I don't understand why with all the armed officers you can clearly see that they haven't been taken out by a sniper as yet. The footage I'm watching you can see both terrorists walking fairly close to the windows. Why are they trying to negotiate you can't with these people, get snipers in shoot them and get the innocent people out befor they get hurt or it ends badley. Counties are far too soft with people like this.

Thanks for your input.

What level of collateral damage would you, in England, deem the Australian government justify to their populace, or to me who may possibly have a family member held there is acceptable?

Snipers are very well trained and would not take the shot if their was a risk of collateral damage. Having said that tho these terrorists only have one aim and that is to kill westerners, the hostages are likely to die at their hands so it's worth the risk to make an attempt to take them out. Look at the mearsk hostage situation with capt philips, 3 pirates were taken out simultaneously by 3 snipers from the back of a moving ship. It is possible.

Snipers have not responded probably due to the fact that at least one suspious parcel has been found.

How many more have NOT been found?

Whatever the reason though, which we may never find out is good enough for me. They are in that position and thank god for their professionalism.

"Does this have anything to do with Sydney University?

Grow up & piss off!

That was a legitimate question. My younger sister is a student there.

You are being a snide and facetious fool as you have obviously read the thread and despite people having concerns for their family threw in a Sydney University comment, which is a term of ridicule on here.

Do you actually think anyone believes a word you say?...green arrow by your name will show up.

I have no more to say to you as you are highly offensive despite claiming to be innocent.

Blocked. "

Having read his comments on other threads I've no reason not to believe him. It seems quite plausible to me. You can't bann the phrase 'Sydney University' from the forums, especially when the subject matter is actually about Sydney.

Has anyone actually banned or asked to ban Sydney Uni?, shame the timeline does not show in minutes ( after 1 hour) or the other persons replies would always show 4 or 5 minutes after mine.

Please do read the thread about my 6 members of family in Sydney, which I beliive show about 2 hours above the other persons. Enough said!

Another reason the snipers may not have taken shots is because shooting through glass is a last resort option only. Sounds crazy but when a high velocity round strikes glass a few things take place. 1) the glass shatters causing injuries to anyone nearby. 2) the bullet "spalls" which means it changes direction and spins wildly and the chance of hitting your intended target is greatly reduced. 3) the bullet has a high chance of breaking up this also means the risk of collateral damage is increased and there's less chance of hitting your intended target.

Oh right I didn't know these facts, you learn something new everyday thank you.

As for the guy being aggressive and rude it's good your family are not involved but please think about those families who are indeed involved. I asked a question as to why snipers hadn't done something. I don't think my question deserved such a vile response from you?. Terrorists of what ever form need to be stopped as another poster pointed out there aim is it get as much publicity as possible and kill westerners this is not acceptable. You might not like what I've said however having had a friend killed this year in a terrorist attack my _iews are also very strong. They need stopping with little or no harm to those innocent people that have been involved.

I think we should clear up the blocked rule.

It is a rule for people trying to contact people when they are blocked. IE why have you blocked me, unblock me,can tell me why I am blocked etc.

Blocking someone doesn't mean that person cant answer peoples posts. they can join in like everyone.

I can see why you were wound up, but maybe log off if people are annoying you so much, as the forum summary suggests.

Containment and negotiation is the way forwards, its guaranteed the big boys will be waiting around the corner just in case though.

It's not just about containment and be git into, there's many factors to consider.

If you take a critical shot it's not guaranteed to incapacitate a subject. If that happens any coordinated intervention by assault can go horribly wrong for hostages and the intervention.

As already mentioned, Spalding can kill those within when a high velocity round penetrates glass which even with modern purpose made rounds, can deflect.

The hostage taker was apparently agitated when people escaped and tension will be high. Any assault no matter who it's by, is very likely to lead to the death of innocents so it's a last resort.

Joe public can sit and criticise all they like, but trained experts are no doubt looking at every resolution. ..hopefully without bloodshed.

Until authorities can confirm there isn't a "3rd eye" or pressure release explosive then they will contain and negotiate for as long as they possibly can. It is the safest and most sensible option.

It is easy for us to sit and talk tactics and what we think should be done but at the end of the day, the buck doesn't stop with us.

All I can do is pray that this will be resolved, peacefully and quickly and I'm taking comfort from knowing that no hostages have been hurt as yet.

I've just read the news updates, they know who the guy is who is holding the hostages, he was already known to the police and they have said they are confident a peaceful outcome can be reached. If he was a bonifide IS type he would have just gone in guns blazing to take out as many people as he could before being taken out himself by the police. This guy obviously isn't intent on doing that otherwise he would have done it by now. Also he can't be very good at what he's doing as several hostages have escaped and others are making phone calls to family and even news desks. Hopefully all the hostages will walk away, maybe with a complimentary Lindt reindeer for their trouble.

As for the guy ranting about his 6 family members possibly being involved then surely he's far too busy intently watching the news and making phone calls to those family members to be having petty arguments on a swingers forum, just a thought.

The use of force ie snipers are only a last ditch weapon, at the moment it is more a waiting game and try to negotiate with the terrorists.

The terrorists could have dead man's device on him, when dies he releases a grip on the trigger and boom. So not wise to shoot them.

Every time I hear about it, I keep on thinking about the Siege of Sidney St of 1911, when a group of terrorists (anarchists in the language of the day) holed up in Sidney St and had a shoot out with the Scots Guards. I sometimes wonder about how much the world has changed in 100 years.

"Every time I hear about it, I keep on thinking about the Siege of Sidney St of 1911, when a group of terrorists (anarchists in the language of the day) holed up in Sidney St and had a shoot out with the Scots Guards. I sometimes wonder about how much the world has changed in 100 years.

In terms of human behaviour? Not at all.

The only real change is the weapons "

Not really, he's armed with a shotgun, isn't he?

I've just read something rather wonderful on the news related to this. I'm really glad that a number of people have been able to distinguish between the acts of a minority and the majority:

Sydney cafe: Australians say to Muslims "I'll ride with you"

As a gunman holds people hostage in a cafe in Sydney, thousands of messages of support have been posted online for Muslims in Australia who are afraid of an Islamophobic backlash.

The spark was this post on Facebook by Rachael Jacobs, who said she'd seen a woman she presumed was Muslim silently removing her hijab while sitting next to her on the train: "I ran after her at the train station. I said 'put it back on. I'll walk with u'. She started to cry and hugged me for about a minute - then walked off alone'.

Unconfirmed.

Also saying those hostages needed CPR.

The guy is on bail and apparently has nothing to lose as he is going to prison for a long time - why's he on bail?

terrorist shot by police - to be confirmed.

He was a muslim cleric with a prison record and out on bail according to BBC.

Full picture still emerging, but seems likely an incident or worsening of the situation precipitated the assault, possible gunfire heard before they went in.

Almost certainly stun grenades, then gunfire and hostage escape.

I haven't a clue of his objectives, unlike a lot of Aussies, I've never heard of the guy before now - but I'd guess he has a radicalised Muslim issue with the west??????

By the way, was our objective in Iraq to find & destroy the wmd's that were 'evidently' there, by any chance?????

Probably that's the official line yes though I imagine there were far more complex and hidden reasons. But you mentioned one being called collateral and one being called terrorism and queried if they were different unless I'm mistaken? I don't think there's any comparison irrespective of the justness of any invasion.

Yes, I agree, there were most definitely hidden reasons, & the fact that there's something to hide from the public whom after all, payed for the war with their hard earned, sons & daughters, stinks of something vile to me, - not to mention the tens of thousands of innocent lives that were lost.

I don't think this particular case has anything to do with religion or ethnicity or Isis, just another deranged person with a gun looking for attention.

People who want to kill as many as possible on a rampage to make a point over an issue,rarely take hostages in coffee shops, these people tend more to be attention seekers which is why I think the police rightly tried talking to him first, of course you can never rely on these people being talked down because their deranged minds work differently to normal ones.

The guy was an Iranian refugee, autralia took him in and this is how he re-payed them. He also had a long record of criminal convictions from sexual assault to being associated with his wifes murder, and he "claimed" he was tortured whilst serving time in australian prison for those crimes.

"I don't think this particular case has anything to do with religion or ethnicity or Isis, just another deranged person with a gun looking for attention.

People who want to kill as many as possible on a rampage to make a point over an issue,rarely take hostages in coffee shops, these people tend more to be attention seekers which is why I think the police rightly tried talking to him first, of course you can never rely on these people being talked down because their deranged minds work differently to normal ones.

I think myou find the guy who committed this act, claimed to had been tortured "

theres is people who claim to be elvis Presley and jim Morrison but it doesn't mean its true..?

The woman that was killed was a mother of three.

Im not sure if the man who was killed had kids but he'd have family of some sort. He was the Cafe manager.

How awful.

"A disgusting, cowardly prick actually!

Disgusting radicalised prick maybe, - but cowardly????

I'd agree he was cowardly.

threatening innocent men and women having a coffee before work is hardly an act of bravery is it.

But knowing that you'll ultimately be killed is hardly cowardly, is it?Yes. how?

Death is an inevitability for us all, it's not scary it happens. Holding innocent men and women hostage at gunpoint is the act of a coward.

gee, if that's cowardly when you know it will ultimately cost your own life, then how would you describe someone who pushes a button to send a missile or bomb that causes mass carnage knowing you'll be walking away free?

We're not talking about that though are we.

As usual you're trying to steer a thread to meet your own anti-British anti-western agenda.....we all get it."

Why is it if someone kills people today in the name of christianity, like Anders Brievik; he is a nutcase for doing so, but if someone kills people in the name of Islam, they're a terrorist?

Surely anyone murdering anyone in the name of anything is a nutcase?

If you can take a religion that says 'love your neighbour' and 'thou shalt not kill' (as christianity does), and then use that religion to justify killing people, or take another religion that says very, very clearly in black and white 'all murderers go to hell, as do all people who commit suicide' and 'all jews and christians should be respected and tolerated because they worship the same God as us (as Islam does), and then use that same religion to justify suicide bombing christians and jews, it becomes clear that *any* belief can be twisted to justify heinous acts of this nature.

To wit: if I am a vegetarian, and I eat a hundred hamburgers and say I am doing it in the name of vegetarianism, then there obviously is a logical fallacy there because I am doing something that is diametrically opposed to vegetarianism. Go figure with stuff like

"

As they say; 'one guy's terrorist is another's freedom fighter'!.

But this chaps intention wasn't to fight anyone. I believe he had a problem with being tortured - I'd guess by western forces but in truth - I don't know anything about this guy.

It's always the innocent who pay the highest price, though!!

The guy was an Iranian refugee, autralia took him in and this is how he re-payed them. He also had a long record of criminal convictions from sexual assault to being associated with his wifes murder, and he "claimed" he was tortured whilst serving time in australian prison for those crimes. "

He claimed he was tortured, any excuse!

I think there are subtle differences.

Some have a pathological hatred and quite viably a mental illness and act on their prejudice, whilst a terrorist by definition is striking terror amongst people to persuade the implementation of a political cause. Subtle but they are different.

Very rarely do christians kill in the name of religeon. Islam is a way of life and no other way is acceptable to most. The men live in the dark ages and are causing harm all over the world.

Trust me it's nothing new. It's been going on in various guises for thousands of years.

Only difference is the media can show it to the masses and the weapons can make killing easier.

Guess you've never heard of the crusades ? Or the Bosnian war? Or indeed the many atrocities right here in Northern Ireland? All involved Christians murdering in the name of religion.

Tarring all Muslims with the "fundamentalist" stick is a sure way of encouraging attacks on innocent people or at least tacitly condoning them.

There might be isolated groups of Muslim men who are abusive to women but that's true of any religious background, but I think that's more that they are from the Middle East rather than the fact they are Muslims.

As regards women's stance in Islam:

I'm guessing you think all Muslim women wear the burqa or some other head covering (they don't)

I bet you think all Islamic law is unfair to women and they are trapped in arranged marriages (they don't, even if a marriage is arranged the woman does not have to marry a man she does not want to and shariah law allows a woman to get a divorce anytime she wants-which is something western women didn't get until the twentieth century)

I bet you think all Muslims come from the Middle East (they don't-I'm not for one)

And so on ad infinitum

Blaming the innocent ...That does not even make sense. If you wish to debate, at least explain your points rather than resorting to some straw man argument.

By deciding what someone is like solely through their religious (or otherwise) beliefs displays extreme ignorance.

It particularly makes no sense when you have Christians and Muslims (and Jews) fighting, when they all worship the same God (the Muslim Allah is the same god as the Christian Jehovah and the Jewish Yahweh.). Ethnic and nationalist differences are often the reason for these conflicts. Religion is just used as an excuse.

George bush and tony blair called their wars on muslims countries starting from Soudan, then Afganistan then Iraq "Crusades" which killed millions and the killing is just part of the damage those wars did and still do. They needed a boogie man to invade those countries and more and they made Benladen and Saddam as an excuse at the time. Its not a secret anymore that both those men are CIA assets. Now adays the boogie is ISIS. ISIS is recruiting easily youngsters with the help of the west financial miltarily and even Their wooded moujahidin are trwated in Israelian hospitals. With the help of government puppets like Saudi Arabia ect. The western media then blame it all in Islam which brings the feelongs of hatred deeper and recruiting easier. Makes eestern muslim citizens feel dissociated from the countries they once dreamed to be part of, believing in freedom of religion and speach and equality. Values that are claimed in the west but only applied when it suits the politicians. The real cause of all this mess is western greed and endless historical violence against the worlds nations to expand the empire.

I think to bring the action of the Crusades into this, actions committed more than half a millennium ago, and claim that is an example of current Christian behaviour is really nonsensical.

And if you really think the troubles in N.Ireland was a struggle between Catholics and Protestants then you've clearly not spent much time looking into it.

I think your comments about Christians are about as correct and helpful as some of the more ignorant comments made further up the thread about Muslims and Islam.

Which is a shame because your final point about not tarring all Muslims with the same brush is a good and correct one but unfortunately completely lost by your own hypocritical act of tarring all Christians with the same brush.
