does not integrate into the societies that welcome them.

Fortunately, Switzerland forbids to build mosques there; not racism, just protect the culture of the country from invasion.

We've been having Bataclans for several decades now. Sooner or later someone is going to push back. Duh.

Joseph ,   USA   (03.15.19)
This is despicable but there are some inconsistencies. " gunman was white, blond and wearing a helmet " if he had a helmet how did he know gunman was blond? Also is horrible but I wonder how they like it now that the shoe is on the other foot....

8. Shooting attack in New Zealand
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (03.15.19)
THIS IS HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, DISGUSTING, TRAGIC AND SENSELESS. In this case killing (innocent) people does not solve anything. It can make matyrs of people/It can turn people into martyrs.. Ending "islam' not by violence and killing. Only if necessary and needed, if all other means fail.. That also must be done by forbidding "islam" by law and legislation, just as other crimes.
9. Oh well...
Peppa Pig   (03.15.19)
I'd just like to know why the world isn't this "infuriated" when churches and synagogues are attacked around the world and Christians and Jews massacred?

11. What disgusting posts here
Bertramf ,   London, UK.   (03.15.19)
Even the idiot who currently occupies the White House had the sense to simply offer condolences. You lot are as infected with hatred as the murderers in Christchurch, Pittsburgh, Paris, Manchester and elsewhere.

Did the Israeli Knesset pause for 1 minute in respect for the loss of those Britons killed in the London terror attacks?

Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (03.15.19)
The gunman live-streamed the murders and his trip between murder scenes. That is one reason they know what he looks like. Apparently he is Australian. Nobody yet knows or has revealed the reasoning or inspiration behind this evil act.
16. Trump mentioned in perpetrator's manifesto
(03.15.19)
Yep look it up these are international white supremacists at work
17. regardless of differences, leave the innocents alone
ed   (03.15.19)
people praying in a mosque, synagogue or church should be left in peace to worship freely. no one should harm them. what happened in Australia is an outrage. opinions about immigration vary and can become hot.. no one should stoke up these tensions. no one.

if anything, Jews and Arabs should co me together and work out a deal including the space of jordan to allow for population size. and they should do on their own without the bad influence of indky, ross or kurtz who make matters worse.

hamas is capable of working out a deal.
18. Unbelievable
John   (03.15.19)
All this hatred? How can you be happy by wishing more pain to those people?
Isn’t it the same when someone hurts, kills a Jew? Isn’t it the same life which was created from God? Your are insane! No matter what happens, never ever get happy for a terrorist act.
Or should I call you all the great grandson of “Stella Goldschlag” ?
A traitor? A lair?
Cheers
19. A blatant case of anti-Islamic terrorism.
Gershon ,   Shiloh   (03.15.19)
In these moments of social concern, it is necessary for the people of New Zealand to summon serenity and understanding to overcome the trauma. It is also necessary that the authorities, once studied the various circumstances that led to the attack, adopt the appropriate measures to prevent future cases that, without a doubt, will irreversibly affect the peaceful coexistence of citizens.
20. To #3 & #16 About Pres. Trump
R. Shalom ,   Palmachim - Israel   (03.15.19)
It's true that shooter Brenton Tarrant mentions President Trump, but in the magazines of his rifles appears Pelagius of Asturias (dead 737CE), the Spanish king who started the Reconquista war against the Muslim invaders.

He also refers to Charles Martel (686-741CE), the French king who defeated the unstoppable Arab invaders at the Battle of Poitiers in 732CE, frustrating their advance forever.

Also on his list are many European leaders who fought and won the Turkish armies of the Ottoman sultans, the bloody and tyrannical ancestors of Erdogan who terrorized the coasts of the Mediterranean with their fleet of pirates.

However, he forgets the New York 9/11 Attack, why?

Were all they Islamophobes, or white supremacists, or simply patriots who defended their peoples and their countries against the Muslims, by far the greatest landowners on Earth today?

Is it a crime to reject thoroughly the Islamic religion and not want to have anything to do with its uses and customs?
21. Just a "teaser" of what's to come in the Western world!

24. I for one will not pretend. I didn't know these victims and
(03.16.19)
I have no tribal kinship with them.
On the other hand I do feel kinship with the Jewish victims of Islamic barbarism, thus it truly pains and enrages me when innocent people die.
I feel nothing for "humanity" as such.
That dubious virtue I leave to the PC-phonies from the liberal / "progressive" circles.
Bottom line: oh well, surely a tragedy for all involved, including the hapless New Zealanders.
This type of incidents are expected & tolerated in Muslim countries on daily basis, without much hand wringing form the leftist duplicitous tools!
As folks write elsewhere: taste of own medicine.
BTW. an almost "standard" occurrence in the gun-crazed USA.
25. Imagine what will happen in Europe, that is flooded with
(03.16.19)
Islamic hordes?
People are slowly realizing, that politicians are never going to address the approaching disaster, because that would mean accepting the blame for causing it in the first place.
What do you think a human does, when feeling cornered?
Yep, you've guessed it!
26. Weapons of War
Gavriel Rechov ,   Swingate, Kent UK   (03.17.19)
Among the most amazing things I have ever seen are the rifle and five of the magazines used by Mr. Brenton Tarrant in the attack. They are completely written with a white marker with the names of some of the most distinguished enemies of Islam, 42 names in total, 2 of them repeated.

This absolutely unusual fact in the terrorist lore can be understood in many ways, and among them I'll only mention two.

At first glance, the list constitutes the statement of defense that he presents to the world to justify the reason for his attack. He isn't more guilty of killing Muslims invaders than each of the famous names he has just taken out of eternal oblivion. And he present them to us to act as witnesses and defense lawyers

The second interpretation is quite more disturbing than the previous one, because the names that appear on the rifle and the magazines could be the ultimate weapon for a wider and much more destructive attack.

In my humble opinion, the most lethal bullets are not the ones that have killed 49 unfortunates in Christchurch. Those bullets have only been the indispensable activators of the silver bullets that are in each of the names, which will pierce the minds of those who want to know more about each of them, providing explosive ammunition of large caliber for personal use, something absolutely unknown in the history of weapons of war.

All this, along with the enormity of small and smart details surrounding the attack, and that would be long to describe here, lead me to think that we're facing a man who far exceeds Theodore Kaczynski, aka The Unabomber, author of a very famous manifest, as well as Anders Behring Breivik, the terrorist who committed the 2011 Oslo attacks.

And since all this together doesn't seem plausible, I suspect that Brenton Tarrant hasn't worked alone, and that perhaps there are more intellectual authors, but that is a task that corresponds to investigating the New Zealand police.
27. John pedesta in NZ 4 days before attack, conspiracy?

28. KHALID FROM MY JERUSALEM DIE ALREADY!!! GO TO PARADISE 72???
