[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..............

Why is his mosque still standing. This happens in the US, there would be a “mysterious” fire.

Sad to say, but no, that will not happen. It SHOULD have happened in the wake of 9-11. But no.

All those charges and he was still walking the streets a free man.

Just shoot him in the head, dump his body on the streets for the dogs, and then deport everyone who’s even distantly related to him. If they resist, kill them.

The devils disciple here.

Eph 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

The only surprise is that his name doesn’t start with Mohammed.

Nobody could see that coming could they? Don't you dare focus anti-terrorism surveillance on mosques and Islamists. That would be PROFILING!

Why did you post this?

This doesn't happen in the US.

Well, I’m certainly glad that, for the most part, the citizens of Australia are not armed. What would have happened had a common everyday citizen been armed and popped this asshat in the head? On second thought................... Guess I’m NOT glad they’ve been disarmed. (Actually that was my first thought.)
