http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-30474089Started about 2 hours ago I think - couldn't find a properly timestamped news story to confirm that. Also, suspicious package at the Opera House. Given the flag with Arabic writing, please take the PWEC to where it belongs.

Started about 5-6 hours ago and good luck keeping this out of the PWEC. There is already a thread there.

the article/event itself is an example of hate ..... so you're saying it's ok to have the hate here ?

"People inside the cafe have been seen holding up a black flag with Arabic writing at the window" ...... under the threat of some weapon likely
yep ..... looks like some kind of hate to me and its controversial .....this has PWEC written all over it
I'll bet you a 6 pack beer it gets moved to PWEC

LOL and thank you for making my point - it's all assumption. It's most likely right but still assumption. Edit 1: Oh, and nice edit on your earlier post. Next time I'll be sure to do a quote Edit 2: And no I won't take the bet - Dart's post already swings the odds in your favor

It's a shahada flag which reads "There is no god but allah and mohammed is his prophet." It's also referred to as the black standard because of it's use by various jihadi groups. So while it's not an ISIS/ISIL/IS flag it's still used by islamic militants around the world.

Thanks.
Just out of curiosity, is it only used by militants? If I remember I'll ask my Iraqi friend about it. Nope, it's not. Every convert and Muslim will recite it. Nothing negative about it. It's been hijacked by the mad bearded ones unfortunately, and everybody else sort of concluded it's all bad news. Probably is bad news in this particular case. Cheers, Slug

Not everyone wants to read the hate and as of the time of my OP it wasn't considered a terrorist event. If it has been since then go ahead & delete or lock this thread.
I don't look at PWEC a lot (and only when I'm going through the Active Topics search thingy) so I didn't notice the wonderfully titled thread over there. Every house needs a garbage can.
Question everything!
