Volunteers are offering support for the families of the terror attack victims, security around the area and"We're ready so that as soon as they start releasing the bodies, we'll do the washing," Armando said.He understood the bodies were still at the morgue but would start to be released on Sunday afternoon.

Asher_Wolf It’s got nothing to do with religion. These honourable men saw a need and rose to the cause because they knew what was needed. And they are Muslim. So are lots of my friends. How dare anyone target them for their wonderful faith. Can’t explain how angry, sad, disgusted, upset

OmarjSakr Heartbreaking 💔😢

shootin4love Heart-breaking. Thank you to these beautiful people.

Mosque and state must be separated to defeat terrorism: Jasser | Sky News AustraliaMuslim reformer Dr Zuhdi Jasser says that until the Muslim community separates mosque and state, radicalism will not be defeated.\n\nMr Jasser says de-programming radicals such as those who joined ISIS is very difficult due to literalist interpretations of the Qur’an. \n\nMr Jasser says if 'autocracy and theocracy' in the Muslim world is ever going to be defeated, a strategy is needed in the west, as western Muslim communities have more freedoms to create change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n No shit!!!! Islam cannot be separated like milk to get cream.. It is a State and a Religion.. The Qur'an is the Constitution Keep them there. You'll never change the way they think now.

PM says Fraser Anning must face 'full force of law' for 'appalling' anti-Muslim commentsPrime Minister Scott Morrison says there should be legal consequences for independent senator Fraser Anning blaming the Islamic community for a mosque shooting. Well maybe you should actually do something about it? I don’t want to hear from Mr.Morrison. I don’t want to watch him deflect this onto Anning, who is but a minor irritant in a flaming fire that the LNP and OneNation have created. Don’t deliver your insincere wisdom from the pulpit of righteousness- I just don’t want to hear it. Garbage. Freedom of speech shouldn’t be denied no matter how awful his opinions are. It’s exposed him for the idiot he is, now the whole country knows.

'Disgusting': Morrison slams Senator's comments on Christchurch massacreScott Morrison has led a swift and strong repudiation of Queensland Senator Fraser Anning, who linked Muslim immigration to the terror attack carried out at two mosques in New Zealand by suspected far-right extremists. latikambourke . Normally, by now, feminists would be reminding us how many more women die from domestic violence than by terrorism. I bet that won’t happen this time. latikambourke He is still in parliament , not enough done, GG needs to sack him! latikambourke All are virtue signalling over Anning's comments. Obviously the attack wouldn't have taken place if there were no mosques or Muslims in NZ. The 'but for' argument reverberates here strongly. Killing innocents is wrong whatever their creed but this virtue caterwauling is overboard
