(New Zealand) Christchurch mosque shooting sees armed police deployed and schools in lockdown
abc.net.au ^ | 15 March 2019

There are reports up to a dozen people have been injured in a shooting at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Police have confirmed they are responding to a "critical incident".

All Christchurch schools are in lockdown and witnesses have reported multiple injuries.

The mosque was reportedly busy due to Friday prayers.

Witness Len Peneha said he saw a man dressed in black enter the Masjid Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch about 1:45pm and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from the mosque in terror.

Mr Peneha, who has lived next door to the mosque for about five years, said the gunman ran out of the mosque, dropped what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon in his driveway, and fled.

Mr Peneha said he then went into the mosque to try and help.

"I saw dead people everywhere. There were three in the hallway, at the door leading into the mosque, and people inside the mosque," he said.

"It's unbelievable nutty. I don't understand how anyone could do this to these people, to anyone. It's ridiculous."..

>>>Daily Mail reporting “at least” 30 dead.

Yes, because some gathered at the corner and it easy for him to shoot. He killed one injured woman on pavement outside mosque, she was asking for help and he shot her again.

I was trained to learn a culture. Analyze it. Understand it. Exploit the facets of that culture to bend it to your objective.

Your "training" isn't worth spit if your idea of victory is, de facto, for muslims to defeat themselves, vis a vis:

If we are ever going to defeat radical muslim terrorists it is going to have to be organic to the muslim community.

Cite one data point where muslims have retreated without being pushed.

“The ONLY Way to bring these lost souls to the truth and the light is through wisdom”

Islam is a known quantity. It’s not our problem to reform. It’s the duty of our idiot politicians and officials to keep these militant death cultists from ever entering the country!

4 arrested now?

from AP: New Zealand police say they’re not aware of other suspects beyond 4 arrested after mosque shootings but can’t be certain

What a classless fool. If a conservative had done the same they would be howled down. Thete are many on the left who pay some sort of lip service to Islam but actually believe all religions are equivalent and should all be banned. AOC Seems to be of that stripe. How very Marxist of her

Glad to see the moderator is removing the hate comments, but unfortunately they are a daily appearance on FR on other threads.

Change is going to have to come from within Islam?

Pay attention. Ain’t gonna happen as IT IS IN THEIR holy book to subdue the world.

Simplistic nonthinking like yours has and will get many more killed.

Maybe Hollywood was involved with this. Sounds similar to a school shooting here

Yeah.

Loves the Chicoms, eco facist, anarchist.

Wonder if it has anything to do with the weekly slaughter of Christians (that is barely reported) by the "religion of pieces", last week's being in Nigeria?

By defining those muslims as innocent, you create sympathy and show your bias. There are no innocents in the war that inevitably happens when cultures clash. This is a truism that has been proven throughout human history.

In short, the answer to the age old question of ‘Can’t we all get along? “ is an emphatic ‘no’.

Attacker is Christian. Now watch the media use the word “racist” and “intolerant” but never when Muslims do this

Exactly. From his POV he is unwilling to submit to islam or watch nations succumb. He set out to reduce the population of invaders that are overpopulating every town in Western Civilization. His manifesto is an interesting read, especially since he has no formal university education.

....most particularly the section on NGO’s financing foreign invasions.

These types of comments reflect the spirit (unholy) within a man and show how one can convince oneself to murder innocent people in a mosque, synagogue, or church.

Attacker is Christian.

*****************************************

No he isn’t. You (and whatever ignorant source you got it from) can put any label you want on a bottle. The label has zero significance if the bottle is empty.

There wouldn't have been a massacre in New Zealand sans the shooting.

There wouldn't have been a massacre in New Zealand if the murderer did not hate Moslems.

The poster you replied to made a cogent point. You did not.

Perhaps it was difficult to understand. The point is that Islam is not the only threat or impediment to the life of a Christian. Secularism, abortion, drug addiction, and porneia are all mortal threats (they separate the soul from God), and yet one should recognize it is a mortal sin to gun down any of those adherents. It was also a mortal sin to murder those Moslems in the mosque. If one cannot recognize that, one is truly lost.

So again freepers I work for Muslims from Afghanistan

They are deluded and have some fantasy world view of Mohammed

OK but they’re nice people. Most Muslims are

************************************************************

How did the nice Muslims react when you quoted to them from ‘prophetofdoom’?
