Looks like some craziness is going on in Australia right now. Stay safe Spike.

I'm in America and I've never been to Sydney. :ph34r: But yes, I hope those people who are in harm's way are safe sooner rather than later. Apparently a group of radical Islamic fundalmentalists have taken several people hostage in a Cafe in the Sydney CBD.

Didn't follow very closely, but didn't the police rush into this? Obviously always a difficult decision to make, but surely there must have been a better option than storming the place when there are still several civilians in danger?

Implying that our police have experience with this.

Mentally ill armed man taking hostages in a public place? Yes, the religious extremist factor is new, but surely they've dealt with something like this before, or at least trained for it. I think they got freaked out by the flag and made a decision they would not have otherwise made which means that the extremists group are achieving their goal of planting fear.

Of course, we don't know all the facts so it's all speculation.

Hostage situations are a new thing here. The last time we even had a mass shooting was in 1994.

On a side note, you really have to praise the amazing response of the Australians to the whole thing. The #illridewithyou was probably one of the most powerful hashtags of the year and has done more to combat extremism than all the coalition airstrikes.

Aye, shows the world that the majority of the country isn't the racist stereotype we are made out to be. Hopefully we never have to live through things like Cronulla and MacQuarie Fields again.

Make that 132 kids and overall 146 who people have lost their lives today while more then 120 people majority of them being children are injured. One of the darkest days in the history of Pakistan.

Smh....I don't know much about Pakistani politics, I know that it was a school that's related to the military, but still, what in the world do they imagine they would gain from this?!

Here's a nice little reminder from 1985 for people with short term memory:

This is their revenge for the military operation 'Zarb-e-Azb' conducted by the Pakistan army in Waziristan which killed hundreds of these sorry excuse for human beings.They literally shot kids from point blank range today,burned a teacher a alive infront of her students,they specifically asked students whether their parents were in the army and whoever said yes was shot instantly without a second's hesitation hell they even beheaded some of the students before shooting them.

Condolences from across the border. Is this the lowest these scum can go?

Thanks, the response we have gotten from across the border really has been heartwarming

I just need to say that this is very misleading.

From 1985 to now a lot of things has happened.

A good guy can turn bad, like a bad guy can turn good.

If they was once a peaceful organization, but went rogue what are you supposed to do?

Peaceful organization? :lol: Why do you think he was meeting with them? To give them weapons and funds to perform what would now be called 'terrorist' operations against the Soviet union. Of course, back then it was called resistance.

Same people, same organizations, same ideologies, same methods, different political alliances and interests.
