Fury as Australian senator blames Christchurch attack on Muslim immigration
2019-03-16
[Guardian] An Australian senator has been strongly criticised after he blamed the New Zealand shooting on Muslim immigration.

Following the attack, which left 49 people dead at two mosques in Christchurch, Fraser Anning tweeted: "Does anyone still dispute the link between Muslim immigration and violence?"

In a statement shared by an Australian journalist on Twitter, the Queensland senator also wrote: "As always, leftwing politicians and the media will rush to claim that the causes of today’s shootings lie with gun laws or those who hold nationalist views, but this is all cliched nonsense.

"The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place."

The remarks were denounced by the UK home secretary, Sajid Javid, who accused the senator of stoking extremism.

#10  Is this going to see a backlash against the white folk?

Green-fascism is a movement of peace.

#9  We have to ask what Muslims did to bring this on themselves, what legitimate grievances are behind the downtrodden acting out.

What? That's what we hear endlessly after Muslim terror attacks. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

#7  "Sure, a mosque is a lot like a church
Once your Christ has been knocked from his perch!
Hard to tell us apart
('cept for art, tunes, and heart),
If your creed were re-written by SMERSH."

#2  The entire quote:
"I am utterly opposed to any form of violence within our community, and I totally condemn the actions of the gunman," he wrote. "However, whilst this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence."

“The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place. Let us be clear, while Muslims may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators.”

Usually, when some nutjob pulls off a terror attack, there is some mention of how he was a "known wolf". Not seeing any of that here. Don't know if it because he was under the radar or because it doesn't fit The Narrative.
