The idenitity of the Sydney gunman revealed

This news came as a surprise to say the east. As an Iranian (unless he is part of a Sunni minority) he should be Shi'ia. Nobody has even asked the question of why an Iranian would be supporting the al-Qaeda al-Nusra.  

Still the news organisations are still going in about ISIS when clearly this act had nothing to do with it.

One question to be raised is whether the security forces in Australia have groomed this man to commit this act as the FBI have done in the United States.

It was inevitable that, however this played up, that he would end up dead so he could not tell his story.  If the media had done its job it would have let him speak to him.

Too many questions that will remain forever unanswered.


claimed he was too liberal for Iran, he then became devout shia, then an AlQaeda supporter - schizophrenia?

Sheik Man Haron Monis, an Islamic ‘spiritual healer’ who is facing charges of sexual assault and being an accessory to murder, has been identified as the man who has taken civilians hostage in a Sydney café, according to local media citing police sources.

"There's no operational reason for that name to be held back by us now," an anonymous police source told Reuters.

The Iranian-born 50-year-old fled to Australia in 1996, but came to prominence after 2007, when he began sending “hate mail” to families of soldiers, who died while fighting in Iraq.

Despite claiming to be a peace advocate, and even chaining himself to a courthouse, Monis was sentenced to 300 hours of community service last year.

Since then, his charge sheet has included much graver offences.

In December last year, Monis was accused of helping his current partner, Amirah Droudis, to murder his ex-wife, Noleen Hayson Pal. The woman had been stabbed several times and set alight in a Sydney apartment in April 2013.

Monis had been locked in a custody battle with Pal, and prosecutors say he staged a heart attack, car accident and a robbery to create an alibi on the day of the murder.


In April this year, Monis, who was on bail, was re-arrested after multiple reports of sexual abuse emerged


Between 2000 and 2002, Monis styled himself as an “expert in astrology, numerology, meditation and black magic.” More than 40 women have alleged that he used this as an opportunity to sexually assault vulnerable clients, who came to him for help.

Despite police concerns that Monis could attempt to extract revenge against his accusers, the preacher was once again released prior to his hearing.

Monis, who accumulated more than 14,000 followers on his Facebook page before it was shut down on Monday, accused the government of systematic persecution.

Monis was due to face trial for both sets of charges next year.

On Monday he walked into Lindt cafe in central Sydney, reportedly brandishing a gun. More than a dozen hostages were thought to remain inside, before police began a storm as night fell.
