May the victims and their loved ones be protected from all the sensational stories, and political distortions, and most importantly, guns! Sending Ahmed Al Ahmed healing and profound gratitude. Thanks to you, Qasim, for reminding us of what's true.
Qasim, thank you for the moderated video. It is a message seldom spoken. Your words are far better than mine. I will be sharing with many. People believe that the Talmud and the Koran speak of hate, and there is nothing further from the truth. Humanity twists the words for their gain, not the gain of the Creator! I choose to share and speak for the Creator.
What jumps out here is how predictable the script has become. Violence happens, and within minutes people are already auditioning to turn grief into a recruiting tool. Blame the wrong group, expand the wrong powers, avoid the one conversation that actually changes outcomes. It’s the same shell game every time, just with different bodies on the ground.
And then there’s Ahmed al Ahmed, running toward gunfire while professional outrage merchants argue on social media. A Muslim saving Jewish lives while politicians try to turn Jewish suffering into anti-Muslim propaganda is about as clear a moral contrast as you can get. Anyone still insisting our enemy is each other after that isn’t confused. They’re invested in division.
I'M SO AFRAID THAT IT WILL GO THE WAY OF SHOOTINGS IN THE USA. Shock, grief and then a collective amnesia. Having weapons readily available to malcontents it a problem and it will never be dealt with. So Australia is going to become like the States. Shock and grief and collective amnesia. This isn't just a problem for jews it's a problem for all beings from any country or religion.
Zionists are rejoicing. Another opportunity to demand double standards and special pleading, a chance to blame Iran so they can run screaming to their American thug.
Ahmed al Ahmed is a truly brave man, to step into this lethal situation. The statistics you wrote, show the true problem: GUN CONTROL. And the time to talk about it, and legislation, is NOW.
The U.S. is emotionally, mentally, out of control. Our Wild West history, and glorifying it, I've always thought, was the root of our problem. Not just here, but worldwide, misogyny, disrespect of females, adds to the problem -- I have many male friends with good intentions, empathy, but the underlying testosterone, seems to be a fact -- all species, in order to continue, need to procreate, but my god, testosterone, has its downside. And stupid RACISM, with no point, no sense, .... my neighbor with not-white skin, or a different religion, and their success, does not detract from me. Angelou says it best: "we are more alike, my friend, than we are unalike." How can some, see it so CLEARLY, and others, do not. Psychological studies show the difference b/w curious people who want to search, and black & white thinking, needing to be told what to do.
Thank you for your wise words and efforts all year to bring good info to people. I’m unsubscribing from all emails from all 20+ writers I follow until the new year, as need a complete break to recharge for next year. I’ve written a list and will be back. Just wanted to write a note in case ‘unsubscribe’ was misinterpreted. Peace to all.
Another tragic day. I watch the news every day to read about more and more. It is so overwhelming, I am sure, to all of us. This brave muslim man’s heroism lifted my spirits with a sense of hope. Maybe, just maybe, his heroism will be a catalyst to reverse this horrific course humanity seems to be stuck in.
Thank you! 🙏 I continue to benefit from your well-sourced & crystal clear expositions. Unlike many of the more popular writers, you take the time to read & respond to comments. Much appreciated!
I couldn’t help but think of Gaza as I read about these shootings. The lives lost there to Israeli snipers get so little attention. I read that Ahmad’s wife also threw things at the shooter. Don’t know if that is true. A go fund me was set up by a car dealer, I think. One donation of $50,000 and another of $99,000 started it off.
I recently finished reading David Soucie's book WHY PLANES CRASH. In studying air safety and working with the FAA, he realized that institutions (govt) really just look for someone to blame--and case closed. This instead of seeking the root problem--and thus avoiding accidents and not needing to blame anyone. He points out that Thomas Jefferson himself said (its carved in the marble of the Memorial) that we might as well expect man to wear his childhood coat all his life in order not to upset the patterns of the ancestors. The patterns have to change--Jefferson knew this!
Many of us are in unity. But try to get that across to the people who don’t want to be part of it.

As my Jewish friends, of a certain age, would say; Ahmed al Ahmed is a Mensch.
Ahmed Al Ahmed, thank you.

I knew the shooter/ murderer was white the minute I read they were looking into his "mental health background." ....

I am angry that I cannot stop this idiocy. I’m also weary of hearing this horrible news on a daily basis.
I feel your pain Dr. Roy.

I am feeling the same sentiments my friend.
