World reacts with disgust at NewZealandMosqueShooting
JAKARTA - Political and religious leaders around the world expressed disgust and sorrow at the deadly shooting at two mosques in New Zealand on Friday , with some blaming politicians and the media for having stoked hatred of Muslims that led to the attack.
Bangladeshi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam said it was"extremely lucky" the country's cricket team, in Christchurch for a match against New Zealand, did not suffer casualties. The players arrived for Friday prayers as the shooting started. "They are us," she said."The person who has perpetuated this violence against us is not. They have no place in New Zealand."
Britain's Queen Elizabeth, the head of state of New Zealand, said in a statement:"I have been deeply saddened by the appalling events in Christchurch today. Prince Philip and I send our condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives." Mr Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim mayor of London, said Londoners stood shoulder to shoulder with the people of Christchurch.
