    I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re absolutely right. A quick google search contained no information about his religion

      Well, the linked article is literally titled “Bondi Beach hero revealed as Muslim fruit seller Ahmed al Ahmed”, so maybe that’s why? Just a wild guess.

        That’s just the title moron, if you bothered to read through the 3 paragraph article, you’ll quickly see that there’s NOTHING in the article that even hints at this man’s religious beliefs. The headline is just there for click bait and you fell for it

      Multiple outlets are reporting he’s a Muslim man. I’d imagine others are not as his religion isn’t exactly relevant to his being a hero.

      Media literacy is dead. People on here are willing to believe clickbait headlines and misinformation if it pushes a narrative they subscribe to.

        It’s because the ‘people’ you are talking are either propagandists or bots.
