"This reaffirms what we have always maintained: that terrorism does not have a religion," Khan wrote on Twitter on Friday."I blame these increasing terror attacks on the current Islamophobia post-9/11 where Islam & 1.3 bn Muslims have collectively been blamed for any act of terror by a Muslim," he added.
Raeem Rashid. I want to remember that name and forget the name of the mass murderer.
An honour killing ?

The hero, like the villain of the Christchurch attack, is an AustralianAs Abdul Aziz told his story in Christchurch he was embraced by two young men who kissed him and said: 'You are our hero, you saved our lives'.

Bring them here please, ScottMorrisonMP So the guy who did the killing is a native born Aussie but the guy who did the saving is an immigrant Aussie. So how does that reconcile w the oft said & tiresome (& now apparently wrong) argument that immigrants are bad?
