      Once again, this article doesn’t show any evidence that this man is muslim. The headline is misleading and not supported at all in this article.

      I feel like people like you are quickly making up assumptions about this man based solely on his name and using that assumption to push narratives. This man is a hero, no doubt, but I haven’t seen any actual evidence of his religious beliefs in any local or major media outlet.

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

          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.

            They’re not reporting it because there’s no evidence regarding this man’s religious beliefs. You just went out of your way to find a couple of clickbait headlines without even bothering to read them to spread narratives. You’re a part of the problem.

                The source of this guy being muslim in the article is literally Benjamin Netanyahu…

                Regardless, all I wanted was for you to provide an article that at least had a source for the claim. I don’t trust anything Netanyahu says out of principle, but still this is an article that does provide something to support the claim. It’s not a pure clickbait headline that’s misleading. So there we go, that puts whatever this was to rest.

                  After sleeping this off I think I was being too much of a dick needlessly. I can respect and agree with your desire to make sure facts are well vetted before potentially pushing a false narrative. Cheers mate

          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.
