The social media strategies used by the accused Christchurch mosque shooter and Islamic State (IS) media are overlapping, says a Harvard researcher investigating online radicalisation.

Mr Decker said the first-person shooter angle, common in video games, used in livestream of the attack was commonly used in IS recruitment videos and said there was an"intersection of extremist violence and online gaming culture".

New Zealand has about one firearm to every four people and no ban on semi-automatic weapons. But that could all change. Nick Kaldas, the former Deputy Commissioner of NSW Police and now senior fellow at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute , was concerned the accused shooter's livestream could be used as recruitment material by white supremacists and jihadists alike.

Why covered his face 👹👹👹👹👹

Violence breeds violence, hatred breeds more hatred. The principle of sowing and reaping is at work here. If you kill people in the name of religion, others will rise up and do the same to you in the name of their religion. Let's preach and practice peace.

Did he use religion did he? Because that's what Islamic state uses. It takes the koran and picks out the verses that suit it's purpose.

yet no one supports him and IS became an actual country idiotic

Well if the same techniques were used then surely it's possible to identify a cell or cells that spew the garbage they do and dismantle them

Who radicalised who, a bit like the chicken and the egg. LNP policies and actions ?

Send Bolt & Hanson to manas island

So are they reading more into the guy's actions than they should, or is he a lot smarter than his background would indicate, or did he have a lot of help? If the latter then that is what you should really be worried about as he is just an delusional, easily manipulated, tool.

They are one and the same.

Thee Iron Knee

So if this is a terrorist organization it should be outlawed like IS, and members deprived of citizenship.Also both NZ and Aust immigration need to be more scrutinous of migration of citizens between the two countries. And NZ needs to change gun lawsauspol

same tactics different users, that is why it wasn't noticed...

To the lack of surprise of everyone who follows MsEntropy.

metatron100 Say it with me: 'He was radicalized by Americans'. It's okay to admit they aren't the country they once were and that times change. That's scary and different but it's okay.

ABC misinformation piece to promote anti-right propaganda. The NZ terrosist held an ideology that was as far left as it was far right. He claimed to be eco fascist & called for 'Green Nationalism'. He was against conservatism, individualism & capitalism.

The irony. Cut from the same cloth.

'Experts' trying to equate terror, just as the Qld senator did, with Islam. Implying tacitly it's the fault of Islam ergo their own fault. This is disgusting. The tactics of terrorism is basically the same&were used before IS even had a name. IRA, Black Sept., BaderMeinhof, et al

White Suprematists & Muslim Extremists Two sides of the same coin.

Pretty much. Peas in a pod. Odd that they don't recognise just how similar they are.

AND he idolised trump!!!

Evil teaching Evil.
