- The Muslim call to prayer sounded out over Christchurch and around New Zealand on Friday, as thousands gathered to remember the 50 people killed by a lone gunman at two mosques a week ago.
Today from the same place I look out and I see the love and compassion in the eyes of thousands of fellow New Zealanders and human beings from across the globe, that fill the hearts of millions more who are not with us physically, but in spirit. This evil ideology of white supremacy did not strike us first, yet it struck us hardest. The number of people killed is not ordinary, but the solidarity in New Zealand is extra ordinary.
They were the best of us, taken from us on the best of days, in the best of places and performing the best of actions.Our loss of you, is a gain to New Zealand’s unity and strength.Your martyrdom is a new life for New Zealand and a chance of prosperity for many.We are here in our hundreds and thousands unified for one purpose – That hate will be undone, and love will redeem us.
“Give glad news to the patient – Those who when afflicted they say, To Allah we all belong, and to Him we shall return. They are those upon whom God’s Mercy descends”. To fear what we wear. To fear the choice of food we eat. To fear the way we pray and to fear the way we practice our faith.The martyrdom of 50 innocent people and the injury of 42 last Friday did not come over night. It was the result of the anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim rhetoric by some political leaders, some media agencies and others.
