Sky News in its rolling coverage is speaking now to a Sydney Muslim community leader, Jamal Rifi, who says NSW Police are fully aware of the identity of the hostage taker. Rifi says he personally is aware of the man’s identity. The gunman has not yet been named.

It's one more incident of a thousand other incidents - but is trivialised, minimised, and marginalised because it is viewed in splendid isolation, separated as it is by space and time, from the other linked incidents.

QUOTE=ArchAngel;7420073]Yes let's keep some perspective or you'll have all manner of conspiracy theorists writing off a huge swathe of the world.[/QUOTE]


My 'conspiracy theory' owes more to 'objectivism' than relativism or solipsism, and though no theory can ever be 'proven' - not even scientific ones - an ever increasing preponderance of substantive evidence does 'justify' my 'theory'.

To ignore given substantive evidence in order to deny the likely probability of a given theory being correct because it does not fit in with your own view is solipsistic because you are - in essence - creating your own reality.

And as for: " you'll have all manner of conspiracy theorists writing off a huge swathe of the world." -- it is not 'conspiracy theorists' who are doing that - it is the Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists whose Master Plan this 'conspiracy theorist' is trying so honestly and passionately to raise awareness of.

My colleague Helen Davidson is at the scene. She reports:

A few minutes ago there was a loud bang and a group of people ran out of the cafe, including at least one man with his hands up.

Other reporters say they saw five to seven people who looked like hostages. I can confirm at least one amid a group who might have been police.

It is not know exactly what the cause of the bang was – whether it was gunshot, or flash bangs, or an explosion.

The scene appears to be calm again now.
