It’s not enough to raid Bishop Brian Tamaki for guns – arrest him for inciting violence!
“I think we should reciprocate in kind. Let’s purge New Zealand of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims,”
“And, while we’re at it, if they’re burning churches down, why don’t we burn mosques and their temples down? Tit for tat.”
Brian Tamaki
Here’s the funny thing.
The Bish is right.
There is well established and well documented cases of Hindi extremists attacking Christian churches in India, that is true and it is also true that these attacks have risen since Modi’s authoritarian brand of Hindu Nationalism.
The Bish is right to protest that and he is right to criticise child bride culture which is still very entrenched inside the Indian culture B-U-T
And it’s a pretty big B-U-T
While the Bish absolutely can criticise attacks on Christian churches by Hindu extremists in India and criticise the cultural practice of child brides (that is being stamped out) WHAT HE CAN NOT DO AND HAS NO JUSTIFICATION WHATSOEVER IN DOING is calling upon his feral Destiny Church Cult Members to start violence by burning down their places of worship in some weird Holy Purge that he’s calling upon.
There is a world of difference between having genuine concerns about fellow Christians being persecuted and cultural practices we find reprehensible, but that in no way shape or form justifies calling on your follower to burn down Indian places of worship here in NZ!
Once you call for political violence, you have removed yourself from the debate because entrance to democracy is an immediate acceptance of not using violence or intimidation as tools.
Surprise surprise – The Free Speech Union rushing to defend a right wing arsehole…
…Brian incited violence – he should be arrested for inciting violence and when he incites violence he shouldn’t have any fucking guns!
New Zealand protects freedom of expression through the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. However, that right is not absolute. Speech that intentionally encourages others to commit violent crimes, or that crosses into criminal threats or counselling offences, can lose legal protection.
There are 3 laws he has broken here:
- Incitement to commit an offence
- Threatening or intimidating behaviour
- Inciting racial disharmony
He can’t call on his religious nutter crew to go burn shit down because they are fucking dumb enough to do it, remember the Library they all stormed because there was drag queen in there?
These people are not the brightest sparks in the country.
He can’t pretend his threat was flippant because he already has a track record of his followers using violence against librarians!
The Police raiding his home for his guns is just the start, they have no choice but to arrest him for
- Incitement to commit an offence
- Threatening or intimidating behaviour
- Inciting racial disharmony
After the horror in Christchurch, inciting violence against religious minorities is an obscenity.
This isn’t a Free Speech issue, he is inciting his cultists to burn mosques and temples FFS!
Not a fan of Ryan, but this was an entertaining clown show interviewing Brian the good Christian.

Tamaki is unelected.
The current government should be indited for cruelty against innocent people with their cruel social and economic measures they ram through under urgency ( with plenty of time ) despite Brownlee’s democratic excuses.
The very most potent way to delete tamaki would be to ignore him. No MSM coverage, no one turns up at his wee walk-abouts. Nothing. People like him crave attention. It fits perfectly with his narcissistic ego. Add narcissism to neoliberalism and you’ll have a fucking nightmare. Just look out the window?
We have a country beautifully aligned for peace, prosperity and creativity and yet we have roger douglas’s fucking hideous neoliberalism thrashing about like a gorilla on Meth. We have homelessness or people living in appalling conditions at best and in poor health too. Why? It’s because of the Tamaki Effect. His narcissism, his ego, his arrogance is like a transmissible disease. He’s effectively a disease and look how infectious he is? The hardships we must endure, broadly writing, have no reason to be so. We have a glorious country of such beauty and plenty and yet we must see and hear a narcissistic nut job fucking things up for us. And he’s not the only nut on the tree. Look at how many multi-billionaires and multi-millionaires we have for such a small population? How the fuck is that? Why haven’t we stopped their proliferation? We clearly have no voice within our politic and so the rich and the loony can rage and rant and blame and hate and gorge themselves while others must go hungry and be homeless. I mean what the fuck is that about?
I can tell you. While I’m no God botherer it’s clear to me that evil prevails when good people fail to act and what better way for evil to act than to pretend to be an emissary of God? The perfect disguise.
We could lock him up so he can recruit more brown people into his gang while inside .New gang selling hate instead of drugs .
As I keep sayin about the Life of Brian, it’s not a church it’s a cult.
Arrest him for his religious pyramid scheme.
