MOD NOTE: You can feel however you want about religion or groups of people, for whatever reasons you choose. What you can’t do is come on to Boards and start spouting hate speeches, labelling all members of religions/ethnicities etc with negative stereotypes just because you can’t be arsed telling different people apart. This goes for implying all Muslims are foreign terrorist, all Catholics are paedophiles, all Atheist are antagonistic keyboard warriors, all mods aren’t extraordinarily good looking, or whatever your particular prejudice happens to be.

And before anyone decides to go on a rant about Boards having some liberal agenda/being fascist etc, please remember that:

1. You can be conservative and not racist
2. There’s a Feedback forum for your complaints.

In all honesty I wouldn't wish it on even my worse enemy even moreso when IS seem to be involved.

I hope ths people get out okay but in hearing who's involved am fearing the worse

I hope the hostages overpower their captors, then rip their spines out through their arseholes, especially if they have any affiliation to IS.

IS aren't involved, probably just some wannabes. Still though, hope nobody gets hurt.

What I'm thinking. The best course of action would be for the 20 hostages to stop the two gunmen

Suspect package found at the opera house

I am sick and tired of these muslim extremists using aggression and violence against liberal, tolerant societies that they have been allowed to live in.

Every news channel. Buses to the Sydney CBD are being diverted and the airspace over Sydney has been shut down.

Kristopherus

Beeb News & Sky News giving it full coverage.

Get the impression this may be bigger than the Lindt cafe which in itself is a very worrying situation.

Tugboats

Has Paul Gascoigne shown up yet?

That's why the Sydney Opera House was evacuated.

This is fcuking disgusting. These Islamic fundamentalists are a scourge on the human race but worryingly their numbers are growing. I feel absolutely helpless for the poor hostages given what we know about how IS operate. So terrifiying.:(

I know IS thrive out of this publicity and instilling terror into peoples homes through media. Should we really be looking at media blackouts in these type of situations? Nearly impossible with social media.

Sky News are taking a live feed from an Australian News station and they just reported it. Hopefully just bluster to spook the police.

Was worried when I first heard it because I've family that owns a cafe in Sydney.


It's horrible but I can't say I'm optimistic knowing it's apparently ISIS involved. Even if all the hostages survive, this will have lots of negative consequences but if all the hostages are executed it will cause chaos.


Fuk religion, man. Stupid fuking kunts.

AboutaWeekAgo

These scumbags better not blow up the Opera House.

Nib

Damn. Why is there no Lindt cafes in Ireland?

Poor old Aussies never harmed anyone.

The only negative consequences will be on the Muslim community.

Honey Monster

It's always the Muslims. Always. At what point do we have to stop being so politically correct? Probably given a better life in Australia than their home country and this is what they do. The people doing this are utter scum.

Muslim isn't a race. I'm sure there are many white Australian muslims as well.

I think the western world is coming to a breaking point with this religion, it is simply incompatible with a civilised society.

Yellowblackbird

Maybe one of the hostages is a cook. But he's not all that he seems.

This isnt religion, this is just twisted f*cking c*nts causing mayhem. Im sure those who are hostages also have their own faiths.

Yea, sure you'd never find an Irish person involved in terrorism.....

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

The last eye witness they spoke to on Sky News Colleen was a bit of a dick. Wonder was she made go on the phone, sounded like she didnt want to be talking to them at all...

Airspace over Sydney.

Channel 9 news reporting the captors want to speak to the Australian PM Tony Abbott live on air. They also showed hazy images of a lad with a black headscarf seen through the window.

I didn't say anything about them being a race?

Anyway, hardly a bunch of atheists inside the cafe threatening to slit people's throats, my point was that's it's always Muslims that do this sort of thing.

jank

Hopefully this ends well with the Australian SAS handing out a good beating to those idiots who took over the cafe.

The_Valeyard

may only be one gunman according to some police.

Do keep in mind this is the minority of the religion. There are over 1 billion Muslims worldwide.

With that said, these psychos in particular need to be taken out.

Snake Plisken

I await the usual Boards Muslim sympathisers to turn up and defend these so called minorities,

Hopefully in the sight of a sniper

Honey Monster

Surely there's an Irish person inside due to the sheer amount of Irish in Sydney.

Theres no denying it, its backwards as fook. A few hundred years behind western society. It is simply incompatible with how we live in the western world.

They should be dragged out in to the street and beaten to death on live TV.
