oh look, an "islamic" terrorist threat, how unusual!
-
During my whole day in school, nothing was changed although there was a LOT more people coming back from work early in the 3PM Peak.

Its a serious question, how come when a non-muslim does a crime he is called a criminal but when a muslim does a crime he is called a terrorist, extremist and what not. Not that i support their actions, i just wonder why.

Because of racism.
-
Because terrorist demanded hostiges display an ISIS flags supporting terrorism? Look abit above your own stereotypes sirs.
-
Yep, it's also big news in the Netherlands.

What nuanced.

The word terrorist has a definition. That's why this man can be called a terrorist, not because he's a muslim.

Enough lying

A few definitions of the word above. There's no doubt what this man's intention is. It's a terrorist act.
It has nothting to do whether they are muslims or christians. Ku Klux Klan is classified as a notorious terrorist organization as well. I am not sure how active they are nowadays though.

Enough lying
What is the truth in your eyes?
-
these pictures aren't prove
he is a
Muslim
-
Aight thanks for clearing up a bit.
-
these pictures aren't prove
he is a
Muslim
No, but he demands an Islamic state flag in case you missed that part. It could show where he has his sympathies.

we don't know who put this flag
are we?
-
more act of terrorism... my condolences to the hostages whos going through a hard time
Israel attacks Gaza
dont change the topic.

It's not an Islamic State Flag that has been put up in the window that has gone around the world, it's a different message as translated it is "There is no God but Allah" and "Mohammed is the messenger of God". This is a statement of faith that is taken by Muslims. It's not an Islamic State flag.
Furthermore, his name has been confirmed as Man Haron Monis, who is an Iranian cleric who was held on criminal charges prior to the siege. Being held on apparently up to 40 (update: 26) charges of sexual assault and such.

I just watched it on majid channel

No, it's not. But he demands one to be delivered to him.

Actually where have you gotten this? The NSW Police haven't released ANY details regarding demands.

Update
Another 2 hostages have been released for a total of 5. Police have ordered media to not publish the demands of the Gunman.
It is currently 1:14AM in Sydney, the siege is expected to carry well on into tomorrow.
The flag is still in place:

That was a few hours ago.. rofl unknown if it's still there but I haven't seen any recent pictures. IIRC this was about 6 hours when the 5 people escaped/released.

According to Netword ten's reported Matt Doran. He claimed he was in contact with two of the hostages just like Ben Fordham on Sydney's 2GB radio station. I can't say if it's trusthworthy or not. The press in Sweden took that source for granted. Even SVT, the government funded media. But recently added that it has not been confirmed by the aus police.
I apologize if my conclusion was too drastic. Let's just hope everybody gets out safe.

I don't like channel Ten, Nine or Seven's coverage since they tend to "jump" to conclusions. That's why I prefer ABC, anyhow. 2GB is just a conservative radio station that has no morales. So anyhow, no problems.
Apparently 6th hostage and more (?) got released or escaped.
-
NSW Police Tactical Team just went in, guns blazing. A LOT of gun fire, bomb squad & paramedics is moving in. Will update.
2 Injuries so far (apparently, can not confirmed but 2 people were on stretchers).. there may be more, 4 stretchers were brought in. Unknown if hostage taker has been taken into custody/killed or what not.
Bomb Defusal Robot on standby, I can't see much from the camera angles.

-
but what if terrorist is not Islam?????
maybe dressed up guy trying to start a conflict
has timon gone too far???
rip timon kill by illuminati
-
You never hear of any Christian extremists, but always about Islamic. Bullshit propaganda.
-
Indeed , Mr.Goobi and Timon
-
That shoud ends, Its bis news
-
Two people were reported dead on the scene just recently.
Straya'.
-
2 hostages confirmed dead, as well as the gunman.
-
We, the Muslims, are not "terrorists" as it looks like. Some people who say they are Muslims such as ISIS, don't obey the rules of Islam (killing is forbidden in Islam)... I condemn them.
-
It's all over now. They're showing the gunfights on the local news and the ambulances caring for any injuries.
-
Terrorism is the act of attempting to terrorize an area of group of people. It's not specific by definition to race, color, ethnicity, gender, religious beliefs, place of birth.
Failure to keep a bulshit free thread. Locked.
