    No, try reading what was said. I said that the terrorist is a supporter of Trump. Just like the sicko who murdered a bunch of Jews in the US, and the one who sent bombs to a bunch of people. It's not like the 'far Left' commits massacres in NZ or the US. It's the extreme RW nutbags who are totally responsible for that...

    Although most posters here are Americans, the site is international. So, it's somewhat annoying when topics far from US politics are made into far right/left squabbling.

    No, wrong again - we're being forced to fight back, because contrary to what the religious flakes believe, the meek won't inherit the Earth, the strong and ruthless will??

    The "mess" of the Middle East predated the DISCOVERY of America.
    It you go through each nation there and look at its problems I doubt you
    will find "Made in USA" on much of it. Even Iraq - it's now a democracy
    (sort of) doesn't invade its neighbors or use WMD's anymore.
    The rot set in with Islam, and quickly into Shia and Sunni Islam, then
    into Islamic wars, then the Ottoman Empire, then the technological and
    scientific rise of Christianity with its resultant wealth and freedom - the
    Real Reason Muslims hate us.

    Hamas tries to do this nearly every day. It sends its own CHILDREN into conflict,
    and with rockets, tunnels, incendiary kites and shooting or bombing school buses,
    targets other people's children.

    I honesty don't know where to begin except to say that your bigotry is only exceeded by your complete ignorance of history. New Zealand and the US are part of a group of societies that fall under the banner of Western Culture which in turn was formed and influenced by Christianity but is not wholly defined by it. Muslim civilization in the middle ages made vast contributions to western civilization by preserving the works of Greek philosophers and reintroducing them to the West after the fall of the Roman Empire, they also made major contributions to Western medicine, mathematics, chemistry and astronomy. The West in turn contributed significantly to the development of 'Eastern Civilizations'. Religion is of course a major part of any strand of civilization but it is not the ONLY strand as you seem to insist. And if the West was and is never wholly defined by Christianity then the 'East' was never wholly defined by the religion of Muhammad.

    Secondly show me anywhere in the New Testament where Jesus or his Apostles suggest that conduct like what has just happened in Christchurch is acceptable. If as you suggest we are a 'Christian Culture' and you define yourself as part of that culture how then do you find this incident acceptable? Please explain how you go from the sermon on the mount and 'love your neighbor as yourself' to the drivel you are spouting now.

    And go read a history book for Gods sake.

    There are conflicts in Africa between muslims and Christians, but some insist on mentioning only the Christians who have died. People from both sides die in those confrontations.

    What happened in in NZ, a civilized nation, is terrible. The count is now 49 dead.

    I hope it is only a co-incidence that the killed uses the same words as alt-right (and even Trump) in US calling the victims "invaders".

    It's progress that you're now referring to terrorists as "scum", and assume you mean all terrorists.

    So Hamas justifies this terrorist attack? Your views are sickening and repulsive and no better than the poison spewed by Hamas.

    But that's generally expected from Muslims, like plowing a truck down on a busy street, or bombing school buses, rock concerts and restaurants.

    The shock here is that it is (presumably) White Kiwis with a Christian influence who did this and we always expect more from them than we do from Muslims.

    To put in one sentence, the West is what is is because there were no Muslims and the worship was to Jesus, not Allah.
    Of course, it's not all about Christianity. But it's a Christian culture after all.
    After WW2 they started letting Muslims in "en mass" and see what happened.

    The claim that Muslims saved Western science and philosophy is rubbish. I suggest watching this video:

    I didn't realize merely uttering trumpelthinskins name and stating the fact hes been admired in the manifesto of a terrorist would cause such upset. Toughen up a bit. 49 people were murdered by a sicko. I doubt NZ gives a **** about yr hurt feelings right now

    You should spend more time mourning your dead than bashing a American president that has nothing to do with the attack

    Oooh ...a video, well that proves you must be right then. And exactly where did I suggest that Muslims 'saved' Western Civilization? I think the term I used was 'made vast contributions' (during the middle ages).

    And BTW your 'history lesson' starts with '9/11 FFS !!!!

    Pssst! I hear he trashed the other NZ massacre thread too! PrincipleInvestment says the terrorists were inspired by Australia's Turnbull. He says Australia's "Pacific Solution" policy of confining muslim refugees in concentration camps on Manus Island contributed to this. Someone should report him. :;):
