So we decided to watch the latest Frankenstein movie (from Guillermo del Toro) with my wife and after 40 minutes, we jointly decided to stop watching. It was just so... bland and uninteresting in all aspects (including the visuals). What happened to del Toro?
To be precise: Great wallpapers could be made from specific shots but once something moved, the magic was gone and it looked liked average videogame cutscene.
First identified Bondi shooter Pakistani-Australian man #Naveed_Akram, studied at the Salafist Al Murad Institute. Sectarian salafist disciples have been used by the US and the Israelis to attack Iraq, Syria, Iran and Hezbollah and resistance groups in Gaza.
Israel has publicly blamed Iran for the Bondi attack, but emerging details point in a different direction.
A 2022 Facebook post shows one of the attackers, Naveed Akram, studying Qur’anic recitation (tajwīd) under a Salafi teacher.
The photo provides several key clues:
1. The books behind him are clearly authored by major Salafi–Wahhabi scholars
You can see titles by Ibn Bāz, al-‘Uthaymīn, and other scholars associated with Saudi/Wahhabi Salafism, a sect that is openly hostile to Iran, Shia Islam, and the Iranian state.
2. His teacher is part of a Salafi institution
The instructor’s post praises Akram’s mastery of tajwīd according to classical Sunni methodologies commonly used in Salafi circles.
Taken together, the material points toward Sunni–Salafi ideological influence, NOT Iranian/Shia influence.
This doesn’t prove a motive, but it directly contradicts the claim that the attacker was acting on behalf of Iran, a state and religious tradition that Salafis typically view as heretical.
I draw, code, and make memes sometimes.
