Guys, looking by whats been happening overnight in the forum, please allow me to say this. It is very sad for us Australians and people living in Australia to wake up this morning learning about the tragic incident that happened overnight. It is indeed ended as an unfortunate outcome, and I feel my very deep condolences to the victims, the hostages, their families, and everyone who are affected by this incident. Please however we should not let this get the best of us. Please remember that we are Indonesian. At the time like this, we should stand together and holding onto the values that we have. I feel very sorry that the entire Australian Muslim community has to be affected and will possibly feel the reprecussions after today, due to a course of action done by one crazy man which is very unjustified. It wasnt even an act of terrorism representing a certain movement. It was solely an act of one desperate and disturbed man with known criminal records seeking for acknowledgement and desperately seeking for values. And even if this was an act of terrorism or some extremists, dont let them win....dont let them get what they want, to break us apart. Dont let them separate us and twist us from our original values. If anything, we should be more united than ever. So again I encourage everyone to stay strong, stay united, keep our festive spirit, and remember that we are a strong nation with strong value of diversity. We shouldnt get affected by this too much and move on. Thank you. P.S. Dear fellow admins, this post is meant to encourage people. If it ended up going another way under your watch, please feel free to do what you have to do =)
