badgerx16 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-68822846 '"I never falsely suggested anything," Simeon Boikov tells me. Under the alter ego "Aussie Cossack", he posted untrue speculation that a 20-year-old Jewish university student was the attacker who had stabbed and killed five women and one man at a Westfield shopping centre in Sydney. He said on X: "Unconfirmed reports identify the Bondi attacker as Benjamin Cohen. Cohen? Really? And to think so many commentators tried to initially blame Muslims '' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Super Saint Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 20 hours ago, sadoldgit said: Not only were the Sydney police quick to dispel any idea that the motive of the attack was extremist terrorism (if anything he was targeting women) but here is the kicker, the one male killed was security guard Faraz Tahir. Faraz was a Muslim immigrant from Pakistan. You won’t hear that from Batman though. Why did you feel the need to bring his religion into it? It's clear that the ONLY reason he was killed was because he was a security guard in the shopping centre were a nutter was trying to kill people. He was trying to do his job.

whelk Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Funny how assumptions are now seen to be something people should be cancelled for. Same people who clamour for it probably claim they cannot tell black people from white people as they have such a pure mindset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's just my natural racism to assume that a priest in an orthodox church being attacked by someone who the police are going to great measures not to release the religion of, whilst confirming the attack was a terrorist incident, will eventually be confirmed as a Muslim. It could be something else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be something else though. Given the reported differences between the Bishop and other factions of the Assyrian Orthodox Church I am wondering if this is more of a "domestic'. Certainly, the Police are saying the lad has a history of knife offences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this boy is found to be a Muslim, does that mitigate the IDFs actions against tens of thousands of innocent civilians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait to see what the facts are before making any assumptions about the assailant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not the same for everyone else, they need their heads looking at. P.s there's already a thread for your sanctimonious Gaza lectures, please try and keep them there.

That job and religion go hand in hand and one can't exist without the other. Surely you can recognise that religion in that context is enormously different to which religion a security guard in a shopping mall might practice?

The religion of the perpetrator is assumed given the police have called it a terrorist act, which would make it very relevant. Not sure why you are confused by this, the two attacks are not the same.

I suspect you're right - I missed that bit when I read it earlier and just saw 'orthodox'. Still, I guess that leaves the Muslim versus Christian millennia old feud or the similarly aged Christian on Christian fight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
