[Sydney] Hostage-taker named as radical Muslim cleric Man Haron Monis
Channel 9 News ^ | December 15, 2014

Posted on 12/15/2014 6:19:13 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Radical Muslim cleric Sheik Man Haron Monis has been revealed to be the ringleader in the Sydney cafe siege that has seen up to 30 people held hostage for more than 10 hours.

Monis was born Manteghi Bourjerdi and fled from Iran to Australia in 1996 where he changed his name to Man Haron Monis and assuming the title of Sheik Haron.

He has gained media attention in the past for a "hate mail" campaign, protesting the presence of Australian troops in Afghanistan.

The campaign saw him and his partner Amirah Droudis post hate-filled letters to the families of dead Australian soldiers.

The family of Brett Till, an Australian solder killed by a roadside bomb in 2009, was just one of the families who received a letter.

"We sat in our homes, reading these letters ... This man accusing my husband of being a child killer," widow Bree Till said at the time.

n November 2009 Monis appeared in court claiming to be a peace activist but later chained himself to the courthouse in protest of charges laid against him.

Monis escaped jail time but was sentenced to 300 hours of community service and placed on a two-year good behaviour bond in September 2013.

He again received attention from police in November last year when he allegedly organised the murder of ex-wife Noleen Pal.

Ms Pal had been stabbed and her body set alight in a Werrington apartment block, allegedly by Ms Droudis.

In April this year he was charged with sexually assaulting seven women while working as a spiritual healer in Wentworthville, where he claimed to be an expert in astrology, numerology, meditation and black magic.

In October Monis was charged with an extra 40 sexual offences relating to his work as a spiritual healer..............

Something tells me that treating this as a hostage situation and negotiating with this fellow is the wrong avenue, unless is it buying time for the snipers to get a bead on this mofo.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott confirmed late Monday that the gunman appeared to have “a political motivation,” and local media reported that the gunman was trying to obtain an Islamic State flag in exchange for some of the hostages.

...Deputy Police Commissioner Catherine Burn...declined to call the incident a terrorist act. “We still don’t know what the motivation might be,” she said, adding that authorities “want to resolve this peacefully.”

The hostage-taker himself agrees with your logic. He has openly said many times that he is "peaceful" because fighting against crime and terrorism is moving towards peace.

(He helped his new honey, Amirah, to murder his ex wife, and he sent abusive letters to the families of soldiers who died in Afghanistan, as well. All for his peaceful future.)

one person holding 30 hostage?

If you all jump him at once, you will win.

He can’t shoot everyone.

And when he is down you can stomp on his face and then say he fell

Those escaped hostages looked terrorized! I was deeply suspicious at first because it looked like no women were being released. Then I saw one.

Remember, if we capture the muzzie slime alive, please use the following rule:

Red = Positive to left nut.
Black = Negative to right nut.

Make sure both nuts are moist.

Rinse.

Repeat until well done.
