Violence against Muslims in Christchurch
The Wellington Abrahamic Council of Jews, Christians,
and Muslims
condemns the violence against the Muslim
Community in Christchurch
today. While the situation is
still unfolding, it is clear that many
innocent people
have been killed - may they rest in peace.
The Jewish and
Christian communities send love and support to our
Muslim
brothers and sisters.
Such deadly violence aimed
at religious people has been unknown in New
Zealand -
until now, and has no place in our normally peaceful
country.
Now is the time to stand together, support our
Muslim friends, and most
importantly, keep talking and
keep working to better understand each
other.
