Abdul Aziz, the man who has been described as hero after he attacked and chased off the terrorist at the Linwood Mosque is an Australian citizen who lived in Sydney for 27 years after leaving Afghanistan as a refugee.
Afghan refugee from Australia , Abdul Aziz, 48, is hugged by a complete stranger saying,"You are a hero , you saved our lives."Aziz was at Friday prayers at Linwood mosque with his four sons when he heard gunfire outside. As with some other witnesses he at first thought it was fireworks. Then he heard screaming and a man saying that people were being shot.
"I didn't know if he was the good guy or the bad guy you know? And I said, 'Who are you?' and, I am sorry but I used some bad language and I swear to him.Aziz was determined to keep him out of the mosque. But the gunman ducked under the hurled machine. Aziz then found a shotgun earlier abandoned by the killer. He picked it up, pointed it at the killer and tried to fire.The gunman did not see him. He was returning to the mosque, still shooting. Aziz chased him in.

Australian man arrested, 40 dead in Christchurch mosque terror attackBreaking 40 people are believed to have lost their lives in the Christchurch terror attacks, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirms. Also dropped a 'we will protect you' into the media conference pretty much as expected! Will be working on how to turn this into a political scaremongering to try and save seats! 🤬🤬🤬 So, an Australian is in custody over the tragic mosque shooting. This is the result of constant racial/religious dog whistling. It's on the heads of any person in public life who has perpetuated this most disgusting of political strategies. This is the consequence of the Islamophobic and racist hate that has been normalised and legitimised by some politicians and media.

Police probe Australian links in Christchurch terror attackThe family of a man charged over the Christchurch mosque massacre approached NSW Police after viewing footage of the terror attack. The manifesto says he chose New Zealand two years earlier and planning the attack for three months.[In the manifesto he describes himself as previously a 'communist,' an 'anarchist,' but then turned to 'libertarian', 'racist,' 'eco-fascist' concerned with global warming. Truth Had this been an Islamic terrorist attack I doubt the police would be waiting for the family members to come forward. No doubt the doors would have been smashed in at 3am family members would have been treated like crims, the house searched and all com's equipment confiscated. Note: These heavily armed murderous cowards chose the softest possible target they could, were far too cowardly to fight for whatever idiocy drove them, and apparently meekly submitted to arrest without injury to themselves after being confronted.
