THE barbaric act of terrorism in Christchurch is an appalling loss of 51 Muslim lives murdered for bowing before Allah.

The international media particularly in the West is also to blame because of its constant Islamophobia rant. The West should know that if one sows the wind it should be ready to reap the whirlwind.

NO one from developed nations will dare to declare New Zealand a terrorist state. There will be no ban on international cricket in New Zealand even for a year. Yet I do share the grief of the families whose loved ones fell victim to the terrorist attack.

I do not think this act could be done by any Muslim group. It looked a part of international politics to defame Muslims and New Zealand.
