It doesn’t discount Lubresca’s heroism. I said it was
an attempt to discount it. The two cannot be compared.
With purpose, intent and results, Lubresca’s actions
saved the lives of many.
By unverified accident Waleed (may) have unintentionally
saved a life.
I don’t hate all Muslims. Some are bad. But if they’re all bad, then why did American troops fight and die to liberate Muslims in Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam. Those mass graves that we weep over are graves of MUSLIMS. You can’t have it both ways - you can’t say, on the one hand, we need to liberate Iraqis from a dictator, while saying, on the other hand, that all Muslims are scum - because Iraqis are Muslims too. There’s a lot of bigotry and hypocrisy flying around, that’s for sure.
Because it draws attention away from Lubresca and any other real heroes with this sham.
“By unverified accident Waleed (may) have unintentionally

You weren’t there, so you don’t know what happened, and neither does anyone else on FR. All this speculation is worthless. It might have been intentional, or not. Maybe he didn’t move at all.
I would like to point out that there are probably many acts of heroism that occur which are never known or never recognized. Just because all heros never recieve their 15 minutes of fame, doesn’t mean that they aren’t heros. Just because no one sees it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen.
I do believe that God sees everything, and we will all be judged on everything that we do, not just the things that people see, or that we are recognized for.
I guess for some people, some good stories coming out of this awful tragedy give comfort. I am sure Waleed’s mother felt a tremendous sense of comfort from this story. That is a good thing.
