Hostages held at Syndey Lindt Cafe

Once you take away the rights of another person to go about their daily lives, you lose all your rights. This ass has no rights, stop pissing around with him and send a very clear message we don't accept this crap in our free land. This is Australia, if you don't like the way we live here you are welcome to leave.

Quick to judge Macca. How do we know the person responsible isn’t a mentally ill spotty teenager born in Sydney. Of course the situation needs to be dealt with but I’m just making the point that there are a lot of assumptions made in your words, presumably because of a flag. It may turn out that the offender is indeed an islamic extremist, but when folk respond as you have it just feeds the monster. Irish advises ‘wait until we know’. I consider that to be excellent advice, particularly from someone who grew up in a place ripped apart by terrorism. I would add “Whatever the facts turn out to be don’t be tempted to turn against the innocent, even if they are different to us or wear different clothes”.

I don’t think you get what I was saying. Somewhere in the world there will be people (generous description) rubbing their hands with glee because someone believes in their poisonous proclamations. Why? Because the believers actions feeds into the western fear & loathing of Islam, it gives their enemies reason to point the finger, without enemies they are nothing. By encouraging us to become their enemy they are calling the shots. Folk will have their own beliefs but for my part I have no intention of allowing anyone to push me around regardless of their belief system or religion. I refuse to make blind anti islamic statements just because I am upset about the actions of a few whether they be terrorists or madmen, or both. What is happening in Sydney is plain wrong, it understandably angers & upsets others as well as me, but some of the responses show similar mindsets to those they condemn. People are people throughout the world...... please let’s not let this or any similar incident become a reason for justifying hatred & stereotyping whole religions, countries, or races.

I may be wasting my breath & you may not agree with me but I am prone to saying what I think, particularly to friends. We are all in agreement that what is going on is awful & should not be happening, I’m just trying to make the point that some ways of viewing it result in greater likelihood of these sort of things snowballing. We don’t want martyrs, & we need to remember that violence begets violence. Who started it is of little consequence once deaths have occurred.

No one waste there breath when speaking there opinion cuppa and in some ways I agree with what you are saying but when it gets to this point enough is enough, terrorist or hostage take over this guy needs some lead poisoning to the head.

These people you are referring to will always be around and if not them someone else will step up, they will choose there foes based on there beliefs regardless of anyones opinion of them.

I hope you are right Irish and this is just some isolated fark head as I hate to think of this type of sh!t in our country

Whether he be alive or dead after this ordeal he will still probably proclaim victory. Sad really.

Just read an update that they believe suicide vests / belts may now be involved.

I think is only the beginning of more worse things to come unfortunately.
