Did you read the entire comment, or were you just looking for a point to argue about?

Here's the earlier quote:

" It seems there are some here who may be ideologically loathe to laud a 'heroic Muslim.'

It is debatable whether the movement was deliberately to save the guy's life, but it does seem that many are having a hard time believing that there could be such a thing as a hero who happens to have self-identified as Muslim."

You read the part in bold? That strongly suggests that it could have been propaganda--they sure didn't seem to go into the details. But it does seem that some people here, not necessarily you, are not willing to even allow for such a thing as a "heroic Muslim."

Yeah, I read the entire comment. You turned legitimate suspicion about the motives behind this story to a commentary about the “many...having a hard time believing a hero who happens to have self-indentified as a muslim”.

You made a wrong turn, imo.

Some of us do allow for such a thing as a heroic Muslim. Aren’t they the ones who send their children out in explosive vests to blow themselves to hell in the middle of a group of innocent unsuspecting people?
