(New Zealand) Christchurch mosque shooting sees armed police deployed and schools in lockdown

There are reports up to a dozen people have been injured in a shooting at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Police have confirmed they are responding to a "critical incident".

All Christchurch schools are in lockdown and witnesses have reported multiple injuries.

The mosque was reportedly busy due to Friday prayers.

Witness Len Peneha said he saw a man dressed in black enter the Masjid Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch about 1:45pm and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from the mosque in terror.

Mr Peneha, who has lived next door to the mosque for about five years, said the gunman ran out of the mosque, dropped what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon in his driveway, and fled.

Mr Peneha said he then went into the mosque to try and help.

"I saw dead people everywhere. There were three in the hallway, at the door leading into the mosque, and people inside the mosque," he said.

"It's unbelievable nutty. I don't understand how anyone could do this to these people, to anyone. It's ridiculous."..

Apparently, members of the Bangladesh National Cricket Team, which is in New Zealand for a series of Test Matches, were in the Mosque.

Comments like yours are excellent terrorist recruitment tools.
Muslims are not all of a sort.

Racism, and murder are grave sins. Those who imagine that they have the grace of God and hate those victims in the mosque are deluded.

His manifesto’s climax is that he wants to polarize the 2nd amendment battle in the UNITED STATES so as to bring about a racial civil war! Gee thanks, asshole! Why does he have to drag US into his personal race war?

While I denounce any unlawful acts towards anyone or any group in general, you do realize that Islam (a socio-political philosophy, not a religion) in and of itself is contrary to our way of life and is sworn/ ordered to either covert or subdue us by supposed divine dictate? You think they care about such sympathy when one of them butchers non-islamic types?

CNN thinks any evil act not done by an avowed Marxist must have been committed by a Conservative. They don’t really get political theory beyond Socialist=Noble, Conservative=baaad.

A Serbian neo-nazi in New Zealand shoots up a mosque in a town named Christchurch to protest the Islamification of Europe. Curious. I will withhold further comment until more is known; though I wonder if the shooter will be find-able.

The shooter said in his manifesto that he did this crime with a gun to heat up the gun-grabbing debate to try and cause more division to incite a race war.

I have to wonder did he have a handler? Somebody who knew what buttons of his to push?

As do secularism, abortion, drug addiction, and porneia, sans the divine dictate.

You think they care about such sympathy when one of them butchers non-islamic types?

Reading these comments, are they any different from what they project?

According to current reporting, one suspect is in custody. There may be other suspects. Shooting took place at 2 different mosques. One car with explosives was stopped in the general area.

I saw all 16 minutes of the video. Looks like close to 40 or 50 injured or dead.

sooner or later there will be violent conflict or just meek ‘submission’.

The guy is a loon. I saw plenty of muzzies in France & the Low Countries. Never had the idea to shoot up a mosque.

I am well aware of how islam works as a politicoreligious organization. Generalizations are dangerous. I doubt if every one of the victims in that mosque were 911 terrorists or even supported that ideology.

If we are ever going to defeat radical muslim terrorists it is going to have to be organic to the muslim community. The change is going to have to be from within. Lumping all muslims into the 911 murderers ain’t going to work.
