[QUOTE=Subby;46713941]Why does it matter what fucking "flag" it is, Islam is Islam, the book of islam is a violent book, if you're islamic, you believe in a violent book. [U]This goes for all religions with violent passages.[/U][/QUOTE] Jesus christ why do people come into threads just to throw shit. Can we focus on what's actually happening instead of your own personal opinions about religion?
Oh great, everyone now wants Mosque destroyed and Islamic people sent home. This is doing nothing but fueling the ever greater Islamophobia and xenophobia this country has.
There were raids in beecroft - which is north Sydney, early today, but I haven't heard anything about Lakemba
[QUOTE=FlandersNed;46713990]Ok, NOW 7 is showing live police movements. That's not such a good idea...[/QUOTE] ABC news has the special response unit just waiting for authorisation
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46714004]Oh great, everyone now wants Mosque destroyed and Islamic people sent home. This is doing nothing but fueling the ever greater Islamophobia and xenophobia this country has.[/QUOTE] Too fucking right, this is going to be terrible

now there's some randoms being spoken to - why would they know any more than the media lol I live about 5 minutes from the siege area, but I probably won't go down there seems like it'd just be inconvenient for the police for spectators to show up
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46714004]Oh great, everyone now wants Mosque destroyed and Islamic people sent home. This is doing nothing but fueling the ever greater Islamophobia and xenophobia this country has.[/QUOTE] Cronulla 2: muslamic boogaloo?

[U]This goes for all religions with violent passages.[/U][/QUOTE] The muslims I've had contact with have been way nicer than anyone else. The Quran is just as violent as the Bible and both of which have no causation of violence of everyone who has faith in said relations. Take your stupid claims and get out of here.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;46713991]I hope police snipers can defuse the situation quickly and cleanly.[/QUOTE] Nothing any police marksman can do anything about. He's 20 feet within the store behind glass which also has his hostages pressed up against it. The round would possibly deflect too much from hitting the glass to reliably hit a target 20 feet behind it. Now if they get him up against the window or outside, that's another matter
[QUOTE=Bentham;46714003]Jesus christ why do people come into threads just to throw shit.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46714004]Oh great, everyone now wants Mosque destroyed and Islamic people sent home. [/QUOTE] You sound like that's a bad thing.
[QUOTE=RoboChimp2;46713836]Of course we do. [IMG]http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/sniper_holdontoyourhead.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] this isn't the time for video game references
[QUOTE=Adarrek;46714044]You sound like that's a bad thing.[/QUOTE] haha yea we should get rid of the blackies too haha not racist or anything they're all violent haha
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46714045]this isn't the time for video game references[/QUOTE] when is it ever an appropriate time for shitty videogame references.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;46714047]haha yea we should get rid of the blackies too haha not racist or anything they're all violent haha[/QUOTE] Who said anything about black people?
[QUOTE=Adarrek;46714052]Who said anything about black people?[/QUOTE] Shouldn't be too big a stretch for a xenophobe like you.
[QUOTE=FlandersNed;46713990]Ok, NOW 7 is showing live police movements. That's not such a good idea...[/QUOTE] Seriously, why would any network do that after the Munich Massacre. It's stupid and only helps the terrorists.
[QUOTE=Subby;46713974]That does not negate the violent literature.[/QUOTE] the only Qur'an excerpt i know is 3:191 - and whoever saves a life, it will be as though he saved the lives of all people this hardly sounds like violent literature. All religions have nutjobs. Branch Davidians. ISIS. Westboro Baptist Church, the RSS. Hell, even Dawkins has some pretty extreme views. Not like he's lopping off people's heads or anything, at least not literally. You need to recognize when people commit atrocities in a religious group it is still the individual committing the atrocity, not the religion as a whole. edit - whoops, that's 5:32 my bad
[QUOTE=Svinnik;46714057]Seriously, why would any network do that after the Munich Massacre. It's stupid and only helps the terrorists.[/QUOTE] Because it sells. The Munich incident was a complete mess anyway, I could go on all day about West Germany fucking that up beyond belief but this isn't the time
My guess is this idiot thought Lindt was Max Brenner. I can't work out why someone would take over a chocolate shop.
[QUOTE=Adarrek;46714052]Who said anything about black people?[/QUOTE] haha hey man just saying all black people are violent and evil people just like all muslims are violent and evil haha, just saying we should burn down all their places of worship and ban their literature haha just saying not racist or anything haha
[QUOTE=DogGunn;46714075]My guess is this idiot thought Lindt was Max Brenner. I can't work out why someone would take over a chocolate shop.[/QUOTE] Solid building with narrow windows, opposite the street form a news station.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;46714075]My guess is this idiot thought Lindt was Max Brenner. I can't work out why someone would take over a chocolate shop.[/QUOTE] Likely because it's across the road from 7 news and they want the publicity.

Police are reported to be responding to a situation at the Opera House as well now. Unknown if it's related, though
[QUOTE=Damoman;46714081]Solid building with narrow windows, opposite the street form a news station.[/QUOTE] Doubt it. They'd get attention regardless of wherever it is.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;46714075]My guess is this idiot thought Lindt was Max Brenner. I can't work out why someone would take over a chocolate shop.[/QUOTE] Apparently the hostage takers were witnessed by police on the way to potentially a different location (apparently a US consulate or something like that was only a few hundred metres away, as well as a major bank), and so they bolted for the first place they could find. Another theory was that because Lindt gave the finger to halal-certification recently. But that's all just petty speculation.
