trotskies:redribbontails:WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING AUSTRALIA’S FIRST TERRORIST ATTACKThere are 13 people being held hostage in a café in Sydney’s Martin Place, where black Shahada flags - similar to those used by ISIS - are being held in the windows. From the reports from the major news source situated across the way from the store, the hostages were taken an hour and a half ago, at around 9:45am sydney time, and the instigator has pressed the hostages against the window and forced them to hold an ISIS flag to show to the cameras. It is suspected that they have explosives in the store. Keep these people in your thoughts. ( sixpenceee )sources: x , x , LIVE COVERAGE HERE Fucking hell.First of all it was not an ISIS flag. Not every black flag with Arabic on it is. 7 News wrongly claimed the flag was in a tweet which has now been deleted.Secondly, stop perpetuating Abbott’s Islamopobic scare campaign. Let’s not forget that this isn’t Australia’s first terror attack. The first one was carried out by ASIO themselves, and used as justification for expanding their powers and budget, as well as the formation of the AFP. Not a single one of them has been carried out by Muslims. In fact, it’s statistically more likely to be a racist who hates Muslims rather than an actual Muslim. There is however, a long list of ‘terror plots’ targeting Muslims, each providing and excuse for another extension of racist and repressive ‘anti-terror’ laws.Keep all Muslims in Australia in your thoughts as the government inevitably uses this as an excuse to revive Islamophobia and anti-terror hype. -- source link
