20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: How are you feeling the Bible because you know, there's

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: obviously a lot going on with social media at the moment.

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: What is it like to be you know, you represent

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: the Australians for Syria. Is are you noticing this racism

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: and stuff or is everybody being quite friendly? What's the situation.

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: To be honest with you. When everyone was watching the

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: news in the beginning, we were very worried that as

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: usual now as Muslims will be accused of being terrorists

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: and that we did this and we did that. But

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: later on when we found out that the brave man

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: who rushed to help was a Muslim Syrian, we we

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: are a lot calmed and feel happy that thankfully, I mean,

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: he saved all of us, not only the people who

33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: were in Bondai Beach.

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: You think he saved all Arabs in Australia, not.

35
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: Only Arabs, all Muslims all over the world. Because yes,

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: and actually for me, he saved every peaceful human being.

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: Because usually we are accused while in a city that

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: has multiculture and people. Yesterday on Bondai Beach there were

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: people from different cultures, different religions, different cultures. But who

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: was the one who rushed to help, who endangered himself?

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: He was the Muslim one right, so he proved that

42
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: we are not terrorists.

43
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Lubaba, I appreciate you being with me tonight. Thank you

44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,280
