Sorry if that sounded freakish but it is what it is. That is not the Star of David right there, that is the Islamic Shahada.
I understand bro, it's a piece of cloth. Anyone can hide behind it. Of course we suspect these hostage takers to be Muslim. But, we don't know motives yet. If it's related to political issues or not. Either way it is despicable crime. Me and you being loud about that won't change peoples perspectives. There are people who already decided, they don't care that you condemn these acts. Some people have agendas and ideological beliefs. Try not attributing to Muslims, we should act just as anyone else regarding these isolated incidents.
However, I personally am suspecting these to be converts. Because it is common with Salafi, socially isolated people to have weird and extreme beliefs. And these people have psychological issues. It is very obvious, if you look at their forums you can't reason with them. It's not because they aren't moderate but because they're self-centered and think they are higher than everyone else. First ones being other Muslims, they even accuse other AQ branches of blasphemey and so forth. They are deluded. And nobody should encourage their views.
Advancing a "potential political agenda" by using a flag with Shahada on it and taking numerous civilians hostages? It is outright terrorism, and has absolutely nothing political about it. May be not Abbot himself, but Australia will face the consequences for going lenient about it.
You must not have seen the size of rallies carried out by Hizb ut Tehrir after the police raids. Authorities went apologetic even for doing the right thing, and this is the result of that. They go lenient now, and it will only get worse. And for you my dear, it will not bring as much harm to Australia or non-Muslims, as it will to all the Muslims around the world. For once, open your eyes and see what is right and what is wrong.
Again, we don't know motives of individuals. They are classified by law as criminals. And if found that they have political motives then they would be domestic terrorists. Having a flag means nothing to average educated person. You're making it bigger than it is. I did not hear about any rallies.
