Islamophobia has ‘no place in NZ’ says Luxon on March 15th anniversary…
Islamophobia has ‘no place in NZ’
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the country must continue to confront the forces which led to the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks.
Luxon spoke at a Unity Hui in Christchurch on Saturday morning marking the sixth anniversary of the mosque attacks, which left 51 people dead and 89 injured.
On 15 March, a white supremacist terrorist from Australia stormed into Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre.
In his speech, Luxon said there was no place for Islamophobia in New Zealand.
“As we reflect on this day we must also confront the forces that led to this tragedy.
“Islamophobia – like all forms of hatred – has absolutely no place in New Zealand,
…right.
So no place for Islamophobia in NZ on the anniversary of our worst terrorist attacks, but the guns that allowed the white supremacist terrorist to commit his terrorism, well if Nicole McKee gets her way, they are welcome?
Firearms Minister Nicole McKee won’t rule out trying to bring back banned guns
How sincere can Luxon be when the very weapon that allowed this massacre be back on the agenda of a Government he leads?
The truth is we still don’t want to talk about what happened in Christchurch.
We don’t want to talk about a white supremacist plotting an atrocity.
We don’t want to talk about the ease with which he manipulated lax Police process to buy his sub machine guns.
We don’t want to talk about the garden variety bigotry against Muslim people in this country.
We don’t want to talk about the cascade failure of our Intelligence apparatus is finding him.
We don’t want to talk about any of it.
Pakeha NZ is very brittle and fragile when it comes to death and pain. We are an emotionally uptight ruddy people with little forgiveness.
Māori culture know how to grieve, they’ve suffered so much pain their death rituals are intrinsic to the cosmology.
NZ hasn’t managed to process what happened in Christchurch while the victims continue to suffer from our refusal to process the horror that erupted.
We are a pre-teen juvenile culture desperately trying to understand an adult obscenity.
We have had a white washed report into the Intelligence Failures of the Christchurch Terrorist.
TDB has been critical of this enormous security failure since it occurred.
We spend hundreds of millions on the Intelligence Apparatus in NZ and yet their focus is on Environmentalists, Unionists, Māori, Muslim students and Left wing Political figures NOT white supremacy…
In March and August 2018, up to a year before he attacked two Christchurch mosques, gunman Brenton Tarrant posted publicly online that he planned to do so. Until now, these statements have not been identified.
In fact, for four years before his attack, the terrorist had been posting anonymously but publicly on the online message board 4chan about the need to attack people of colour in locations of “significance”, including places of worship.
In its final report in 2020, the royal commission of inquiry into the terror attacks wrote:
The individual claimed that he was not a frequent commenter on extreme right-wing sites and that YouTube was, for him, a far more significant source of information and inspiration. Although he did frequent extreme right-wing discussion boards such as those on 4chan and 8chan, the evidence we have seen is indicative of more substantial use of YouTube and is therefore consistent with what he told us.
Given the importance of online environments in radicalising lone actor terrorists, we questioned this and set out to investigate whether right-wing websites were important in the terrorist’s radicalisation.
What we found overturns a great deal of what we thought we knew about him. It also raises serious questions, not only about why this posting was not detected before the attack, but also why it has not been discovered in the five years since the March 15 attacks.
…these new insights go alongside warnings made from his shooting club about his behaviour and shooting stance alongside extremist material downloaded near his address.
If the NZ Intelligence Apparatus had made white supremacy a focus, they would have seen him.
Add to this white supremacy as a red flag an anti Islamic fetish, anti Vaccine propaganda, Qanon Conspiracy theorists and Sovereign Citizen movements and you have a boiling swamp looking for the stillborn embryo of extremist violence.
My fear is that we will not have managed to process Christchurch before the next atrocity.
Luxon has none of the moral courage Jacinda showed that day, his words against hate are meaningless when you consider how hateful this Government has been to its own citizens in just 2 years.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
“Islamophobia has no place in NZ”…. but Luxon has been meeting regularly with the vile Juliet Moses, who disrupted the Christchurch terror attack hui with her bizarre anti-Muslim hate rants against Hezbollah because they defend Lebanon against her people infesting it?

“Islamophobia has no place in NZ”…. but Luxon appoints as a Minister Mark Mitchell, the mercenary monster responsible for trafficking supplies to the American occupational forces in Iraq that they used to help kill tens of thousands of Iraqis, primarily Muslims?
Guns are tool of course they have a place.
Australian terrorists don’t.
Australian terrorists without guns are nothing, see the difference?
That’s just silly.
With a little more effort, Tarrant could have scored out some nitrates and enough diesel to work up a vehicle bomb and done at least as much damage as he did.
Back in reality, tools are tools. But ideology is ideology.
Without the evil ideology of hatred that its proponents like Juliet Moses and David Cumin call ‘counterjihad’, being promoted to Tarrant, he would not have committed the crimes that he did.
I’m afraid that’s what we’re about to find out and it can probably get a lot worse before it gets better since it’s a negative feedback loop that feeds off the worsening relations between Muslim and Non-Muslims that produces more and more Extremist radicals which in turn produces more prejudice and prosecution.. Which is exactly what the fuck people like Osama Bin Laden wanted in the first place.
That smartest thing to do is to nip it in the bud, stomp on it, and deal with it effectively now. Unfortunately, there’s always going to be a certain percentage of people who will find the extremist ideology attractive.
On both sides.
I’m unashamedly religion-phobic.
I regard religious practices as perhaps the most dangerous and harmful set of delusions suffered by humankind.
Some religions are much worse than others in the damage they’ve done.
The Abrahamic religions are amongst the very worst.
Islamophobia is fear/adversion of an religious ideology, and should not be conflated with hatred toward a group of people or its practitioners.
I regard the word as a weasel term designed to shut down and stigmatise debate over the merits and dangers of the religion itself.
Guns certainly have no place in NZ.
He is a two faced prick .He pushes this I care mantra here but enables the genocide to continue in Gazza .What a cock he is .Luxon should grow some balls and tell Winston to give the USA serve for arming Israel and allowing them to kill people by starvation and lack of water .
Yeah don’t know of even one incident in NZ but that is no reason to not have a legitimate fear of Islam.
Islam wants theocracy everywhere.
