Paradise Lost - Australia will never be the same.
Already 'Sheik' Man Haron Monis is being labelled as a lone rogue. This may be the case however ISIS has called for an International Jihadist against Western Countries in particular. This is now living evidence that this is happening.
Australia must reflect heavily on this tragedy and decide just how we are going to approach the Muslim problem and it is a hugely growing problem.
My heart goes out to the relatives to all who were involved in this siege and to the families of those who were brutally murdered.
The cops who went in, were incredibly brave, straight into the line of fire, God bless them all.
hear hear they would have been exhausted ....
well done boys...you made me proud...
lets hope when next Abbott wants a conference on security in this country... all those Muslim leaders who thought it singled out muslims so therefore was unacceptable may now come to the table...
this has done more harm to Muslims.. than putting real culprits in prison will ever do..... surely even they can see that...
this man by the look of his record should have been in jail...but because of the constant backlash we are afraid to do that....
....and that is what we in Australia, need to show understanding towards and not let this create more fear and backlash against a whole muslim community, and therein is where the Govt and laws in Australia, need to change, to rectify, since this lone wolf/nutter was known about, yet was allowed to walk among the rest of us, freely??? Why???
Sad news to wake up to, hearing of those innocents (presumably) caught in the crossfire and died.
My heart goes out to their families.
There may be a division in the way Australians think, some will have more fear and hatred towards the Muslims as a whole, and others will be more supportive.
I have decided to be more supportive, and after reading this below, this is what the pride of Australia is really about, and we can show the world we will not be dictated by fear.
