Followed the whole #Sydneysiege story yesterday and while glad that it's over, am saddened by the loss of innocent lives - Katrina Dawson, 38, a mother of 3 and Tori Johnson, 34. The sad thing about incidents like these are the ripples they create. The three children will now grow up in a world devoid of their mothers' love.
All these and what for? A political message? A show of support for ISIS? A cry for attention?Pathetic.
Looking for the silver lining though, have been greatly heartened by the show of support for Australian Muslims in the form of the #illridewithyou campaign that's going on.
They will need it, for without doubt there will be people who cannot look beyond the idiocy of one man, instead choosing to paint a whole demographic with the same brush. Already one incident - here.
