Wouldn't the extremists just lie and say they weren't Muslim? Or would you just refuse people from Muslim nations, which would possibly put the innocents that want out in harm's way?

Even if Islam experienced the reform it desperately needs, I don't think this would stop with the Middle East's condition being what it is.

Indeed they would lie, Taqiyya permits Muslims to lie about their beliefs to non-Muslims as a form of deception.

Now's probably a good time to share this:

Did I just hear that there's only 1 suspect inside? Holding dozens of hostages?

Can we move all "Muslims are terrorists" discussion elsewhere? It's stupid and this is not the place to have it.

I think a strong case can be made for the Bali bombings to be considered a terror attack on Australia/ns.

Officials say they haven't even made contact yet, which is really weird, and is a strong sign this person is not a professional/significantly trained.

^ A jihadi with nothing to lose isn't going to negotiate.

I'd say he's a lone wolf inspired by ISIS or some other whackjob cleric from Iraq.

This event seems staged to me. A single armed man carrying a blue bag takes hostages in a chocolate shop in Sydney CBD nearby one of the biggest media offices in the country (channel 7 building) and the US consulate building. He has harmed no one as of yet. He ordered one of the hostages to hold up a flag with islamic writing to a window. He seems to walk around comfortably in plain view of the window, with a big scary beard and wearing a bandanna, without any fear of retaliation from sniper units.

4 hours after onset of this incident, the NSW police have evacuated the surrounding area of the sydney CBD. The comissioner was just on TV saying he hpoes for a peaceful resolution to this conflict, even though they have yet to make direct contact with the armed man. WTF? 4 hours on and you haven't contacted the single man responsible for a hostage situation?

The big media channels keep talking about islamic state even though hours ago it was confirmed that the flag was not an islamic state flag.

Al-Nusra, and other components of AQ use the flag. ISIS did use the flag earlier before it reformed and became what it is under Baghdadi.

This episode does scream lone wolf nutjob. But the unusual actions of the police and the suspect do raise some questions.

According to an ABC producer the imam was an "unnamed islamic educator" who offered his services to police, whatever that means. I haven't seen anything over here saying he actually went inside, but idk.

ABC live updates have a lot of collated tweets and random info that might be worth a flick through.

It does seem weird that the guy can walk around in plain view in a place where there are buildings/windows you could put snipers in. I guess you don't really want to shoot him if there might be more guys inside who would take it out on the hostages.

Again the backpack. They don't know what is in that bag if he does still have it on him. If it's explosives they shoot him does it explode when it hits the ground or lets go of a trigger, etc.
