Of course he’s a good boy. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) So what better way to increase one’s devotion to Allah than by waging jihad? Jihad is what good boys do.
“Bondi shooters visited Philippines weeks before beach massacre,” by Perry Duffin, Amber Schultz, Mostafa Rachwani and Riley Walter, Sydney Morning Herald, December 15, 2025:
The father and son terrorists who opened fire at Bondi Beach had visited the Philippines just weeks before their attack, sparking concerns they were following the path of Islamist extremists.
Multiple police sources confirmed Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid, had travelled to the South-East Asian nation in November….
Akram’s mother was unable to identify her son from a photo from the scene of the shooting, but said she didn’t believe he could be involved in any violent or extremist activities.
“He doesn’t have a firearm. He doesn’t even go out. He doesn’t mix around with friends. He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t go to bad places … he goes to work, he comes home, he goes to exercise and that’s it,” she told this masthead.
“Anyone would wish to have a son like my son … he’s a good boy.”
Akram was looking for work after being laid off from his bricklaying job about two months ago, when the company he worked for became insolvent.
While he had many friends during his high school days at Cabramatta High School, he wasn’t particularly social, Verena said. She said he didn’t appear to spend a lot of time online. He loved fishing, scuba diving, swimming and exercising.
Akram appeared to be tagged in a 2022 social media post showing he had passed his Koran studies at Al-Murad Institute, which teaches Arabic and Koran studies in Heckenberg, also in western Sydney. The post has since been removed.
The man in the image, who this masthead has chosen not to identify in this story, said he had lost contact with Akram in early 2022.
“I am devastated by the images of the victims in Bondi,” he said.
The man said he and his family has been forced to leave their home after receiving death threats.
Akram’s mother is a stay-at-home parent, caring for her elderly mother nearby. Akram lived at the property with his parents and younger sister, 22, and brother, 20. The three-bedroom property was bought in 2024. The family previously lived in Cabramatta.

When are delusional Pollyanna’s going to stop combining the words “radical” and “Islam”? This is standard, orthodox, normal Islam as it has been taught and practiced unchanged for 1400 years and between 250 AND 1000 MILLION DEAD PEOPLE.
Brian Ozzy says
It’s confusing isn’t it. For 1400 years the same violent MO, the stealing of 22 countries to make Arab countries; the insidious worming of the foul islamic faith into 56 countries altogether (yet the hypocritical SOB’s rant and rave that Israelis stole their tiny country) and our moronic, so called leaders, still refuse to see it. They are all sycophants for some reason or other (votes probably) to the islamic death cult which has waged never ending war against us.

Brian Ozzy,
💯%. From before the U.S. even existed and before the modern State of Israel, Islam declared “holy” war in Infidels.
John says
Correct. Should read as “devout “ not radical.

So true, Frank.
Islam is bad says
Would Akram’s mother be best described as engaging in
Taqiyya, Tawriya, or Kitman?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
No, as Robert explained above, it’s the islamic definition of the term “good”. It’s very Orwellian: people who engage in jihad are good, and those that don’t, are bad
Billy says
What does Allah say in the Quran? True believers perform jihad with their money and with their lives. Allah favors believers(Muslims) who perform jihad above other believers(Muslims). Qur’an 4:95 says, “Those believers who stay other than those who are substantially injured are not equal to those who perform jihad for the sake of Allah with their money and their lives…“

Yep–Jihad terrorists mass murdering innocent Infidels are “good”–as Islam sees it.
Michael says
“He a good boi, yo’ onnuh, he dindu nuffin.”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I’m assuming that by “Akram’s mom” in the article, they’re talking about Naveed’s mom, not Sajid’s. In other words, both hubby & son were jihadists. In which case, what she says makes total sense. It’s good that she’s widowed: her son should be executed as well
One correction to something I had previously said about him being from Pakistan. According to OpIndia, his father, who was killed, was from Hyderabad – the Indian one, not the Paki one. His father had Indian citizenship, but Naveed doesn’t. However, if Australia decides to deport Naveed, please send him to Pakistan, not India, even though Naveed is a citizen of neither country

Yep–three generations of “good” Muslims…
somehistory says
When questioning, the perp’s family members should be asked if the son/daughter was willing to please their ‘god’ rather than questions about whether he would murder someone. Because they don’t consider shooting innocent victims, stabbing innocent people whether one or a massive number, to be a *bad* thing. They don’t look at it as murder.
Isaiah wrote long, long ago (but it still stands as Truth) “Woe to those putting evil for good, bitter for sweet and, darkness for light.”
Her not-so-good “boy” should be hanged by his ugly neck. Probably won’t happen, but he should get whatever Australia dishes out for the worst crimes.
Falsafa says
why don’t you mention the Syrian Muslim Grocer who heroically disarmed one of the attackers saving lives instead of this nonsensical tirade of misinformation and vilification of all thing Muslim? Guess not. wouldn’t suit your colonial settler zionist agenda…
somehistory says
He took away an empty gun. Big deal.
The hero was the man throwing bricks, at the shooters and died, and the hero was the man who was a shield for his wife, and the hero was a mom protecting her child, and the hero was the man, and the woman who were shot dead while helping another victim.
And no one here….no one who knows just how evil the actions of the shooters… would want a ‘son like him.’
You are wasting your time here.
You write a lot of words, but you have zero understanding of those words.

Yes, the brave and principled Ahmed al-Ahmed was better than his creed. Of course. there would have been no reason for him to have had to act save for other Muslims acting in the name of Islam mass murdering Jews.
The idea that opposing this savagery is “colonial settler zionist agenda” is grotesque.
Brian Ozzy says
All things Muslim, as you put it, are ordained from the disgusting hate filled koran and hadiths which is what motivates some two billion Muslims, so I’m afraid that warrants the vilification of islam, rather than Muslims, of which naturally there are many good and brave ones. However if they don’t follow islam’s demand to kill the non-believer wherever they find them then they are considered apostates, and as with most things in islam that requires a death sentence.
Winston 101 says
Falsafa,
Because his action is such an anomaly, it is so rare, it amounts statistically to 0. Zero. His action also goes against the teachings of Mohammad and Islam. So, at best, he was acting in spite of being Muslim.
A Muslim protecting Infidels from other Jihadi Muslims? During a Jihad acton? That doesn’t agree with Islam’s “holy” books.
While the actions of the Einsatzgruppen Muslims doing the shooting are
exceedingly common and conform to the teachings of Mohammad and Islam.

Here’s how pious Muslims regard a Muslim who defended against Jihadists:
“‘Palestinians’ furious at Muslim who tackled Bondi Beach jihadi, call him a ‘traitor’”
https://jihadwatch.org/2025/12/palestinians-furious-at-muslim-who-tackled-bondi-beach-jihadi-call-him-a-traitor
Does “Falsafa” have a problem with this? I doubt it…
