Christchurch mosque shootings: Several dead after New Zealan

[McAz]

US President Donald Trump has said he doesn't believe white nationalism is a rising threat.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, he said: "I don't really. I think it's a small group of people."

The president also said he had not seen the document posted online in which the suspected Christchurch gunman praised Trump as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose".


Oh dear...

And yet...

Right-wing terrorists killed three times more people in US than Islamists in past decade with attacks soaring in 2018, report says

Well, white people kill more people period.

And get the most speeding tickets.

Donate the most organs.

Drink more whiskey.

Attend more NASCAR races.

We are a majority you know. Especially when compared to the adherents of Big Mo's teachings

Who said anything about white people?

Not sure what it says about us (this forum, and/or the West), but Muslims being killing in a Mosque is hardly an unusual event. It is in Western countries, but not in more Muslim countries. We don't seem to signal our virtue quite as hard when a bomb goes off in a Mosque in Pakistan and kills a few dozen folks. We don't seem to care. It definitely wouldn't be a very active thread on this forum, if someone were to post about it.

Perhaps because the far-right have for years been peddling the narrative that white/Christian folks are superior - and so we are duly appalled.

So you're more surprised when the white folks go postal, than when the Mosque attending folks do?

I don't buy into the narrative so why would I be?

Good point. There are 6 non white, right wing terrorists on the planet. Don't want to leave them out. They worked hard to get where they are and I don't want to be discriminatory.

ISIS are right-wing.

So why don't we care when a few dozen Muslims are blown to bits in a mosque in Pakistan?

I do care.

[Maddog]

ISIS are right-wing.

I would put them in a class of religious zealots or a cult.

They don't fall into the left-right paradigm very well.

I do care.

OK, why don't we have multi page threads when it happens?

I've never heard of a left-wing theocracy, have you?

Because the western news rarely features such incidents.

I expected him to at least stay out of the thread if he has nothing of worth to say - if for no other reason than we have a New Zealander here who, like millions of her fellow citizens, is bearing the shock.

You've trolled every tragedy and terrorist attack thread as far back as I can remember - with no subject off limits. You get your jollies on the back of other people's misery. Do you think for one moment anyone is buying into your fake Mr Concerned act?

Re the attack itself- cowardly and vile of course.

So you thought you'd troll this one - well done.

That's just a few, in one country. I could find plenty more.

The Western Press reports them, the western consumers of those reports don't care. The posters on this forum (you included) don't bother starting threads about these attacks. That's not even debatable. The bigger question is why?

I didn't say they didn't report them - I said features them.
