Keysar Trad from the Islamic Friendship Association spoke with ABC News 24 about what he knows of Man Haron Monis.

"When the name was released, immediately we knew who the person was. He was a person who was on the fringe, not part of the community. Seemed to have been rejected by both Sunni and Shiite branches of the community. After we heard about his initial letters we condemned them very clearly in the media many years ago and after that a meeting took place between myself and him and I told him at that time that what he was doing was wrong and unacceptable and he seemed to hang his head down and say 'Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the repercussions', but then we lost contact with him."

...

"I don't believe it is related to what we know as terrorism, what we know internationally as terrorism. This is the action of a nutter, someone who was mentally disturbed, who needed mental care."

Abbott is a cunt, and is using this situation to scrape any bit of sympathy he can get after the past month.

It wasn't just Russell Brand calling him a dodgy cunt. Two morning TV presenters had interviews with him, and both loving slammed him into the wall. The radio and newspapers have had every jab they could too.

Not long now until he's ejected from office.
