not the best way to solve the problem.

Stupid !

Fake news

Jacinda wearing a head scarf is the utmost disrespectful thing I can think of for the NZ/AUS population

Its really heartbreaking. If you hurt them, you also hurt me because muslims are families ❤

This is acts of terorism !!!

Thats why its called terror.

This act of terror are unacceptable...

Well said Prime Minister Arden, well said. 'They are us'

Take a big action against this terrorism.

Gun control works, New Zealand has a zero tolerance, you can't own them. Wait...maybe it doesn't

or police should guard mosque

why we cant go to mosque? mosque is a place for islam to pray :(

the reason why thanos want to wipe out and start fresh. too many idiots on earth.

Many Christians have been murdered throughout the world, also. Don't forget about them!!!

So nz is not safe...

I think the worst part about all of this is how casual the shooter was. He was so yadda yadda yadda about it. Those lives lost and he just drove down the street like nothing happened. Why so callous?

NancySinatra This is such a great example of a true leader, in a time of crisis. Calm, steady, support for the victims, condemnation of hate and hate crimes, condemning terrorism, and a clear message, they are NOT welcome in New Zealand. My heart goes out to innocent victims of hate in NZ.

Have nice day 😀

White Supremacists and ISIS are two sides of the same coin.

I don't think this advice is going down. Muslim turning up to pray to their God in the face of this fear is one of the most powerful elements of faith. That normal people are brave enough to do this....

she did not once call it a terrorist attack did she says all that needs to be said about her

This isn’t a mass shooting .. this is terrorism

Don’t they have fun control?

Not sure I understand. If there is no place in New Zealand for violence, where should it be.

What a dumb headline. The headline should be People- should not be shooting as mosques. No one should stop going there to pray. Change your headline CNN.

THIS is how a leader condemns violence, provides solace to the victims and the country and assures the public it will be dealt with. Takes notes 📝

Terrorism

This is terrorism. Call it as it is. Terrorism acted upon the innocent muslims lives.

Jackislicious06

In light of this, let's go to masjid and perform solat together.

ruthhill74 Heartbreaking news! Thoughts and prayers ❤️🙏

What a brave leader. My heart breaks for New Zealand Christchurch

Innalillah... Alfatihah to d deceased.. Thoughts and prayers for the victims. Terrorism has no religion, race, or any place to belong! PrayForChristchurchVictims

MASS SHOOTING ?!?! MASS CRASH ON 11 SEPTEMBER AHAH COME ON BOYS ITS A TERRORIST ATTACK

Praying for ChristchurchMosqueAttack victims, family and those responding to them!

Hmmmm a country with very restrictive gun laws BTW.

This 👇

CNNisFakeNews CNNisTheEnemyOfThePeople

Very cruel 😢 All human have their own right to pray, no matter what religion.

GlikoR Stop the Leader of the free world to push always against foreign people with different religions.

Why isn’t CNN and others calling this Terrorism?! Is it maybe because of the religion of the victims?! Where is the humanity?

This is terroris

This is evil terrorism. Killing innocent people is the act of terrorism!!! Terrorist!

Just waiting for the one world order, gun grabbers, anti jew, pro sharia law Democrats start the 'it is Donald Trump's fault', 'the shooter screamed MAGA', 'the shooter was a registered Republican', (enter DemocratLies here). Anything but the truth ...

Terrorist

Christian is terrorrist

Fox News and it’s followers are gonna celebrate today they are very happy that muslims died today in the mosque

PaoloGentiloni With prayers.

So, people shouldn’t do what they want on a day to day and pray, but a low life terrorist can spray people with a gun like it’s a water pistol. No. Make better rules.

brianstelter Sad to be reminded at a time like this, that this is what the leader of a country does in a crisis. Addresses the nation in a clear and concise manner, does not denigrate anyone, does spew hatred and does not state how many fine people are on both sides of the conflict!

New zealand image to me was a beautiful peace country, the criminal make such a disgrace and shamefully bring NZ image as negative view. I hope NZ bring the criminal down.

Let’s not forget that she correctly labelled them as terrorists.

This was terrorism!!!!

it’s called act of terrorism and not mass shooting! Even the PM described it this way!

I never expected that after America New Zealand also Hate the Muslims in their County..

sembang paria pulak kau ni

There's only on dark they in NewZealand. The day the BRITs landed. NewZealandShooting

Al-fatihah for my muslim brothers and sisters💔 we should condemn the terrorists at all cost!!! What a heartbreaking news💔💔💔💔💔💔

Very well spoken. We in the United States should aspire to support inclusion in the same articulate, sincere manner. POTUS is the realDonaldTrump listening or is he too occupied with his absurd, disrespectful remarks about the military, police and bikers? NewZealandShootings

In America, we would call it “Friday.” Would that we were this shocked and traumatized after a mass shooting. My heart goes out to Muslims who live in fear everywhere

Don't they have strict gun control?🤔

unprecedented violence This was terrorism. Evil terrorism.

Stopped short of declaring this an act of terror which it actually is.

That means new zealands is not safe for us as a muslim, all of muslim should not go to new zealands. If go there will be killed. You said muslim is terrorist but now, muslim got to kill. Who is actually terrorist

Correction plz. Terrorism not violance.😭😭😭😭 Mind it

Rude

'They are us'. Powerful words.

So then they are not “very fine people”?!

“ people should not to go to that mosque for a while, for investigation” ... this is normal police that have responsibility say ~~

MSN As usual the isis took the COWARDS way pick a place where there are no weapons. AND THE MEDIA JUMPS ON IT LIKE A DOG ON A STEAK not realizing that's what they want coverage.

White Rightwing terrorist Attack The Muslim community in New Zealand 🇳🇿 killing at least 40. Pray for the victims. I also call on Trump to stop the hateful speech against Muslims, minorities , immigrants and others.

Our cousin's our extended family is attacked we help

Religion is human right... they should see this in humanity side. There are rules in this world😣

He is a TERRORIST , and this is called TERRORISM .

STOP GLORIFYING THIS HAPPENING.

Pary for New Zealand

Isn't this what the shooters want? People to stop going to mosques? 😢

There is no place in this world for any kind of violence my apologies to all who lost love ones in this horrific tragedy

Parey for New Zealand

I strongly condemned this... It is clearly an act of terrorism...

Hahaha ROTFLMAO

I didn’t hear any terorist word in this video? IF the criminal were a moslem, then they’ll shout out “there are terrorist bla bla bla”

Turmp: You're fake news .all

Is it only a violence? Why it is not terrorism? WhyItIsNotTerrorism

IsMuslimTerrorist Is it only a violence? Because he is a christian. If it was a Muslim then what would you all say

it's terrorism 😭😭

prayforchristchurch prayforVICTIMS STAYSTRONGFORFAMILIEMEMBERS

Such heartbreaking news. How clear and caring Jacinda Ardern seemed, at a time when her country needs her. We all need some of that.

So I've been banned from commenting on facebook for posting this attack on a page for 3 days and had the video removed. I checked multiple Islamic pages and they have the same video up and running for longer than the 1 second it took facebook to remove mine!. Double standards

Protect the mosque with police rather than stoping them from go to the mosque for pray.

*terrorist attack

It’s Islamophobic and Anti-Muslim Terrorism, pure and simple. WeMustStopTerror and ProtectAllPlacesOfWorship. Legislation, enforcement of the law, and strict punishment is urgently needed, in order to deter these sickly coward individuals and groups, everywhere.

Oh yea? Still insisting to call it mass shooting? Or beacause the attackers were white ppl you call it like that

Muslim are humans too !

TERRORISM NOT VIOLENCE ... DONT WHITE WASH CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST/WHITE MAN'S CRIMES!

its an act of Terrorism not extreme violence. its more than that

if the murder happen in school, so people should not go to school?

Al-fatihah ♥️

Buasterds... totally involved america & jewish terorist

God will punish your evil act.

Unprecedented evil 😞 A very sad day for Christchurch

The left have gone so crazy and authoritarian that they push people to become like this man. Absolutely barbaric act and a tragedy. Prayers go to the families. Prod any group long enough they retaliate. Let’s stop this crap

Acts of TERRORISM! not just violence

Condolences New Zealand. You are like brothers to us. Having experienced a lot of that here, in the US, it's very sensitive. Do not let it become the normal. Do Not allow gun advocates insist more guns is any solution. RIP

What our fault..

Not one peep out of likes if realDonaldTrump narendramodi netanyahu so far to condemn the shootings.. why because they see shootings against Muslim as nothing ( probably messaging each other with high five emoji )..assholes warmongers

Act of violence Its TERRORISM FOR GOD SAKE 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

It's not VIOLENCE It's Terrifying_Terrorist_act ,planned over time with all equipment, Guns, cameras,white criminals groups and mass shootings killing, so you have world most dangerous terrorists ever been,what f...n violence you are talking about?!Can't you say it's Terrorist

This is A Terrorist Attack Not A Act of Violence etc

If he was Muslim you would say this is terrorist.....!!!! He is really TERRORIST

Peoples Should Not Go to Church after Church Attacks

THIS IS REAL TERRORISM

GROSS TERRORISM.

The terrorist, did police caught him yet?

CNN it was not a terrorism? Bcz people who have been killed are muslims? Or who killed is not a muslim? For god sake why whole world have double standards 😠😠😠

stupid prime miniter NZ

Lânet olsun hıristiyan fobi teröristlere.

Muslims shots down... No terrorism. If some else it was terrorism. Mann why the F*** is world of double standards 😠😠😠

😭😭😭

The mad killer said he admires Trump,no surprise here

Just a correction CNN: In this case they call it “terrorism not violence”

your country is a terrorist state

ChristchurchMosqueAttack TerroristAttack Terrorism

Stay strong, NZ! God bless NZ! “They are us”-what a great kindness and generosity even in face of adversity! Thank you, PM!

New Zealand shooting is a terrorist act , who's the barbar now ?

There is no place in NZ & no place in the world for extremist & terrorist.

I think you mean 'such acts of TERRORISM' .

This is the real meaning of terrorism 🖕🏻

THIS WAS ACT OF TERRORISM.

“Violence” this is Terrorism

Thanks to live stream. Otherwise another blame would had been thrown on shoulders of muslim

Suhaiella1

Why international media not calling them Australian Christian terrorist?

Am just waiting to hear what description she will call her white citizen/s who conducted this attack....lunatic....under influence.....NewZealandMosqueShooting

kristian terorist

Simply It is an act of terrorism

Stay safe everyone.

Trump should watch this and learn

Sial, celaka. Laknat, lancau, anak haram, keturunan babi, pengganas mat saleh kpla butuh pengecut. Lu bunuh org yg xleh lwn lu. Lu mmg pengecut kpla babi.

TheEliasRework Oh, how horrible. My heart goes out to New Zealand. So sad how hate is spreading like a dark shadow across the globe.

This was terrorism. Evil terrorism.

Yup it's nothing to do with terrorist.

Awful :(

For those who don't know about Jacinda Arden's politics, she's been described as 'like Trump on immigration'. So I'm not surprised this happened in New Zealand.

That’s purely an act of Terrorism, I am wondering why is it called “active shooters” instead of terrorists, is it necessary that such incidents happen only in Pakistan can be called act of Terrorism?

It's Terrorism.

This is so sad...

An act of terrorism and racist

So stupidoooo CNN, you should ask ppl not to go to the shopping mall as well cause they might get kill ... simpanskitbodohtu

Muslim has been terrorised by terrorist

This isn't going to stop me from going to the local mosque today

Checked my newsfeeds. Live coverage of the mosque shootings by BBC, Sky News Australia, Sky News UK, CNN. Continued coverage of celebrities rorting Ivy League colleges for their unqualified offspring- Fox News

Pure acts of terrorism.

We get them all the time it's sad. Society is lost

I guess strong gun laws doesn’t help prevent crazy ppl from gun violence.

DeepFikry

Horrible , my thought go out to the families of the dead and injured.

Gee I wish American leaders had this level of response every time a mass shooting happened.

LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP ISLAM REAP WHAT THEY HAVE SOWN.

I guess the explosion is on the way

Electing women to lead civilized nations is giving mad men courage to attack - no really - when will men take back their nations in developed countries?

4eyedRaven Shame on you for not labeling these attacks as terrorism!!!

I hate say how jealous I am of your response. In the USA this is on par to the price of cigarettes raising by 10 cents.

MattWalshBlog So ironic that this man’s manifesto is claiming that those lands belong to white people, when white people massacred the indigenous Maori people. This is so infuriating.

The Otego Mosques FB page was hiding a video of their intent. They took it down..but its right here...for the world to see.

Maybe you should've been investigating that Mosque for subversive activities.

Grim 💔🙏🏽

Please don't circulate the video of the terrorist gunning down our brothers and sisters. That's what he wanted. NewZealandMosqueShooting

Please don't circulate the video of the terrorist gunning down our brothers and sisters. That's what he wanted. NewZealand

what your problem is, would be tactical research beyond shootings and mapyielding by the web news agency. did you know, that every result of terrorism by such news is the agency to pretend police research. V Omega. 2 7

🎻🌹🌼💙🐕 Check out VEGAS STRONG (LasVegasStrong):

Whites shooting Muslims in NZ. Muslims shooting whites in Europe. When will we admit diversity is NOT our strength and flat out doesn’t work. People are too different. Let them stay in their homelands and let us stay in ours.

“Extreme and unprecedented violence” is literally the sugar coating cop out way of saying terrorism. Call it what it is. White-Terrorism.

Hmm, I guess this isn't only in the US. I guess it's the NRAs fault....

Violence, not terrorism

jeebus h. that woman has a long neck.

Our thoughts & prayers go to New Zealand, innocent ppl were attacked killed, injured because of their religion, in multiple mosques! by right wing radical terrorists, we also have them empowered by Trump & GOP here! democrats BlueWave2020 resistance SpeakerPelosi IlhanMN

WendyLouWho11 Sending LOVE from Philly, Pa. How horrific. My heart goes out to the families. Words can't express my sorrow.

My simphaty

Stop attacking New Zealand! You're just jealous because Lord of the Rings was filmed here in New Zealand. YouShallNotPass

Why aren’t they labelling it as terrorism?

Our prayers are with you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very sad ☹️

This was inspired by Candace Owens and Trump. They've got blood on their hands

Sorry to hear this news. 🌼🌹🕊💙

Expose that person in and out and tag him as a TERRORIST KNOW THAT terrorists have no religion!!!!!!

‘Innocent Muslim worshippers killed by terrorists’

Headline 'Police: People should not go to mosques.' Why isn't it 'Police: People should not shoot others at mosques.' The fault is not the people going to the mosque, it's with the criminals shooting others.

MattWalshBlog Uhm... looks like there is a place .... Christchurch.

God bless you all

And to be honest. It does not happen in NZ. Wondering what made it so

Z

brianstelter Amazing that none of your headlines mention that the targets are immigrants and mosques. Would it be the same if the target was a synagogue or church?

Channel 7 Aus have released Iage and name of shooter

ye lo khanumarfa MehboobaMufti RanaAyyub _sabanaqvi ..... aap ke bratharan... phir mosque... ye duniya bhar mei peacefuls hi aatank kyun phelata hai, look in the damn MIRROR you fools!!

ANOTHER EPIC GAMER MOMENT 😎

This is an act of TERRORISM

This is sad, man. Terrorist, that is all I am calling the people who were behind this because that's exactly what they are.

AOmelas My thoughts are with all affected this cruel act.

This is only shooting not terrorism?terrorism term is only for Muslims?

So very sorry💔

From the heart and soul of a true leader

Praise the unarmed,NZ police, one mad murderer in custody ,!!

🙏🙏🙏🙏

What is she gonna say....

Sending prayers to all

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Act of violence , if a Muslim opened fire it would be a act of terror !!

This is so awful!

Did anyone else notice the caption’s horrible grammar or was that just me? 🤔 “people should not to go to mosques” ..what? Get your ish together CNN.

Prayers to all families affected and New Zealand 🇳🇿 our friends.🙏🏻🇺🇸

Why aren’t they labelling it as terrorist act? Is it because the shooter might be a white supremacist?

France freed the Americans from the English, but they have always remained with this Anglo-Saxon side, New Zealand too. Except Quebec.

Dear Americans its only been 3 hours since this event has happened. Now is not the time, to score points by saying stupid things like our gun laws. Don't be that person! Christchurch

White terrorists again

For our part, the US is shamed and so sorry for allowing the rise of trump, who has joined forces with, and strengthened the bigots, fascists and racists of the world. We grieve with you, NZ.

😢🙏

Mashiach in 5 to 9 years, the evolution I speak of is 'Global', Humanity is not evolving & G-d's Word & Plan at 'Houses of Faith (marriage & family) is being attacked by 'Progressive Liberals', wickedness, evil, knows no borders thr

And they are pretty much gun free in New Zealand.

Christian Terrorist killed more than 40Muslims offering prayer in Newzealand Christchurch Main mosque. Just terrible and disgusting 😣

Why isn’t CNN broadcasting this in the US?

I thought these things don't happen there because of gum control 🤷‍♂️

Trump is responsible. WhiteHouse hogangidley45 majorcbs acosta BrianKarem PeterAlexander johnrobertsFox BretBaier trump is a danger all over the world. kwelkernbc mschlapp NicolleDWallace SaraCarterDC

White supremacists are upset the West no longer rules the World. Better tighten gun laws to prevent repeats BUT I know it won't happen.

.jacindaardern live now on the ChristchurchShooting and condemned the attack!! Imagine mass shootings have on a regular basis in America which go unnoticed or NOT even news worthy! GunViolence NRA 2A GunSense
