The terrorist attack in Bondi on 14 December shocked all of Australia. The Muslim community and its leaders not only strongly condemned the attack but also expressed solidarity with the affected families and community. To gauge reactions to this tragic incident, we spoke with prominent Australian Muslims of South Asian background, including NSW former MLC and former Assistant President of the Legislative Council Shoaquet Musalmani, former Pakistani Consul General Mohammad Azam, Helping ACT founder and president Mohammad Ali, and Editor-in-Chief of Australian Muslim Times (AAMUST) Zia Ahmad.
Communities in Australia say the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach has shaken the nation and have urged Australians to respond with unity rather than division.
