MAGA Conveniently Pretends Bondi Beach Shooting Hero Wasn’t Muslim
The far right claims that Ahmed al-Ahmed, the bystander who intervened in the deadly anti-Semitic shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Australia this weekend, was a Christian – not a Muslim – to justify their Islamophobia.

At least 12 dead and 29 injured after Naveed Akram – a radical Islamic terrorist – opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration.
Don’t let the media whitewash this:
It’s terrorism.
This is radical Islam.

“The media keeps saying that the man who disarmed the Muslim terrorist in Australia today is also a Muslim who owns a fruit stand,” far-right commentator Laura Loomer. wrote Sunday on X. “Credible reports suggest the man is actually a Lebanese or Coptic Christian. Don’t fall for the propaganda.”
“He’s a Maronite Christian! The hero who stopped one of the terrorists in Australia is Ahmad Al Ahmad. Anti-Israeli crowds celebrated his being Muslim, as if that made the terrorist attack less terrible,” said a major account titled “Hamas Atrocities.” wrote. “But he’s not a Muslim! He’s a Maronite Christian!”
“The hero who disarmed terrorists in Australia is a Christian. NOT a Muslim,” said another account.
This was quickly debunked. In reality, al-Ahmed – who attacked and disarmed one of the gunmen in a shocking act of heroism – is a Muslim immigrant from Syria who owns a fruit store, as confirmed The Jerusalem Post and that of Al-Ahmed family.
“He has been here since 2006 and he is an Australian citizen… My son is a hero. He served in the police and the central security forces,” Al-Ahmed’s father said. said an Australian news show. “His conscience and his soul pushed him to throw himself at one of the terrorists and rid him of his weapon.”
The 43-year-old father of two was shot twice after disarming one of the shooters. currently in hospital to recover.
