We know that. But most people think they’re different from most muzzies.

But the flag isn’t the ISIS flag. It’s a little different from the one they fly.

Our news stations are not giving much other than blips...probably not receiving constant information and competing with prescheduled programs. Al Jazeeera NYC TV, station I had a little while ago was way behind on info.

But of course it is. LOL!
Like I said, one day people will figure out they’re all the same - - murderous thugs.

Even the coppers could be. Giving the tangoes a look and running description of what the cops are up to right outside is a bad idea.

All Sydney schools in lockdown.

Many private schools will already be on Christmas break.

Crowds gather around Martin Place.

Not sure that is such a smart idea, considering that the perp may have a bomb vest.

That is my bad. I call the shahada flag the ISIS flag or the Al Qaeda flag. My bad too that I don't distinguish between ISIS, Al Qaeda and Muzzie flags. CAIR will be mad at me. Is it torture? Will I go to jail?
