Heroic Muslims Are Not the “Antidote” to Islamist Terror
I strongly suspect the sentiments I am about to express mean this is not going to be a very popular article, and I equally strongly suspect the Daily Sceptic is one of the very few publications in this country which would actually print it. But, when it comes to Australia’s horrific Bondi Beach shooting, in which at least 15 Jews celebrating Hannukah were shot dead by a father-and-son team of presumable Islamists, it may in some ways have been better if the brave and noble actions of the man who ran up to one of the two terrorists and wrestled his gun away had not happened.
Obviously, he is a genuine hero, and it is brilliant his intervention saved lives. So perhaps I should qualify my statement here as meaning less ‘I wish he hadn’t stepped in’, and more ‘I wish his actions hadn’t been reported in the way they have been’. Because, as you just may possibly perhaps have heard, the hero of the hour was a local fruit-seller named Ahmed Al Ahmed – and he was a Muslim. So, it appears, were the two named shooters, Sajid and Naveed Akram, but most of the world’s media don’t seem to want us to dwell on this particular detail of the matter quite so much.
Jews of the World
The front pages of the majority of Britain’s newspapers the morning after the slaughter chose headlines designed to highlight less that some Muslims had shot some Jews but that another Muslim had tried to save them. Some of these newspapers were even the very ones habitually labelled as being ‘far-Right’ and ‘Islamophobic’ by the Left, like the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, Britain’s only daily news publication with a medieval Christian Crusader as its mascot.
Other outlets like the Telegraph tried to be a little more balanced, implying the very best and very worst of Islam and humanity alike were on display at Bondi that day.
Only the occasional daring publication like the Sun focused primarily on the horror and violence of the situation: no doubt, if and when Labour’s proposed new definition of ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ is pushed through, such blasphemous presentations will be rendered completely haram.
Overall, the editorial line was quite clear: one hero Muslim saves Jews, not two Muslims kill Jews. It’s a bit like saying WWII Germany was great because of Oskar Schindler, whilst completely ignoring Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich. What is the subliminal (or not so subliminal) implication of the standard media presentation of this matter, as illustrated above? That the West must import more Muslims, as only they can save non-Muslims from other Muslims. Have these people never heard of ‘The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly’? (I keep making this analogy, but no-one ever listens.)
Beach Bodies
Ahmed Al Ahmed is indeed a hero: he certainly deserves some kind of reward, and not only in Paradise. Happily, a billionaire American banker, Bill Ackman, has just offered him one, to the tune of $100,000. There have been calls for the Jewish state of Israel to hand him an official honour too, although whether he would really like to go and receive a gong from what many Muslims regard as the bloodstained hand of Binjamin Netanyahu, would perhaps provide the ultimate test of just how well-integrated Mr Ahmed truly is.
Rewards can consist of praise as well as money, of course. The tides had not yet washed Bondi’s sands clean of Jewish blood before ranks of liberal-minded commentators were repurposing the whole situation to stand less as an emblem of the failures of multiculturalism, more as an illustration of its complete success. A columnist in no less than the Jerusalem Post wrote:
There is another reason this matters. The Bondi Beach attack will be exploited by extremists who want to turn it into fuel for collective blame, collective suspicion, and collective hate. That road leads nowhere good. [And where does the opposite road lead, then?] Jews know what it means to be judged not as individuals but as a category, a problem, a target. Ahmed’s story is the antidote to that poison.
But it isn’t, is it? The delusional excessive elevation of Ahmed’s bravery away from belonging to himself personally, and the projection of it onto Muslims living in the West as a whole, will not act as the “antidote” to the poison of murderous Islamic extremism, but will only enable it to spread ever further.
If the warrior who had tackled the gunman had happened by remarkable coincidence to have been Tommy Robinson on a winter beach-holiday, do you think we would have been getting columns like this being pumped out everywhere? And I really do mean everywhere, even in ostensibly Right-wing publications like the Spectator, where Aussie columnist Terry Barnes argued this:
But Ahmed’s courage and bravery also serves a nobler purpose, especially today in shocked and horrified Australia. In the aftermath of Bondi, many Australians, in their anger at the perpetrators of this horrible terror act, haven’t hesitated to tar all Muslims with those men’s vile and evil brush. … They should instead be thankful that many Jewish lives were saved by a Muslim man, who could have chosen to keep under cover and save himself. Ahmed’s selfless bravery is a timely and welcome reminder… that it is wrong to conflate peaceable, faithful and devout Muslims with radical Islamists. … [Ahmed] is an antidote to the hatred the perpetrators showed to the Jews they targeted.
No, he’s not an “antidote”, he’s a politically convenient bromide in human form. Awkward though it may be to say so, although Ahmed personally had no intention to do anything but good on Bondi that day, he is inadvertently being made to serve the cause of violent global jihad nonetheless by Panglossian useful idiots like the above.
Family Bondis
What’s the best way to ensure more Jews (and others) die at the hands of Muslims in the West in the future? Import more Muslims. With that in mind, examine the interview the Australian Broadcasting Corporation rushed to carry out with Ahmed Al Ahmed’s parents. They live in Sydney and are presented as being impeccably well-integrated. If so, why does his mum still dress like this?
What does ‘well integrated’ mean in Western Muslim terms now? Wearing a hijab in nice Laura Ashley pastel colours instead of ISIS flag-black? I know absolutely nothing about how religious the pair are, but even so, the mild Islamic conservatism the mother’s mode of dress appears to indicate represents precisely the kind of comparatively bland and benign, ethno-religious sea within which killers like the Bondi gunmen can swim inside Western societies like Australia.
The pair took the opportunity to praise their son’s bravery:
When he did what he did, he wasn’t thinking about the background of the people he’s saving, the people dying in the street. He doesn’t discriminate between one nationality and another. Especially here in Australia, there’s no difference between one citizen and another.
But there demonstrably is quite a bit of “difference between one citizen and another” in Australia these days, isn’t there? For example, the difference between Australia’s sainted Muslim citizens, who are continually pandered to, and everyone else, who are subjected to Islamists going around firebombing synagogues, stabbing priests and attempting to slaughter Christmas shoppers with machetes and bombs because they thought it would be “cool”. At least their teen-speak language was fully Westernised, then.
The Boomerang Effect
The final paragraph of ABC’s interview with Ahmed’s parents is worth repeating in its entirety:
Family calls on PM for help
They fear that due to their age, they won’t be able to help their son in his recovery [from the gunshot wounds sustained during the attack]. As a result, they are calling on the… Government to help his two brothers, one from Germany and the other from Russia, to travel to Australia to support the family. “He needs help now as he’s become disabled now,” Ms Ahmed said. “We need our other children to come here to help.”
No you don’t. Besides Bill Ackman’s $100,000, the hero of the hour had received $550,000 in thoroughly deserved public donations in a mere 12 hours – I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s $1 million by now. The Ahmeds could use that to pay for professional nurses. Or move back to the Middle East and live as comparative sheiks there for the next few generations (albeit, given their son’s now famous Jew-helping exploits, he may soon find himself taking a few more bullets from distinctly more unsympathetic locals if they do). Letting any more Muslims in, even good ones like we must presume the Ahmeds are, is the last thing Australia needs right now.
Also worth reprinting in full is the final paragraph of our very own Guardian’s coverage:
For AlKahil, [an Australian Muslim the Guardian interviewed] the profound tragedy also brought a sense of fear. “As Muslims, every time there’s an attack we say to ourselves, oh no, people will say it’s Muslims that are bad,” she said. “We are scared to leave our houses if we’ll be accused. But our religion is a religion of peace and we are very peaceful people. This proves that.”
Two Muslims shoot some Jews, and the ‘correct’ official conclusion to be drawn is that this “proves” Islam is a religion of peace. Isn’t a far better lesson to be drawn that certain strains of Islam are peaceful, certain strains are outright genocidal, certain strains are somewhere in-between, and that, just to be on the safe side, absolutely all strains should be kept safely quarantined somewhere distant on the other side of the world, away from the previously peaceful West?
Not according to Kumbaya dreamers like Labour MP Lola McEvoy, whose immediate response to Bondi was as follows:
You don’t want to speculate on what the factors are that have contributed to this awful tragedy [You might not want to, Lola, but I do]. … I firmly believe that people are good, and that given the opportunity, they will look out for each other. And I just want to say that as much as possible, we should try and detoxify the way that we think of people who aren’t like us, because our diversity in this country is our strength. And I firmly am on the side of working together and celebrating our differences. Because, you know, I was a community organiser a long, long time ago, and the strongest campaigns that we ever worked on were about bringing people of different faiths and different world views and different backgrounds together to find what we had in common.
I have absolutely nothing in common with you, Lola, and nor do most of your traditional electorate. That’s a major part of why the Labour Party’s support is utterly cratering at the moment, because normal sane people are sick to the back teeth of utopian vomit like this spewing out of your stupid Islamophilic mouths after every such massacre whose supposedly mysterious “contributory factors must not be speculated on”, lest any such conjecture should happen to alienate the ever-growing Muslim vote in traditional Labour safe-seats like Bradford and Oldham. “I firmly believe that people are good,” this fool says, even when some “people” are shooting other people dead on a beach.
Still, Lola’s just an obscure English PPS in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Thank God Australia itself doesn’t have suicidally empathetic Eloi like that in positions of actual power at the current moment in time, eh? Oh no, wait. At his post-pogrom press conference, Palestine-pandering Left-wing PM Anthony Albanese paid tribute to Ahmed tackling the gunman as a paradigmatic example of “Australians coming together”. “Australians coming together?” That’s a funny way of describing a Syrian immigrant taking on some (reported) Pakistani immigrants in a gunfight over some Jews, isn’t it?
In the short term, Ahmed Al Ahmed saved dozens of Jewish lives. In the medium to long term, his fine example is going to be systematically exploited to ensure that thousands more Jews (and gays, whites, Christians, apostates, etc. etc.) are the victims of Islamist attacks. I know Ahmed is a genuine hero. But please, let’s not treat him as one, at least not in the way Albanese and McEvoy are: the ultimate cost will just be too great.
I know this column makes me sound like a heartless piece of shit. But empathy has got us absolutely nowhere. And heartlessness is generally better than brainlessness.

Ahmed is the (admittedly brave) Muslim sticking plaster they are using to try and cover up the gaping wound of Islamic violence.
Islamic texts have some very violent passages, particularly towards Jews, and some (in fact a large number) of Muslims interpret them literally and put the instructions into practice. We in the west have imported large numbers of Muslims and, inevitably, a sizeable proportion are literal Muslims.
Triggernometry has an interview with Raymond Ibrahim on the subject of the REAL history of Islam, which is well worth watching.
It was spread by violence, and it still is.

I wonder if Mr Ahmed Al Ahmed will ever be able to attend his mosque again.
There’s around 2 billion Muslims in the world.
A very small percentage of them are terrorists.
To be phobic against ALL Muslims is irrational and racist.
I am quite in favour of deporting Muslims from the UK who are a threat but those that are not and contribute positively to society and are not an economic drain should be welcome.
Tarring all Muslims with the same brush as Steven Tucker has done inflames a situation that weak “liberal” politicians have created by lax immigration rules.
You make a good point though I think the grey areas are:
1) Define “threat”. Does this community give tacit or active support to people and actions that are definitely a threat? Who in the community? How many? I mean, I am very much an individualist but there is a “community” even if not all of them agree with everything that everyone else says or does.
2) Define “contribute positively”. That can mean many things. Simply by being a large number of people with very different habit and attitudes creates a disturbance which I think we are better off without.
That said, we have to make the best of the people that are here already because most of them are never going to be “deported”.
I’ve only skimmed the article but I agree with the point being made by the article’s title.
The problem, as far as I can see is the irreconcilable contradiction between being a Muslim (which seems to mean that you accept every single verse in the Quran, including those that incite violence against non-Muslims) and being peaceful.
I just can’t see how that contradiction can be resolved.
In contrast, there is not a single passage, even a hint, in St Paul’s letters – which are the basis of Christian theology – that calls for violence against non-believers.
Yes, but Christians need to remember that Jesus himself told his disciples to CARRY SWORDS for SELF-DEFENCE.
And Jesus himself used a WHIP to lash and drive the Moneychangers out of the Temple.
Do you understand what being a Muslim entails?
Apparently not.
It isn’t isn’t like being a member of the Church of England, where you can join because you like the architecture of their buildings.
I think much like there are many people who consider themselves Christians but never attend church and would be hard pushed to quote anything from the Bible, there are many Muslims that don’t attend the mosque nor do they read their Koran and treat it like a literal instruction manual on how to live their lives. I think the latter are the ones who are more likely to be integrated into the culture of the West. I do hate Islam, though, but I think the differences in interpretation of their religious teachings was certainly on display in this Bondi Beach attack; ”A sociological study should be conducted about Ahmad, the Muslim who saved Jewish lives at Bondi Beach, as opposed to the terrorist Muslim who was trying to kill them. How did two Muslims engage in two opposite kinds of behavior? The answer is simple: Every text is what you make of it. Quran is a very general text. Its diacritics was added centuries later. In Arabic, diacritics change the meaning drastically. Even when there are no other ways to read parts of the text, specific verses can be dismissed as applying to their immediate day and time. Islam itself… Read more »
Those 2 billion Muslims are in places like Pakistan, Bangladesh, North Africa, Middle East, Afghanistan, Nigeria.
They are brutal, aggressive, violent: flog young men if beards too short or they listen to Western music, stone women for adultery, cut off heads and hands, pour acid into the eyes of girls trying to learn to read, sell their 12 year old daughters to elderly men in marriage, pædophilia is acceptable, death for apostasy, slaughter people of other religions putrid hatred of Jews, carry out frequent, brutal terror attacks in the West and in their own Countries, treat women like cattle, consider non-believers to be less than Human.
Plenty of tar to go round.
But it only happens to those that digress from their Laws.
They only want total obedience, total submission.
And for women, it’s even worse! 🙂
An easy way to overcome Islamophobia is convert to Islam then convert to another religion. You’re not phobic if you know they are out to kill you.
Islam is a proselytising religion, they welcome people of all races hence it cannot be racist to have a go at them.
To be phobic about Muslims is completely rational and not racist. Islam is not a race, it is a hateful, violent, political ideology. The clue is in the name.
Islam spreads through violence and fear. Not only does its texts advocate the killing of Jews and Christians, but also those labelled as “apostates” that turn from its teachings. (Often by the hands of family members or their own communities). There is some laxity in practices (e.g. alcohol and drugs), but not when it comes to solidarity with other Muslims – be they “moderate” or “extremist” – how often do you hear condemnation of atrocities carried out in the name of their god? In the West, most commentators would prefer to deny the truth of what Islam really stands for, its mission to subjugate our way of life and values by conquest. We’d like to think that if appeased, we will be left alone – we might even be able to integrate with one another. What foolishness! However, it comes as a pleasant surprise to reinforce that false narrative when a fellow Muslim stands up to extremists. (There was another who stopped a murderous attack at Leytonstone tube station some years back – “you ain’t no Muslim, Bro”). It allows some among us to cling to the pretence that there can be harmony – with and within their communities. Actually,… Read more »
It’s a difficult area. If a Muslim person was born here and by and large is integrated then I find it difficult to justify deporting them. But what we can do is stop encouraging bad behaviour and a failure to integrate. Islamic faith schools should be banned. No ostentatious mosques – turn down planning applications. No head scarves or Islamic dress in public. Cut benefits for all (Muslims and non-Muslims alike). Cousin marriage banned with mandatory DNA testing and huge fines (100K per inbred child say). Relocation should be encouraged, maybe with a financial incentive.
Of course, all the recent immigration from the Boris regime and onward, legal or illegal, needs to be reversed, with a ‘thanks for coming, see you later’ letter to those here legally and deportation flights for those who came illegally.
I think you need to investigate Islam more thoroughly. Start with the Koran, it’s short, easy to read and deeply disturbing in tone and content. There’s a good interview on Triggernometry, The History Of Islam, for example… Ultimately Mohammed was an exceptionally violent man who preached hatred towards non-muslims in his defining Medina period. As all Muslims revere Mohammed as being the ultimate example of humanity, we should all be worried.
Are you “worried” about Mo Salah who plays for Liverpool because he is Muslim?
Are you “worried” about Djed Spence who plays for Spurs and England because he is Muslim?
There are tens of thousands of Muslims in the UK contributing to society in many positive ways.
No, they don’t, actually. They take us for all they can get.
Is it rational to fear for yourself and your children becoming a minority in your only home country even if the majority of those Muslims are peaceful and contribute to society?
Imagine a scene like bondi happening in Pakistan, a Christian murdering Muslim families on a religious festival… every Christian in Pakistan would be rounded up, the lucky ones deported, the rest raped, beaten and chucked on bonfires.
So personally I wouldn’t mind if every Muslim in England was chucked out.
They do not belong here. Their stupid clothes stupid beards, fgm, gang rape, election fraud, waste heaps…
I’m not sure if I made myself clear?
Yay!
how is it racist?
It might be irrational, although I do not think it is irrational to fear members of a faith which has such a violent history …. but it certainly isn’t racist.
Islam is a religion not a race. Muslims come from a large number of countries, including western, white, converts and they too are not a race.
Realistic estimates of Muslims who support Jihadist ideology put that number at 3% – that’s about 60 million people, similar to the population of Britain. That is not “tarring all Muslims with the same brush”, it is prima facie evidence that radical Islam is an existential threat to liberal values and Judeo-Christian culture.
That is the ‘first principles’ point the author is making. It is the same point I made in my TDS column back October. Sadly our leaders don’t seem to be listening and we should expect many more Manchesters and Bondis.
We ignore it at our peril.
https://staging.dailysceptic.org/2025/10/07/britain-needs-a-new-backbone/
That’s 3% worldwide in many unsafe Muslim countries.
The figure will be much lower in the UK and is indicative of weak “liberal” governments allowing them in in the first place and not ejecting them.
A very small percentage of them are terrorists? Please see the video below which should help clarify this point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z_RAbOJcu0&t=13s Brigitte Gabriel’s Epic and Brilliant Answer To “Most Muslims Are Peaceful…” Here is part transcript of Brigitte’s response: “…There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today, of course not all of them are radicals. The majority of them are peaceful people. The radicals are estimated to be between 15% to 25% according to all intelligence services around the world. That leaves 75% of them peaceful people. But when you look at 15% to 25% of the world Muslim population you’re looking at 180 million to 300 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western Civilization. That is as big of the United States, so why should we worry about the radicals 15% to 25%? Because it is the radicals that kill, because it is the radicals that behead and Massacre. When you look throughout history, when you look at all the lessons of History, most Germans were peaceful yet the Nazis drove the agenda and as a result 60 million people died, almost 14 million in concentration camps, 6 million were Jews – the peaceful majority were irrelevant.

The Concept of Dar al Islam and Dar al Harab Explained. Gad Saad on Joe Rogan podcast
It’s not a question of ‘tarring all Muslims with the same brush’, it’s the fact that (very) bad-intentioned actors are hiding amongst them, as we have frequently seen. This makes the group unreliable and we do right to be fearful and suspicious. Sure, Ahmed did an astonishingly brave thing, but that does not remove the risk that another hitherto unknown from the group will suddenly and violently emerge from the woodwork.
The media seem to be painting a huge target on Ahmed al Ahmed’s back.
Yes, I imagine he will wake up one day with his head separated from his body. And probably his family too.
No, I doubt it, because his actions seem part of a Globalist publicity stunt.

These ‘Heroic Muslims’ have put themselves in danger: they are traitors to their cause.
Not really— he didn’t even shoot the Mass Murderer in the legs, but just LET HIM WALK SLOWLY AWAY UNHARMED, so as NOT TO SHOOT A FELLOW MUSLIM.
Seems like a set-up to me.
Had he shot him, he’d have committed a crime as he was neither acting in self-defense nor to avoid any other kind of imminent harm.
I think one of the things this horrific attack highlights is that people are individuals, first and foremost. Whether it be women, men, black people, Muslims, Jews etc, you cannot categorise people in the name of simplicity and treat them as if they were one monolithic, homogenous blob that functions with a hive mind and has no deviations from your preconceived notions whatsoever. Every sane person knows there are good Muslims as well as bad, same as with anything else. What I think is also obvious is that if the hero guy had been a Christian, or of no religious affiliation, that fact would likely not be shouted from the rooftops, as it is with Mr Ahmed. He’s a hero because he was brave and did a good deed, not because he’s a Muslim. I agree with ex-Muslim: Brother Rachid; ”Islamic Terror, One Hero, and the West’s Delusion: On 9/11, 19 Muslim terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people. Everyone involved in the planning, financing, logistics, and spiritual guidance were Muslims. The rhetoric and logic expressed by the perpetrators were Islamic, and the texts they used to justify their attacks were Islamic. Yet, because most Muslims did not participate—and because some Muslims… Read more »
One must always be careful that our eye is not evil because of someone else’s goodness.
Still waiting for the outpouring of grief from England’s Muslim community for the 10 year old girl and the other victims of that vile attack…
Exactly, of course the vast majority of Muslims are like any of the rest of us. Happy to get on with their families and neighbours and not extremists. But it still remains true that unlike other religions Islam is aggressive in it’s principles and scorns non believers as worthless. With that thread running through it unfortunately incidents like the murders at Bondi beach will never be eliminated. The concept of Jihad and the reward for those who wage it makes Islam’s cohabitation with non believers constantly dangerous.
No, that is not true. The truth of Islam is well-hidden from westerners, for good reason. There is NO SUCH THING as a “Moderate Muslim”— only Muslims BIDING THEIR TIME until their chance to gain their entry ticket to Paradise comes.
NO MUSLIM MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD can be guaranteed entry to their “Paradise”
unless they have KILLED AN INFIDEL, or DIED TRYING to kill one, ANY WAY THEY CAN, by open jihad or by STEALTH MURDER.
Every single Muslim is a clear and present danger to everyone else on the planet.
And that is why the Norwegian blogger Fjordman was correct in declaring years ago that:
“ISLAM MUST BE EXPELLED FROM THE WEST.”
I agree with every word. This horrific act of terror did not occur in a vacuum. People in th community must have known something was amiss with these two (at least) men. And I say that as someone who lived his teenage years in Belfast in the 70s. Brigitte Gabriel (ditto Lebanon 70s) has a lot to say about this, and the “peaceful majority of Muslims”. That said, speed with which the anti-white narrative was wheeled out by apologist Albaness was astonishing.
I know this column makes me sound like a heartless piece of shit.
I don’t think so. I consider it a rather appropriate wake-up call against people and groups who seek to instrumentalize the bravery of one man for their pre-existing political agenda while erasing himself. To them, Ahmed is not the courageous man (they’d probably greatly prefer if he would soon start self-identifying as woman because man plus anything positive is very much against other parts of their ideology) who disarmed a terrorist attacker but just “the example muslim” they can sort-of nail to their standards to make them somewhat more pretty (in their opinion, at least).
I think this is very inappropriate. The guy deserves to be honoured for what he did and not because of something he also happens to be because this happens to be politically convenient for some people. I think that’s rather sickening.
I searched several channels but I was unable to find an interview with the undoubtedly brave Mr Ahmed Al Ahmed.
Should such an interview take place, it would be reasonable to ask him: “If you knew that the shooter was a fellow muslim shooting Jews, would you still have pounced on him?”
After all, Mr Ahmed was a policeman trained to react instinctively when confronting criminal acts and very likely he did not know the identity of the shooter or his victims. Let’s hope one day a brave reporter will ask that question.
At any rate, it is a comprehensive, thought-provoking article with full credit to the author and DS for allowing people to put forward alternative views.
If I was this guy and you were a reporter asking me this particular loaded question, I would tell you to find something else to occupy your time with ASAP because otherwise, I’d give you something else to occupy your time with you’d rather not like.
My question was rhetorical. Mr Ahmed was a devout muslim as it seems from the article. As such, he knew that it was against the spirit and explicit commands of the Quran for one believer to attack another believer as they are considered brothers.
Moreover, as a true believer if he knew the shooter was a “brother” he would have joined him shooting the Jews as instructed by Surah Al-Bagataf – 191 that reads: “Kill them wherever you can upon them and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out,” identifying totally with his Palestinian brothers.
It’s a pity that your parents failed so completely in turning you into an at least halfway decent person but probably too late to correct this now.
He wasn’t a policeman. He was and still is an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT whose Syrian parents rushed to get on a plane to fly to Australia and claim Fake Refugee status only days ago, riding shamelessly on the back of his “heroism”. Very convenient.
All this is an example of the ‘anaesthetic for the communities’ that is pre-prepared to be displayed whenever there is some outrage such as this. The body politic suffers from the transplanted organ of diversity and large doses of mind-numbing medication have to be applied to it.
And in this particular example, it involves the submission of Australia’s prime minister. He only needs to say the seven words of the creed for it to be complete.
The synagogues will have to find Heroic Muslims for their security details. The Australian man didn’t accidentally shoot any of the co-children of Abraham.
Thanks Steve for speaking out.
While in no way begrudging the man’s bravery who disarmed the gunman, some caveats are required before we all submit in a miasma of sycophancy. In 2015, 30 British tourists were murdered on a beach at a holiday resort near Sousse in Tunisia by terrorist gunmen. As with the reporting of this Australian outrage, the British media focused on a waiter who had thrown ash trays at the gunmen in what the media described as an act of bravery, trying to save the tourists. However, as a Muslim and Tunisian the waiter would have been in no danger since the gunmen had come to kill foreigners. The gunmen were not inconvenienced by flying ash trays. It was also reported with less emphasis that armed Tunisian security guards had run away rather than engage the gunmen. In the case of Bondi Beach, at close quarters with the gunman, the man could have identified himself as a co-religionist. As such he would have been in no danger; the gunman, like the ones in Tunisia, had not come to kill co-religionists. That he could come to close quarters without being shot needs some explanation at least. From the videos, the gunman makes no… Read more »
The video showed this: He used a line of parked cars running to left of the gunman from behind to cover his approach (the published video started with Ahmed ducking behind the car closest to the shooter) and then, jumped out at the guy with the gun, grabbed him and disarmed him within less then 10 seconds and then aimed the gun at him which caused him to flee.
The video also showed the two men wrestling for control of the gun.

A few awkward facts have emerged about this “hero”: 1) He’s an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT to Australia, who fathered two children to cement his future claims, while setting up his own ILLEGAL BUSINESS as a fruit-seller, so his new “hero” status will ensure that he will be rewarded for his criminality by being allowed to stay. 2) HE BROUGHT IN HIS ELDERLY MUSLIM SYRIAN PARENTS ONLY DAYS AGO as Fake Refugees, riding on the back of his “heroism”, to now enjoy Australian State Pensions, with neither he nor they ever paying in a penny. “A bystander who wrestled a gun from one of the alleged attackers during a mass shooting at Bondi Beach has been identified as Ahmed al Ahmed, WHOSE REFUGEE PARENTS HAD JUST ARRIVED FROM SYRIA, according to Australian officials and media.” Ahmed Al Ahmed: ‘Heroic’ bystander who wrestled rifle from Bondi Beach gunman is son of refugees and father to two | CNN And now the two parents have the brass neck to demand that their other two adult Muslim Syrian sons be allowed to join the entire ILLEGAL FAMILY, no doubt soon to be followed by 25 other Syrian Fake Refugees claiming to be his relatives.

Good find! So shocking that their courage has only been honoured in New Zealand, and not even mentioned in Australia or in any others among the world’s press.
Although the comments section doesn’t seem to think they were so heroic, it seems to be jammed full of conspiracy theorists who claim ‘setup’ and ‘too convenient’.
Not a “heartless piece of shit Stephen”. More like clear thinking sagacity. Excellent piece.
There doesn’t seem to be a ‘like’ button, but I’d like to salute your brave stance, well expressed (and well done DS). Each atrocity gets re-labelled a ‘tragedy’ and politicians express how their ‘hearts go out to the victims’ instead of developing hard-headed plans to fight evil and protect their citizens.
As I understand it, the hero was actually a Maronite Christian former police officer originally from Syria
He’s an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT who entered Australia ILLEGALLY, and stayed there for years ILLEGALLY.
Excellent point, well said.
And I agree: if it weren’t for the few corners of honest and free opinion in the media, such as this, we could not find relief from the gaslighting around us
