Condemning remarks of World leaders over New Zealand Mosque Attack

I blame these increasing terror attacks on the current Islamophobia post-9/11 where Islam & 1.3 bn Muslims have collectively been blamed for any act of terror by a Muslim. This has been done deliberately to also demonize legitimate Muslim political struggles. https://t.co/5bBREoayLz

On behalf of the UK, my deepest condolences to the people of New Zealand after the horrifying terrorist attack in Christchurch. My thoughts are with all of those affected by this sickening act of violence.

This is beyond awful. Innocent people being murdered as they worship is horrific and heartbreaking. My thoughts and solidarity are with New Zealand’s Muslim community and all of its people on this dark day. https://t.co/kxXQh4Ao2e

When Lucy & I went with John & Bronagh Key to the Bataclan in 2015 we could not imagine a terrorist attack in Christchurch. Today our love, prayers and solidarity are with the people of New Zealand whose compassion, humanity & diversity will triumph over this hateful crime. https://t.co/NKjuLVmtKs

I strongly condemn the terror attack against the Al Noor Mosque in #NewZealand and Muslim worshippers. May Allah have mercy on the victims and grant a speedy recovery to the wounded.

Labor utterly condemns the horrific attack in #Christchurch.
As we always have, Australia stands with our New Zealand friends at this terrible
time.
You are all in our hearts today.

Australia and New Zealand are family and we grieve with our brothers and sisters today. We send our love and condolences, our sorrow and solidarity in this terrible time of fear and pain and grief.

Devastated by the reports out of New Zealand. The community in Christchurch is in our hearts, as are all affected by this horrific attack. “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” – MLK

I’m horrified by the reports I’m following of the serious shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand. The situation is still unfolding but our thoughts and prayers are with our Kiwi cousins.

Horrifying news coming from New Zealand; a sickening attack on peaceful worshipers. My thoughts & prayers are with all those affected & with the people of NZ. We must cont to stand united against hatred & extremism. Let’s celebrate our diversity to show that this evil cannot win.

We strongly condemn the despicable act of terror in #Christchurch. The rise of hate across the world has taken enough lives & must come to an end. Our prayers & solidarity are with the families of the victims and with the community as a whole.

Some people just want to do damage and cause as much carnage as they can in the world. Horrified to hear what happened in New Zealand. My thoughts and love are with those affected today

— Jacksepticeye (@Jack_Septic_Eye) March 15, 2019

We stand united with our friends in New Zealand.

Tonight there are children going to bed missing a parent. Parents who have lost a child.

Their tragic losses follow acts of cowardly hatred.

Let’s honour their memories by strengthening our commitment to compassion and love.

Muslims believe that prayer works, and the ones in New Zealand were killed during jumu’a (Friday prayer) by terrorists deliberately targeting their religion. It is neither appropriate nor “woke” to respond to this attack by mocking the idea of prayer.

— Jeremy McLellan (@JeremyMcLellan) March 15, 2019

Later today, I will visit @GlasgowMosque. New Zealand may be on the other side of the world but I know that for Muslims here, what has happened will feel very personal and close to home. As we send our love to #christchurch, we must stand united here.

— Nicola Sturgeon (@NicolaSturgeon) March 15, 2019

My heart goes out to the victims of the despicable terror attacks in Christchurch, and their loved ones, and my solidarity is with the people of New Zealand as they stand together against this loathsome act of racial and religious hatred.

— Emily Thornberry (@EmilyThornberry) March 15, 2019

Condemn in the strongest possible terms, the barbaric, violent act of terrorism at a mosque in Christchurch New Zealand. Unfortunate rise in white supremacist
& Islamaphobic attacks. Thoughts and prayers with the victims & people of New Zealand.

في يوم سلام كيوم الجمعة وفِي مكان عبادة كالمسجد شهدنا أبشع جريمة كراهية دينية راح ضحيتها ٤٩ من المصلين. تعازينا لنيوزيلندا ولأهالي الضحايا ولكافة المسلمين وباسمي وباسم بلدي التي خصصت عاما كاملا للتسامح ندين ونعرب عن عميق حزننا وندعوا العالم لوقفة مراجعة لترسيخ التسامح بين الأديان

Heartfelt condolences to Gov & people of peaceful New Zeland on terrorist mass shootings at two mosques in Christchurch. Our collective work against violence & hate must continue with renewed vigor. Our thoughts & prayers are with the families of the victims.

“This attack on innocent lives at spaces of worship for a religious community will be condemned by all those who believe in freedom and democratic values.”
