press and Pauline using this massacre to attack Labor is just so despicable.

Now Benjamin this is an anti Semitic attack. People protesting about what your country is doing isn't. Even Frydenberg can't help himself and politicise the event in a post.

 

[The Blue Max]

Mind boggling incompetence.

He was suspected to be a member of Islamic state. Why does someone like that get a firearms licence?

Albo needs to find out why and give the order of the boot to every member of ASIO responsible for that dereliction of duty.

It was THE SON who was involved with an Islamic State group.

The weapons are ALL licensed to the father.

 

[western royboy]

The incident is horrific, unfathonable to most of us.

How anyone can stoop to some of the political point scoring and disinformation levels to justify their own warped sense of reality is beyond me.

Remember the names of the clowns who jumped straight in to cash in….hold them accountable down the track when you can.

Yep, wonder why that is hey?

You're a far right nutter so you've most likely ignored anything not convenient to you, but have you not seen the shit that Catholics try to push in the US and here?

Worldwide my friend, worldwide…

 

[The Blue Max]

The let a known islamic nutter have 7 rifles while AI detects people texting on their mobile phones.

WRONG. The Islamic State supporter identified by ASIO was the SON.

You’re making a clown of yourself.

In Australia? That's fair. The main shock of yesterday's events is that "it doesn't happen in Australia".

Globally? I'd suggest there are quite a few different religious nutjobs wreaking havoc. Ultimately we aren't immune.

There are also a lot of mentally ill nutjobs wreaking havoc without any religious affiliation.

To be fair Nick Giannopoulos wouldn't have made Wog Boy. How it didn't win an Oscar is beyond me

 

[Jazny]

Attacks like this were very regular in Israel especially during the second intifada. It is very shocking that this has been brough to the Australian Jewish community.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

News corp were there on the street within an hour trying to spin it.

With these events, it’s always the very worst people who are loudest straight after.

"Spin" it. How would you "spin" it that's different?

 

[1990crow]

"Spin" it. How would you "spin" it that's different?

Maybe just maybe Albo didn't personally shoot Jews.

Agreed. As I mentioned after though, Australia isn't immune to the shrinking globe.

Yes Australia, that's where we live and what impacts us.

I can't say I was shocked.

If people were honest most would admit they knew something like this would eventually happen and where it would come from.

And they were right.
