According to Confirm News, the two attackers were father Sajid Akram, 50, and son Naveed Akram, who is said to be 24. The father has been killed and the son is in hospital with serious injuries. This is the deadliest attack in Australia in 30 years, with sixteen people killed so far. 

Ahmed Al Ahmed, who is probably of Syrian origin, was seriously injured after being shot twice while trying to stop the attacker and is undergoing treatment. 

The news is absolutely correct, and try to understand one more thing with comfort. Since yesterday, a dominant group has been repeatedly saying that if the killers were from a particular religion, then the one who saved them was also from the same religion. Mention him.  It has been mentioned, it has been done everywhere, but if someone wants to praise the rescuers instead of the killers, then this is not only a problem but also a psychological state of denial. The suffering of the dead is great, the subject is great. It is not possible for you to ignore everything else and sit on the “hero” side. 

The next thing to understand is that a large number of people associated with your country or your society, no matter where they live, were found to be linking the killing of people from a particular country/city and the aggression of a country with yesterday’s incident and were found to be saying that this does happen, doesn’t it? Yes, this has happened in such and such a city too, etc. etc. I think it is quite possible that the attackers are also victims of a similar mental state. This thinking is a sick thought. Wherever someone’s life is lost in the world, there are interpretations on it, where is the humanity? 

The last thing. This is the most difficult and painful for people to accept and that is that if any belief, any text, any religious book teaches hatred, aversion to any group of people, belief, then such a belief needs to be rejected. Just like a religious book says that such and such group, people or followers of religion cannot be your friends; it is such a statement that it is extremely necessary and extremely important to limit / understand and leave behind for a certain time. No one talks about the issues of the text because who would turn the face of rudeness, ignorance and extremism towards themselves.

Rudeness, abusive language and extremism never prove your position correct. It shows nothing but the collapse of your argument, your helplessness and filth. 

Think. Stay safe.
