I discovered a Jihadist tweeting and he responded to me. I want to know what the motive is behind this siege in Sydney Australia. I'm half Muslim. Bet he won't like that! After translation he told me that I should expect retaliation in Australia for their joining of the coalition bombing ISIS. He then sent me a propaganda video below, says he's a Canadian turned ISIS and nobody is forcing Islam on anyone yet the Muslims in Canada and Australia won't voice their opinions.
So far Gunmen are holding more than a dozen hostages at the Lindt cafe in Sydney’s main business areas, local media reported on Monday, with local television stations airing images of hostages pressed against windows while holding a black flag with Arabic writing.@HNNAfrica لم نجبر أحدا على الدخول في الإسلام بل أنتم من جئتم بطائراتكم تدكون ديار المسلمين هذا رد فعل طبيعي و هناك المزيد بإذن الله .

The crisis began just before 10 a.m. local time when at least two gunmen entered the Lindt Chocolate Cafe at Martin Place in Sydney’s main business area. Channel 7, which said its newsroom near the cafe had been evacuated, reported that at least thirteen hostages had been taken, including staff and customers.
Images shown by local media organizations showed hostages pressed against windows while holding up a black flag with Islamic writing, saying “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of God.” The flag is not specifically associated with the Islamic State (ISIS) group.
The surrounding area was evacuated while heavily armed police took positions nearby, with additional reports that Sydney’s Opera House was also evacuated. Channel 7 said aviation authorities had also closed airspace over Sydney.
