Not surprised they’re soft-selling this event now.....it’s all about passifying the muslim population 24/7 anymore.

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.

Police have withdrawn any objection to us naming self-confessed Sheikh Man Monis as siege suspect @9NewsSyd
There’s a lot about him on the Net.
His Wikipedia page

Found his website (not for the squeamish)

Photo taken at the time he was accused of sending abusive letters to the families of Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan has formally pleaded guilty in a Sydney court. HIS CO-ACCUSED, 'Amirah Droudis', has also pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting Monis, after SHE sent an item of mail in May 2008.

Police say media can now name gunman. They say there is no operational reason why it should be suppressed.
He is Haron Monis.
Every time something like this happens, it’s a guy who shouldn’t be alive.
He is Iranian, was in prison.
from news.com.au:
Police have authorised the naming of Sheik Man Haron Monis, who is a self-styled preacher of Islamic State on bail for accessory to murder, as the gunman...
==
Officials are not saying this is a terrorist incident.
exactly...criminals are celebrated...while young gals run through the street terrified...
These are also the type of people who say that infidels should rot in hell and we can’t do a damn thing about it..and they are yet the minority, for now. .. where’s Geert Wilders?
Who are we to judge?
Islam is the religion of peace, that's why Muslims fight against the oppression and terrorism of USA and its allies including UK and Australia. If we stay silent towards the criminals we cannot have a peaceful society. The more you fight with crime, the more peaceful you are. Islam wants peace on the Earth, that's why Muslims want to stop terrorism of America and its allies. When you speak out against crime you have taken one step towards peace.

I used to be a Rafidi, but not anymore. Now I am a Muslim, Alhamdu Lillah

If Australia had conceal and carry, the terrorist hostage taker would be dead already.
I assume this means he converted from Shia to Sunni (so he could hang with his new IS buddies)?
