Thread: Hostages held in siege in Martin Place, Sydney in lockdown

I've said it before and I,ll say it again. What kind of fucked up religion makes it's devotees wake up at sparrows fart by blaring all that shite from loud speakers pointed every which way, (note to self). Check for mosques in the vicinity if wanting to get on the piss and have a sleep in next time I go to indo

No mosques allowed in Japan.

Great move that one, Problem stopped at the source.

I think you will find there are

About 60 or so of them.

Could the Oz cops be accused of "cruel and unusual punishment" of a suspect by not letting this jihadist sleep tonight?

^^

Erm Ok, don't know where I received that info then.

Not a bad Idea though is it. Just ban the religion full stop.

Russia's banned publication of many Islamic books including one edition of the Koran.

Mosques are banned in Crimea, now, and Islam in general isn't allowed to flourish in Russia,....along with lots of other things like freedom of expression,....but, at least them Ruskis aren't being biased.

^Perfect......

^^ Same stuff as you heard, Willy

Gonna be a longish night.

Could be interesting watching the end game.

LIVE: Police have authorised the naming of Sheik Man Haron Monis, who is a self-styled preacher of Islamic State on bail for accessory to murder, as the gunman who is holding 15 terrified hostages in Sydney’s Lindt cafe.
Hundreds of heavily-armed police continue to hold an intense security cordon around the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place and central Sydney remains in lockdown as negotiators try to secure the safe release of hostages caught in a siege.
Five hostages emerged from the central Sydney cafe yetserday.
They are being held by Monis who has forced them to display an Islamic flag, which has sparked fears of a terrorist attack.
Plainclothes detectives have arrived at the scene to support fellow officers at Martin Place.


Martin Place cafe: Five hostages escape, terrorist siege still active

I'd like to know if he has taken a break from his hostage taking in order to pray. Serious question. One would think a devout Muslim would stop to pray. One might also suspect that there's more than one hostage taker there - so they can take it in turns to pray. Of course, the flag he's showing might just be a decoy or red herring in order to get more attention for his cause, whatever that turns out to be. It might be nothing to do with religion. Just a thought.

A SELF-styled Muslim cleric accused of sending offensive letters to the families of slain Australian soldiers has lost a High Court bid to have the charges against him quashed.

Man Haron Monis, also known as Sheik Haron, was charged in 2011 with 12 counts of using a postal service in a way that a reasonable person would consider menacing, harassing or offensive.

He allegedly sent letters - and in one case a recorded message - to the relatives of several diggers killed in action in Afghanistan and the mother of an Austrade official killed in the bombing of a hotel in Indonesia. His co-accused, Amirah Droudis faces eight counts of aiding an abetting Mr Monis.

A SELF-styled sheikh who sent offensive letters to the families of dead Australian soldiers has faced court in connection to the murder of a woman.

Man Haron Monis, 49, fronted Burwood Local Court charged with being an accessory before and after the fact to the murder of a woman allegedly stabbed and set alight in a western Sydney stairwell earlier this year.

Mr Monis, also known as Sheikh Haron, was arrested along with a woman who earlier today was charged with murder.

Dressed in black tracksuit pants and with a beard, Mr Monis didn't apply for bail and it was formally refused by Magistrate Christopher Longley.

Emergency workers found the woman's body in the Werrington apartment block on April 21 after responding to a fire.

The 30-year-old had allegedly been stabbed multiple times and set alight.

Police say the three people knew each other.

Amirah Droudis, who is believed to be the partner of Mr Monis, was charged with murdering Noleen Hayson Pal.

He seems to be well known to police. Video footage of him talking to cameras outside his previous trial is showing on ABC. 40 sex charges and accessory to murder of his wife..

Hopefully he can be talked round (and then shot).

The twat's a total crim nutter,....a psychopath.

Latest from the BBC 14:52 GMT;

Sydney cafe siege updates - BBC News

An Iranian apparently currently on bail.

Live TV footage on ABC now of more hostages coming out of the cafe.

Hopefully the nutjob he has fallen asleep at the trigger.

Looking at this nutters history I fear this is going to end badly. Doubt he is a lone wolf. Must be others involved.

Its all going off now. Gunfire bigstyle.

Police storm the cafe and bringing out more hostages.
