It's just a way for people to convince themselves and others, that they are not racist.

That being said, it is a good incentive in bringing people together, and its working, which I think is what we need right now after whats happened.

but just want to reaffirm how "tolerant" they are.

Yep, so much white guilt going around atm.



It's a disservice to the two victims and the wounded involved - people don't care about those who have died, but just want to reaffirm how "tolerant" they are.

My feed has been pretty good, mostly just #illridewithyou stuff. One argument similar to what SocaWho tried in this thread.

Yes, because what we need more of now is intolerance.

People were rightly concerned that there would be reprisal attacks on innocent muslims particularly on public transport and responded in a good way. This wasn't white guilt.

Remember Cronulla?

White guilt was the idiots who said that it wouldn't be called a terrorist attack if the guy was holding a bible. That's white guilt.

There were plenty of hashtags about #prayforhostages etc.

Is this bitch for real??

Al Jizzera flooded with comments of support and gratitude in the way that it was reported. Fucking top job Straya.

Is this bitch for real??

We are absolutely devastated to learn of the tragic end to the hostage incident in Sydney.

We extend our greatest sympathies and thoughts to all those affected by this incredible tragedy.

To the victims, their families and friends, police and health workers, and to anyone around the nation watching at home impacted by this morning’s tragic events our hearts go out to you.

It is critical that the nation comes together today.

We should comfort one another and open our arms in warm embrace to all peace-loving people regardless of faith, race or nationality.

We commend the courage and professionalism of the police and other emergency services involved.

Wow, why would anyone believe a screenshot that has more grains then a loaf of bread ffs.

It's fake. The only people who fell for it clearly wanted to.

Just went to her real FB and found this post, the one you posted was clearly shopped.

Don't mean shit to the victims though. You got you're priorities wrong as usual.:roll:

More concerned with the way it was reported than the actual tragedy. Nice one.

Opinion: Why does Islam beget violence?
ANDREW BOLT THE COURIER-MAIL DECEMBER 17, 2014 12:00AM

MAN Haron Monis couldn’t have done more to make the deaf hear that the terror he unleashed in Sydney was in the name of Islam.

As he walked into the Lindt Chocolate Cafe with his shotgun on Monday he wore a headband bearing the war cry: “We are ready to sacrifice for you, O Muhammad.”

The Iranian-born cleric had already fought for Islam by sending jeering letters to the families of Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

On his Facebook page he’d posted jihadist porn and pledged his allegiance to the bloody caliphate of ISIS.

And in that coffee shop on Monday he conscripted his terrified hostages at gunpoint into his personal jihad.

He ordered some to hold up against the window a black Shahada flag announcing: “There is no God but Allah; Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah.”

He made videos of three of them reciting his demands, which included ordering police to fetch him an ISIS flag, and broadcast this explanation: “This is an attack on Australia by Islamic State.”

Then he killed two captives.

I don’t know how much more explicit Monis could have been. And I don’t know how more wilfully deaf some people can be.

“Cops still baffled by gunman’s motivations,” AAP reported yesterday.

The Age, in one long online news report on the terror attack, avoided any use of the words “Islam” or “Muslim”.

ABC reporters and commentators, especially on Radio National, babbled how this unfortunate episode had nothing to do with Islam, given Monis was clearly crazy.

Islamic groups claimed nothing in their faith licensed this ghastly attack and Monis’s former lawyer, Manny Conditsis, summed up this deep evasion in an interview with the ABC: “Yes, he said he was of the Islam faith but he could have been any other damaged individual that did what he did.”

Except, of course, we rarely get damaged individuals killing people in chocolate shops in the name of Buddha. We don’t get damaged individuals beheading a British soldier in the name of Christ.

We didn’t get damaged individuals shooting a Canadian soldier guarding Canada’s cenotaph, or plotting bombings of our MCG, or trying to blow up jets with the explosives in their shoes or their underwear in the name of any faith other than Islam.

True, Monis seemed crazy. True, crazy people of all kinds kill and do not need a faith to make them pull a trigger – as we saw at Port Arthur.

Yet are the apologists really trying to dismiss the faith of Monis as just a coincidence?

Must we always feign this surprise when a terrorist is found to be – gasp – Muslim? Surely we can drop this absurd game given 21 of the 21 people jailed for terrorism offences here in the past couple of decades were all Muslim, as are 19 of the 20 proscribed terrorist groups in Australia.

Surely we’re entitled to conclude something specific to Islam seems to license violence, given we have just as many Buddhists here as Muslims, yet not one Buddhist has killed here for his faith.

Yes, Monis was not a rational man, which I suspect is true of so many other notorious Islamist killers.

The question is: What would Christianity have inspired Monis to do? Preach Armageddon at some street corner? Now ask what Islam, as interpreted by a minority of extremists, whispered in Monis’s ear.

Whisper? It shouted. As Monis’s lawyer conceded yesterday: “His ideology is just so strong and so powerful that it clouds his vision for common sense and objectiveness.”

The ideology Monis followed was inspired in large part by Islamic scriptures that urge believers to “kill the polytheists wherever you find them” and exhorts “so when you meet those who disbelieve (in battle), strike (their) necks”.

We’re told, as always, that those who take seriously such passages in the Koran and Hadith are a tiny, unrepresentative minority.

But wait. The Sydney Morning Herald reports Monis had more than 14,000 “likes” on Facebook and a Muslim community leader asked by counterterrorism authorities to find the ISIS flag Monis demanded said: “I found plenty of people who had one, but they didn’t want to give them up.”

So why this denial about Islam – and specifically about its role in this attack?

For the authorities it is about public order. They fear reprisals against Muslims and also do not wish to alienate the overwhelming majority of peaceful Muslims here whose help they need against radicals.

For the Left more generally, to admit the latent threat in Islam would be to question disastrous Leftist programs that have left this country more exposed to political violence – particularly our too-lax immigration programs, multiculturalism and the much-rorted “refugee” programs that let in Monis in 1996. It is also to seem unkind.

But the denial, the racism of the anti-racists, it all must end.

The elements are shocking, true. But Islam contains a strong streak of violence and intolerance of other creeds. Mass immigration from the Middle East has left us in greater danger than before. Muslim leaders were recklessly slow to help fight extremism in their doctrine and their followers, including the mad.

And by screaming “racist” rather than allow debate, our academics, commentators and politicians deafened us to the warnings until it was too late.
