"The truth remains that anti-Semitism and Islamophobia have spiked in recent years and have been used by white supremacists and neo-Nazis, including the Trump Administration, to promote conspiracies of ;white genocide' and 'the replacement theory,' which have radicalized individuals to commit violence."

“'When he saw people dying and their families being shot, he couldn’t bear to see people dying,' [Al-Ahmed's cousin Jozay] said.

'It was a humanitarian act, more than anything else. It was a matter of conscience … He’s very proud that he saved even one life.'"
